The Family of Ryan Buck

Last week, Ryan Hillary Buck passed away unexpectedly. She leaves behind her living husband Ephraim, 5 children: Alexis, who just had her own child a few days before Ryan's passing, Ella, 11 yrs old, Emma, 10 yrs old, Evie, 8 years old and Emory, 6 years old.

Ryan has always worked in the service of others, from lifeguarding to career in the health field doing everything from exec assistiant, to her most treasured time working in Labor and Delivery.

Ryan has gotten the short stick in life when it came to health, starting from when she was in the hospital for 6 months before she turned one, to having chronic kidney issues leading to the removal of one 5 years ago. She had several conditions that caused her to be in chronic pain for the last few years. She has been in and out of the hospital for the last couple months for infections in her only remaining kidney and was last released with optimistic results a week before unexpectedly passing in her sleep. While we will miss her dearly and feel that she was taken too early, I have the silver lining that at least she is no longer in that constant struggle.
