Many of us have known Ryan for a long time and he has brought so much laughter and joy to all of our lives. He was a gentle giant with a heart of gold whose towering presence filled every room he entered. To lose him so suddenly leaves such an empty place in all of our hearts. The world seems to stop. The fiery crash that claimed his life was a cluster of cars and semis that carried families, brothers, sisters, and parents - people living their everyday lives that never expected they would not make it home that night. It shows us that even a moment of inattention in an everyday task we take for granted (namely, driving) can have consequences that ripple beyond what we can imagine. Our lives will never be the same.

We are absolutely devastated by Ryan's passing and are struggling to find the funds to cover our living expenses and funeral costs as we navigate the coming months.

Please consider donating if you're able to do so. We are so very grateful for every donation during this difficult time.

With Love,

Nikki and Apollo
