Ryan Lahti, a beloved father, brother, cousin, boyfriend, and friend to many, has tragically passed away. The unexpected loss of Ryan has left his family and friends in profound grief. His aunt, Ashley Lahti, has organized a fundraiser to cover the costs of his cremation, aiming to raise $3,600 due to the high expenses and the urgency of the process.
Ryan was known for his kindness and willingness to help others, as reflected in the heartfelt messages shared by those who knew him. Faith Carlson expressed her deep sorrow on Facebook, writing, "I have no words knowing I don’t have you to count on when I need help, knowing you’re gone breaks my heart. You have done more for me than most, and I don’t say that a lot. You were like a brother to me, and I would not change that for the world. I’m going to miss you, Ryan Lahti. Fly high, brother. I’m so sorry it had to be this way."
The fundraiser, organized by Ashley Lahti, has raised $1,033 out of the $3,600 goal with 14 donations so far. The funds are intended to cover the transport of Ryan’s body, the cremation process, and an urn for his remains. Ashley mentioned that they had to raise the goal due to the severity of his body’s condition and the lack of payment plans offered by more affordable cremation services. The urgency of the situation has added to the family’s distress.
Friends and family continue to share their condolences and support on social media. Azarya Martin commented, "Omg, what happened? I’m so sorry for your guys’ loss," while Kelly Marie added, "I am so sorry. My condolences and prayers are with you and the family. If you need me or anything, let me know I’m here."
The community is rallying around the Lahti family during this difficult time, showing the strength of their connections and the impact Ryan had on their lives. A celebration of life for Ryan will be announced once the cremation process is completed, providing an opportunity for loved ones to gather and honor his memory.
