Support for Ryan's Cremation Costs

Donation protected
On July 12th, 2024, I received the one phone call no one ever wants to get. As many of you know, my brother Ryan has struggled with being in and out of jail his whole life. Well, last Friday, I received a call from the warden at Cibola County Correctional out in Milan. He stated my brother had hung himself in his cell and that they made efforts to save him, but were not successful. He was supposed to be released soon to go to a rehab and was looking forward to getting better and changing his life. Those of you that know my brother know this is not something he would have ever done! Something about this whole situation doesn't sit right with me... it doesn't add up.. but nonetheless, I am still left with the need to get my brother cremated.

The medical investigator notified me today that his body is ready to be released to a funeral home... after looking at costs and applying for financing, I cannot afford it, nor do I qualify for financing. So if anyone can donate anything at all, I ensure you all money raised will go towards the final expenses. I'm sure my brother did not do this to himself, and he did not deserve this! He was only 33 years old and his birthday would have been in 2 weeks! He was looking forward to starting over with his girlfriend and being there again for her 5 kids who he loved more than life itself! He wouldn't have ever done this! He was my best friend! We had been through the worst and the best times together! I've always had his back and he's had mine. It's been just me and him since our mom passed away 5 years ago, and I am not sure how I'm supposed to make it through the rest of this life without him.
