Help the McCarty Family Honor Brantley's Memory

In the blink of an eye the lives of the McCarty family have forever changed. On Tuesday, August 27, Brantley Ryan McCarty, 14, was in a terrible accident and pronounced dead on the scene. All of us are in shock and heartbroken. As Brooke so eloquently put it, "There are no words that can even compare to what Brantley gave all of us and this world in the short time he was here. Ask anyone that met him even once."

This is something no parent, or family, should ever have to experience and navigate, so we are raising funds for our dear friends to help ease any additional burden for Brooke, Ryan, and their family as they navigate this new normal. Anything remaining after expenses will be put towards a memorial to honor Brantley.

My name is Stacey Simonett and I am a close friend of the family and Ayvah McCarty, sister to Brantley, is helping with the go fund me and memorial fund.
