Ryan "Bubba" Rhinesmith & Melissa Kurth

I've known Ryan since we were young kids running around Montville. We always had a close bond and he was like a little brother to me. That is why I felt compelled to start this fund. Ryan was always there for all his friends and family, and I would like to do the same for his family now.

Ryan was a true warrior. He overcame many difficult challenges in his life, including the loss of two older brothers. But through it all, his faith never wavered and his love for life and others continued to shine.

On November 3rd, Ryan was tragically taken from his family and friends in a fatal car accident. Ryan leaves behind the love of his life Melissa, his daughter Andrina, and the gift he always talked about, his son, Ricky. Ryan would glow while talking about his beautiful family. Anyone blessed enough to know Ryan knows that family was everything to him and he would do anything for them.

I'm asking for help to offset the funeral cost and to help Melissa with upcoming financial burdens including childcare for Ricky who will be 2 years old in February. God bless anyone willing to help in any way.
