Help Catherine & Young Family Navigate Life at Time of Loss.

As many of you know, this past Friday, August 9th, 2024 we laid to rest an amazingly bright, thoughtful, loving and courageous husband, father & friend, Austin Brian Ricketts. Austin was my nephew-in-law. He was 41 years old when he succumbed to a rare and incurable cancer. Many who attended the funeral asked in what way they could help this beautiful, young family - wife, Catherine; sons, Torrance (5 yrs old) and Oliver (3 yrs old), and 3-week old, Evangeline. I happened to speak to a business associate who I shared our family loss with and he imediately asked if there was a Go Fund Me page that his company could contribute to. It was in this moment that I was moved to set up this page as the challenges of a single mom with three young children is hard for me to fathom. I know Catherine’s inner strength & faith will guide her through this painful loss but I need to do more than just being there for her and the children. Your support and generosity at this time is appreciated beyond words. Thank you for taking the time to read about my fundraiser. Even if you aren’t able to donate right now, I’d really appreciate if you took a moment to share my fundraiser with your friends and family. If you are a friend of a friend of a friend providing support, I invite you to please read the attached obituary to know this wonderful man, Austin Brian Ricketts. ❤️
