We are deeply saddened to announce that earlier this week we had to say goodbye to one of the most amazing people in the world, Tameron Ricker. All of our hearts are broken by the unexpected loss of Tameron. She was a devoted daughter to her parents Ken and Sharon, a big sister to her brother Craig, a loving wife to Todd, and the most incredible mother ever to her three children Reagan (19), Quincy (16), and Gadsden (14), as well as their dog Delilah (which she would want to be included in this list).

To know Tameron Ricker was to love her. Whether as a family member, a friend, a colleague, or just the incredible human being that she was, she brought warmth, kindness, and light to every room she entered. She was never inhibited in the love that she shared, in that she never seemed to run out of it. From paying for stranger’s ice creams “just because she wanted to share kindness”, to always reaching out to people unprompted, to being the amazing mother she was, Tameron was one to share her compassion and care with everyone around her. Her love for her family was the center of her world, and she poured her heart into raising her children and building a life filled with adventure, laughter, and love with Todd. The loss of Tameron is felt deeply by everyone who knew her because her presence was felt immensely: while she is now gone, we are grateful for the joy and countless beautiful memories that we enjoyed while she was alive.

As her family begins to navigate life without her, many have asked how they can come alongside them with love and support.

If you feel moved to help, any contribution will go directly to Tameron’s family and will be used in whatever ways they need most in the days and months ahead. Above all, please continue to keep Todd, Reagan, Quincy, Gadsden in your thoughts and prayers as they face this unimaginable loss.
