It is with a Sad and heavy heart:

I know not everyone knows Ryan Whistles Allen from the group, but I just saw that he passed away early this morning from a car accident. He was in this group for a long time and always added so much. Prayers for his family and friends.

Ryan was an amazing photographer, friend and teacher. In the short three years I knew him he taught me so much about life, photography and how to be a leader. He will be missed dearly. Take this time to appreciate those around you, hug your families a little bit tighter tonight, and keep Ryan's family in your prayers and thoughts!

That is so sad

Thanks for letting us know, GPR.

Rest well, Whistles. You're in God's Hands, now.

He was a really nice guy. I met him once when he came in to V4L. That is so sad, and he was too young.
