On September 22, 2025, our family experienced an unimaginable loss with the passing of Ryan Hopkins—a devoted husband, loving father and stepfather, and cherished friend. Ryan’s kindness, humor, and love touched everyone who knew him, and his absence leaves a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.

Ryan leaves behind his wife, Susan Hopkins, who now faces the difficult task of not only grieving the loss of her husband but also navigating the many financial responsibilities of their household on her own.

This fundraiser has been created to help Susan cover immediate and urgent expenses, including cremation and funeral services, as well as ongoing needs such as the mortgage, utility bills, and vehicle expenses. These contributions will provide her with much-needed support as she works to adjust and organize her finances during this heartbreaking time.

My name is Heather White. I am Ryan’s stepdaughter and Susan’s daughter, and I am managing this fundraiser on behalf of my mom to help lift some of the burden from her shoulders.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference and allow Susan the space to grieve without the added weight of overwhelming financial stress. If you are unable to give financially, please consider sharing this campaign with others and keeping Susan in your thoughts and prayers.

On behalf of my mom and our entire family, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,

Heather White
