Help for Ryan Smith's Young Family

Donation protected
Friends & Family: Please help, if you can.  We were informed of terrible news Sunday morning that Ryan Smith had a massive heart attack on Saturday night, and passed away.

Although I was not a "close, personal friend" to Ryan and Kalea Smith, I knew Ryan to be a compassionate, God-Loving, wonderful person. Ryan has been subbing in our building as a para-educator for the past year and prior to this, was working at Centralia Middle School to assist with the safety of the school and to build relationships with students.

I recently had a conversation with Ryan about his passion for kids, and he was beginning to pursue an additional  degree in pursuing his dream to become a special education teacher. 

For those who knew him, in any manner, you knew his desire to be a positive, loving example and to make others feel important. He loved his family. His wife, Kalea, and son, Parker (4), were everything to him. In times like this you rack your brain on ways to help. With someone like Ryan, I know his wish would be that his sweet family is taken care of and not burdened with expenses.

Please help Kalea and sweet Parker to make sure that one thing they will not have to worry about during this devastating time is money. Thank you in advance!
