    tragic.... A father...and such a great site..... relieved that his son is ok.

    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.

    That is just terrible. I'm guessing it's still too soon to know if there is a fund set up?

    Seriously, so incredibly tragic. I didn't know him personally but always enjoyed his views and he was dedicated to the art community. A terrible loss.

    There's a facebook group that has links to various auctions that benefit Sarah and Declan:

    Ryan'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.
