It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Ryan Johnson. Ryan was a great husband, father, son, brother, and friend to many. He leaves behind a wife and two children. His oldest is set to graduate high school in a few short months with plans of joining the Coast Guard, and their youngest is just in 7th grade. Cristy is now faced with not only the devastation of losing her husband but also the financial burden of a single-family income and the costs that go with such an unexpected tragedy. Both Ryan and Cristy have touched the lives of so many—they would do anything for anyone, whether it be someone they love or a stranger.

I feel that this is our turn to give back to their sweet family in their time of need. I am raising money to cover the costs of the funeral and memorial services for Ryan's family as this passing was completely unexpected. Any excess money will go to help cover bills and help with the needs of their two children. No amount is too small and if a donation isn't possible, a share would be much appreciated. Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this heartbreaking time.
