Hi everyone,

I’m sharing this on behalf of Ryan and Courtney, who have been together since high school — nearly 16 years of love, companionship, and building a beautiful life together. They’ve made a home here in our community, raising three amazing children, Emma, Peyton and Luke - ages 14, 9, and 7.

Over the past year, Ryan has been fighting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with unbelievable courage and determination. He’s faced every treatment, every setback, and every uncertainty with quiet strength — always putting his family first. At the center of his life, are the four of them.

Recently, Ryan and Courtney received heartbreaking news that his treatments are no longer having the results they had hoped for. Their focus now is on comfort, time together, and creating lasting memories for their children.

Anyone who knows them knows how deeply they love one another and how much they mean to this community. But right now, they are overwhelmed — emotionally, physically, and financially — as they navigate the hardest season of their lives.

This GoFundMe has been created to lift some of that weight from their shoulders. Donations will go directly toward their family’s living expenses — helping them stay in their home, cover daily needs, and give their children stability and moments of peace in the middle of heartbreak.

Our town has always rallied for its own, and I know we can do that again. Every donation, every share, and every kind word will make a difference for a family that has given so much love to others.

Please keep Ryan, Courtney, and their kids in your prayers — and help us surround them with the same strength and love they’ve shown all of us. ❤️
