Ride 4

This is the speech that I shared at Charlie’s memorial service:

In 2018, our oldest son Matt, took his life.

Tanner Ray French left those who love him so on February 21, 2011 at the age of 19….

Matt was a gregarious fun loving 28 year old that was always the life of the party.

My wife Lezlie Culver passed by suicide on July 10, 2021.

I ride for Sean Thornton, the son of my cousin Joe…

My dad Gary was only 38 years old when he died by suicide…

I ride to normalize talking about mental health.

It’s incredible how often we hear about fatal victims of suicide & depression…
