I'm on a mobile right now but somebody just sent me a message that Ryan Anthony died. Condolences to his family and friends and music colleagues. When I get to my computer I'll post the message Ihat was put on his Cancer Blows page.

It is with great sadness that we announce that Ryan Anthony, our beloved father, son, husband, brother and inspiration, passed away this morning, June 23rd, at the age of 51.
We are blessed that so many of you have traveled this long and difficult journey with us. Your prayers and support lifted all of us, but especially Ryan, and inspired him to continue to fight every day.
Please keep his family in your prayers. Ryan leaves behind two children, Elizabeth (Lili) and Rowan; his wife, Niki; mother Ruby Styler and step-father, Stan Styler; father, Roy Anthony and step-mother, Cathi Anthony and his brother and sister-in-law, R.B. and Shannon Anthony along with many other extended family, adopted family, dear friends and “brothers”.
We do not have service information at this time but, due to COVID restrictions, it will be a small service. Later, when we’re able to safely gather again and make music we will properly honor his memory together.
In lieu of flowers, Ryan asked that donations be made to CancerBlows and The Ryan Anthony Foundation.
