We are so very sad to announce the passing of 4-month-old Joel Richard Hankin. He was so loved by his parents, Ryan and Elianna Hankin, twin sister, 2-year-old sister, grandparents, and entire family.

This occurred in moments and has been an excruciating, devastating experience for his parents. His father Ryan performed CPR attempting to save him. His father will be unable to work for some time due to his devastation over these events. His mom is a full-time student and was continuing her education in Psychology while also caring for their three children.

They are wonderful parents and any help possible, defraying the cost of unexpected funeral expenses while allowing Ryan to be home with his family until he is capable of returning to work.
