Richard Brian Meadows

This is Ryan and Richard Meadows with their son Joe. They were happily married and together for 15 years. Ryan lost her husband unexpectedly on February 18, 2023. He wasn't feeling well a few days prior, and thought that it may have been a pulled muscle in his chest from coughing. Two days later after experiencing extreme shortness of breath, an ambulance was called. Unfortunately, he coded on the way to the hospital and they were unable to stabilize him. Richard was only 47 years old and just celebrated his 15th wedding anniversary with Ryan 4 days prior.
Richard was a Marine who served our country for 18 years, before moving to New Bern, NC with his family in December 2021. He began a new job working at Cherry Point as a C-130 aircraft mechanic crew lead. They just bought their dream home in December 2022. They settled into their new home last month and Joe started a new high school.
Ryan was our “Unicorn” and a perfect addition to our Pulmonary Family. She provides the care and understanding to her patients, that everyone would want for themselves and their family members. Any patient would be blessed to have her take care of them! Now, it's our turn to take care of her and her son Joe. We've created this GoFundMe to help with the expenses Ryan is encountering. She will have many expected and unexpected expenses as a mother raising a teenage son alone. She has a mortgage that will now be paid with one salary, instead of the 2 salaries as initially planned.
Please make a donation to Ryan and Joe, in Memory of a loving Husband and Father, Richard Meadows. Thank you for taking the time to read his story. Any donation is greatly appreciated! Please share this GoFundMe on your page!
