Support for Carter & Max: In Loving Memory of Jay Riedl

The Riedl family is grieving the unimaginable — the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Jay Riedl, a beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, father and friend. Jay was an incredibly loving, generous, and funny soul who gave everything to those he loved. His greatest joy in life was being a devoted dad to his two beautiful boys, Carter (4) and Max (2).

In the wake of this tragedy, the Riedl family (Denise and Conrad Riedl, grandparents, and Ryan and Melissa Riedl, uncle and aunt) are rallying together to raise Carter and Max with the same love, stability, and opportunity that Jay worked so hard to provide. As they open their home and hearts, they are also facing the financial burden of adjusting their lives to support two young children.

Funds raised will help cover immediate needs such as:

• Diapers and toddler essentials

• Child-proofing and safety upgrades

• Building additional space in their home

• Clothing, furniture, and daily care expenses

• Daycare and early education

And future needs including:

• Extracurricular activities and sports

• School supplies and clothing

• College savings and long-term support

Every dollar will go directly to the care and well-being of Carter and Max. The Riedl family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and generosity during this difficult time.

Thank you for helping to surround these boys with the love and stability Jay would have wanted for them.
