Family and Friends,

On September 27th, Ryan suffered a severe allergic reaction at his home leading to anaphylactic shock and cardiac arrest. He is recovering in hospital but has a long road ahead.

Ryan and his wife, Britnie, have a 2 year old son Jack, a 7 month old daughter Emma, and a 3rd child on the way.

Ryan was born and raised on the south side of Chicago and is a proud graduate of St. Rita High School and the University of Iowa where he excelled in his football career. Ryan is a devoted father, husband, son, brother, teammate, and friend to so many. Those who know him know his kindness and his ability to make anyone feel comfortable and welcome.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for the love, kindness, and generosity to help support Ryan and Britnie during this critical time.
