About the Ryan Robert White Foundation
Remembering Ryan's Light
The Ryan Robert White Foundation was created after the tragic loss of our 19-year-old son, Ryan. On April 24, 2024, Ryan lost his life in a motor vehicle accident while driving to the gym-something he did every day.
Through our grief, we chose to honor his life by creating a way for his light to continue shining.
Ryan's Story
Ryan was smart, enthusiastic, and deeply kind. He loved his friends and family wholeheartedly and was an amazing big brother to his younger siblings, Adelyn and Louis.
He showed up for people in meaningful ways, offering friendship, warmth, and encouragement. His kindness and spirit touched everyone who knew him.
Living Through Loss
Losing Ryan changed our lives forever. We spent the first year taking life one moment at a time, learning how to carry grief while holding onto love.
Focusing on Ryan's beautiful life and the love he shared continues to guide us forward each day.
Why This Foundation Exists
As we move forward, we honor Ryan by helping others as he did. This foundation exists to provide support, encouragement, and compassion to individuals and families navigating grief and loss.
Our mission is to bring light and hope during life's darkest moments.
A Message to Grieving Families
The resources shared through this foundation are ones that have helped us along our own journey. Everyone experiences grief differently, but no one should have to face it alone.
We hope you find comfort here and reassurance that you are supported and understood.
With Love
We are deeply sorry for your loss. May your child's light continue to shine and guide you forward.
Sending All Our Love,
Amanda Mohr & Family
