Ryley’s Neverland
Hello Everyone, I am Ryley’s older sister writing this on behalf of my grieving parents and family. On 11-19-20 our baby boy Ryley Jacob Pendleton passed away at the age of 19 from a seizure while he was sleeping. At the age of 8 he was diagnosed with epilepsy on top of already not being able to walk or talk due to an undiagnosed reason we couldn’t understand. He spent his whole life in hospitals and after 17 years of testing we finally found a doctor that figured out he was allergic to Tetanus which was in the DTP vaccination he had received when he was 5 months old, but due to his unexpected passing we will never know the full truth as in why he went through what he did his whole life. He was Non-verbal but oh trust, you could hear his heart and soul with his silly noises and infectious laughter. He was non-ambulatory but he was the backbone to this entire family. He was confused and didn’t understand everything but he knew how loved he was and he knew how to show his love for us. He was a fighter his whole life and we fought strongly by his side every second of it. He was a very happy boy, laughing and smiling non stop. As his older sister, I spent every day with him. He was my best friend in the whole world and I was his. I’d come home everyday from school and babysit him so my mom could go to work to keep a roof over our heads. As I got older I started pursuing my dreams which was to give my brother a better life. Ryleys father became a full time worker while My mom became a stay at home mom and for the last 19 years she’s known nothing other than being the best mommy to her baby boy and providing every need of his no matter how tired and exhausted she was from lifting him into his wheelchair and bathtub everyday, feeding him, dressing him and changing his diapers. Ugh.. My entire life, along with my entire family.. has revolved around him and it is the best blessing anyone could receive. He was an angel here on earth and we feel so truly blessed to be the family God knew would be strong enough to raise an angel like him. He’s forever our Ryley mans, bubus, and my Peter Pan... second star to the right and straight on till morning ✨
Thank you to anyone that can help, My family has lost a lot during this pandemic.. we are very tight on money. Everything we had went intotaking care of him in hopes of him getting better.. we never in a million years were ready for him to leave us so early and so young. All the money raised is going to funeral expenses, medical expenses and to help my parents get by as they adjust to a new world without their only son... my only brother..
thank you everyone ❤️ Sincerely Ryley mans Family
