Our Story

The Ryan Lambert Memorial Foundation was started to honor Ryan Andrew Lambert. The foundation was created with the intention to raise awareness for Suicide Prevention, Mental Health , Vietnam Veterans chapters and foundations and other veteran/military support organizations. This is some of Ryan’s story… Ryan was always known as the happy, goofy, outgoing person whose smile would light up a room.  He had a kindness about him that led him to help  others as often as he could. He had a love for adventure. You could always find him on the waves or riding anything with two wheels. He valued his time with family and friends with a fierce love and loyalty. Some people’s struggles are not visible. This is why raising awareness is so important. Ryan quietly struggled with mental health most of his life and tragically lost his battle on March 5, 2023 at 21 years young. Our main benefactor and partner is American Foundation for Suicide Prevention ( AFSP). As stated, we also support a variety of Veterans support organizations to reflect the strong respect and admiration that Ryan had for his grandfather’s service in Vietnam. Help us keep Ryan’s memory alive while helping others and raising awareness.
