Upholding John's Legacy: Supporting His Family

“I heard the news. What can I do?? How can I help??”

We (John’s team) are speechless at the outpouring of support.

We will be focusing all efforts on taking care of (John’s bride) Lindsay and their four daughters (Reagan, Blakely, Saylor, & Layton – age 4 to 13).

As our friend, brother, mentor, and leader often said: “Take care of the inner circle and the rest will work itself out.”

For other ways to help John's family (and there are many), please visit our live update page -- this is also where service & celebration announcements will occur.

(It is likely that all of John Ruhlin's social media platforms will be locked, and therefore we won't be able to update there)

Funeral preparation.

We would like to relieve the family from the logistics of John’s sudden passing.

If you are in the St. Louis area and have either (1) connections or (2) willingness to help, be boots on the ground, etc – your help would be very much appreciated.

Please email Kami Schiller – kami(AT)ruhlingroup.com – who will be working (remotely) with Rod & the family.

NOTE: all information regarding services will be posted on the live website as it becomes available.

Financial contribution.

John Ruhlin was a successful businessman.

That said, we recognize that many feel solace in moments of financial contribution.

If you are called to do so, monies collected (less any GoFundMe fees) will be used to help us support John's family.

We believe the best way to love John’s family is not the next 12-24 months. But the next 12-24 years as his girls grow, mature, and ask questions about their father.

Our team is committed to uphold the values and legacy of our founder.

We are committed to financially support Lindsay and their daughters into adulthood.

We are GIFTOLOGY’s #1 fans – and we are committed to our clients, friends, and the generosity movement.

We believe the best way to “play the long-game” in this tragic situation is to build a company John would be proud of.

Friends, thank you.

Thank you for supporting one another, for loving the Ruhlin family, and your desire to help.

Being loved by John Ruhlin was a profoundly extraordinary gift.

His light continues to shine within us, guiding us on this side of eternity.
