On Monday, July 7th, our hearts were shattered by the sudden and tragic loss of Ryan Walters, who passed away in a motorcycle accident. His unexpected death has left an overwhelming void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him — especially his fiancée, Amber, and their beloved son, Barrett.
Ryan was so much more than the circumstances of his passing. He was a devoted partner, a loving father, a loyal friend, and a man who lived with heart and passion. His energy was magnetic, his smile unforgettable, and his love for Amber and Barrett was at the center of everything he did. He worked hard, loved deeply, and dreamed big — particularly about building a life with Amber and raising their son together.
Amber and Ryan were set to be married on August 2nd of this year — a day that was meant to celebrate the beginning of their next chapter. In the face of unspeakable grief, Amber has made the courageous decision to honor that date by turning it into a celebration of Ryan’s life. Friends and loved ones are invited to gather at their home on August 2nd at 3:30 PM to share stories, love, and memories of the man who meant so much to so many.
In the wake of this devastating loss, Amber and Barrett now face not only emotional pain but also unexpected financial burdens — funeral expenses, household costs, and the ongoing needs of raising a child while grieving a future cut short.
Many have already reached out asking how to help — how to show up for Amber and Barrett in meaningful ways. The truth is, now is when they need their community more than ever. That support might look like a hot meal, a check-in phone call, help with Barrett, or simply being present in the hard days ahead.
With Amber’s permission, we’ve set up a GoFundMe to help ease some of the financial stress that comes with such a sudden tragedy. No contribution is too small — and every dollar, every share, and every message of support helps. Let’s surround Amber and Barrett with the same love and strength that Ryan so generously gave in his life.
Please keep them in your prayers. Please say Ryan’s name. And please help us honor a man whose story, though cut tragically short, was filled with deep love and purpose.
Ryan Walters will be remembered — not for the way he left this world, but for the way he lived in it. His legacy lives on in Amber’s courage, in Barrett’s smile, and in the hearts of all who knew him.
Rest in peace, Ryan. You are loved beyond measure.
