Rippe Children Education Fund

This past weekend we lost my brother in a tragic car accident. He leaves behind his wife of 11 years, Stephanie and three little kids: Annabeth (9), Avery (6), and Rhys (4). Ryan was gentle, kind, and the best father around. Losing him has been a shock and the most challenging thing our family has faced. The kids adore their daddy, and it's tough for us to imagine their lives without him. Their mother, Stephanie, is a hard-working 1st grade teacher who will give her kids the world despite losing her beloved husband. We want to offer support by establishing a college fund for the children. A savings account titled "Rippe Children Education Fund" has been set up at First Trust and Savings Bank in Watseka, IL. Donations made here will be deposited into this account to help Annabeth, Avery, and Rhys continue their education.

We truly appreciate your care, concern and support. Thank you.
