Support Braydon’s Family and Help Rylan Heal

On April 22, 2026, our world changed forever.

Our dear friend Gary Hendrickson and his wife Bernice Walker are facing every parent’s worst nightmare after a tragic accident involving Gary’s 17-year-old twin sons, Braydon and Rylan. While Rylan remains in the hospital recovering from surgery, Braydon tragically passed away.

Braydon was an incredible young man — a talented basketball player, beloved friend, son, brother, and twin whose life touched so many. His loss has left an unimaginable void in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.

As Gary and Bernice navigate overwhelming grief while remaining by Rylan’s side during his recovery, we want to help ease some of the financial burdens they may face — memorial expenses, medical-related costs, travel, meals, and time away from work to focus on family.

This fundraiser is being organized to support Gary Hendrickson, Bernice Walker, and their family, honor Braydon’s life, and stand beside Rylan as he heals.

If you knew Braydon, you know his heart, his spirit, and how deeply he was loved. And if you know this family, you know they have always shown up for others — now it’s our turn to show up for them.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will help.

If you’re unable to donate, please share this page and keep Gary, Bernice, Rylan, and the entire Hendrickson family in your prayers.

Help us honor Braydon’s life, support his family, and rally around Rylan in his recovery. ❤️
