River Ludemann Memorial

Donation protected
Many have asked for another option then Venmo to help the Ludemann family who tragically lost their 14 year old son River Ray on Saturday May 27th. Please share this link to donate. The last thing Shane and Jess should have to worry about right now is finances.

From Jessica Ludemann:
River Ray we were so truly honored to be your parents. You lived everyday the way you wanted. With no fear with no regrets.

He will be forever young. Never to feel pain or loss. Forever perfect.

The most gifted horseman I ever met. Born to be a cowboy. You had the world wrapped around your finger.

Shane Ludemann and I want you all to know that Riv is at peace. We can feel him here at the ranch.

To the first responders and medical staff we are forever greatful. He was surrounded by those he loved the most. To our incredible community of Fort Pierre we're in awe. We take strength from knowing he was so loved.

We need to live our lives free of regret or fear of failure just like him. He would never want you to be sad, but to celebrate life. So we will hold his funeral at the Stanley County Fairgrounds. Where he's spent so many happy days growing and playing. To ensure that EVERYONE who would like to be there can. Monday the 5th. Viewing at 1pm. Funeral at 3pm.

We were so lucky to be the ones that got to love him. We are blessed to still have Coy. Harper has a big brother and God is still good.

To honor Riv PLEASE share stories and send photos to Memorial video upload link for River Ludemann
And please don't wear sad clothing. He loved clothes so wear your hats. Do not take them off.
