Kansas City Young Democrats,

Today is a somber morning. Our dear friend, Ryland Lundy, passed away shortly before 5AM this morning. Ryland was at peace and in no pain. He was surrounded by friends who were always his family. We've lost a leader, an activist, and a friend. We're all very sad. We all feel loss. I wish Ryland were still here. I'd also like to thank Ryland's best friend, Jenny - she stayed with him the whole time. If there is more news to share - this page will share.

In the meantime, please consider contributing to the campaign linked below. While we share the sorrow of the loss of a dear friend, let's also lift the burden from Ryland's family so that they can mourn.

Rest in peace friend.
