On Tuesday, April 6th, my cousin Guy Washburn, 27, was traveling home from work on his motorcycle when a Jeep turned in front of him. He was airlifted to St. Vincent hospital, where he passed away.  Guy was a dedicated fiancé, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He was so much to so many people, but most of all to his fiancé Ruby. Guy is survived by Ruby and their three young children: Jaxton (4), Hollie (3), and Arthur (9 mos.).

Guy’s loss leaves a heartache no one can heal. We are trying to raise money for Ruby and their children to help with any costs that will incur and to help wherever needed. For a mom with three young children the list of day to day expenses she will now face alone is endless. This money won’t heal their hearts, but it will make their lives a little easier after the tragic loss of their father.

"When someone you love dies, and you're not expecting it, you don't lose him all at once; you lose him in pieces over a long time - the way the mail stops coming, and his scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in his closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of him that are gone. Just when the day comes - when there's a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that he’s gone, forever - there comes another day, and another specifically missing part."
