Ryan Knee’s celebration of life/kids fund

Donation protected

On March 14th we lost a wonderful man. Ryan Scott Knee was a son, a dad, a cousin, a nephew, a grandson, a best friend, a teammate and so much more to so many people. He left behind his fantastic parents Jeff and Lisa Knee, and his wonderful children. These lives will forever be changed, but they also all gained the best guardian angel. Thursday he was found by his parents, unresponsive at home. He passed away sometime in the middle of the night, and at this time a definite cause of death is unfounded until an autopsy has been done. We know Ryan was struggling to fight some very tough demons. He had fought this battle with addiction, and he was struggling to find his path. Ryan knew recovery and had a significant impact on the Narcotics  Anonymous  program for many years. He wanted so badly to get back on track, and wanted help  to get his life back together. 

His kind heart has touched so many lives and even in death I know he is going to have an impact on many more lives. Funds are  tight for everyone, and we understand, but we would love to make things easier for Ryan’s parents and loved ones by asking for help with expenses with his arrangements and celebration of life which will be planned and announced shortly. All funds donated will go to help his parents plan and finance these unexpected expenses and hopefully give them a cushion with bills so Jeff does not have to worry about falling behind because he is going to have to take time off work to grieve and attend to making arrangements. I am also hoping to gather enough funds to give his children something like a big gift from daddy or to allow their moms to take them on a vacation dedicated to coping and grieving the loss of their daddy.
We all understand that finances are tight for many people, and nobody should feel obligated to donate, I just set this up in case there was people whose  hearts are wanting them to assist the knee family.  For those who are not able to donate, just pray for Relief for all those affected by this tragedy. 
You never know when your last moments are with someone so take advantage of every second you get with your loved ones
