On March 26, the world lost one of the brightest, goofiest, loudest, and most loving lights. Ryan Howard Staley passed away unexpectedly, leaving a hole in the hearts of many including his pregnant wife, Aubry, their son, Braxton, and countless family members and friends. The disbelief and waves of numbness and utter sorrow are overwhelming as we grieve this tremendous heartache.

We started this page after receiving many requests for ways to support Ryan’s young family. In addition to the drive linked below, many have also asked us to provide a way to financially support Aubry, Braxton and Baby Tucker. We’ve helped Aubry set up a direct bank account for these generous donations, and are in the process of connecting this account to as many money transfer services possible. As of today, here’s what we have set up. We will update this page as anything more becomes available.

Freezable meals and/or gift card drive: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/10C0C4BAFA928A5F4C25-staley

Venmo: @TheStaleys (Aubry Staley)

Paypal send to friend: deactivated due to continued fraudulent activity and hacking

Zelle: not yet active with Arizona Federal Credit Union, but will update if an option with this app becomes available; snail mail or giving directly to family members who can get your donation to Aubry may also be an option.

After many requests, we have also started a GoFundMe page in honor of Ryan and his family:

At this time Aubry, Braxton and our families are still too devastated to talk about this. The texts and calls do help, and we appreciate them! Just please understand if we don’t respond. We are reading your kind words and we appreciate your patience as we all take time to grieve privately. We are doing all we can to help Aubry stay as steady, calm and strong as possible - their second child, Tucker, made his entrance into the world on April 12 and has quickly become a breastfeeding champ. While newborns are without a doubt more than a handful, Tucker is perfect in every way, and Braxton is loving being a big brother. We all love and miss Ryan terribly, and things will not be the same without the life of the party, and that incredible laugh that he was known for. Thank you for your much needed prayers and support. 🙏 💔

Please join us for Ryan's Celebration of Life at 2 p.m. on June 5th at Rio Vista Park inside the Recreation Center. It is located at 8866 W Thunderbird Rd. Ryan's cousin, Crystal, has set up a Facebook group to collect photos for a sideshow and for those who wish to share memories.
