 RIP: Ryan August of "I Want Your Skull"
tragic.... A father...and such a great site..... relieved that his son is ok. http://www.iwantyourskull.com/On Saturday, July 11th… my husband, Ryan August, and our son Declan were in a car accident on their way home from Atlanta. They were driving through a storm when Ryan’s car left the road and struck a tree. Declan, secured in his car seat, made it through with minor cuts and bruises. Ryan died on impact. Ryan was a wonderful husband and the most devoted father I have ever seen. I cannot not begin to imagine our lives without him…. I know that he has many friends out there and I wanted to let everyone know what happened. Right now there is so much to deal with that I am struggling to keep it all moving…. but when I can I will set to honoring his commitments involving I Want Your Skull and its related blog. Right now I am focused on our son and trying to understand the unfathomable.

Couldn't imagine being a child and having to witness your father die right next to you. Very sad indeed.

 Re: RIP: Ryan August of "I Want Your Skull"
That is just terrible. I'm guessing it's still too soon to know if there is a fund set up?

There's a facebook group that has links to various auctions that benefit Sarah and Declan: http://www.facebook.com/sarah.wooten?ref=search#!/rememberingryanaugust?ref=mfRyan's accident happened the day after my Mother passed away and a few days before a good friend of mine lost his daughter to cancer. July has been a rough month.
