Ryan Carter sadly passed away on the 27th July. For his funeral we would like people to donate to a charity he had dedicated much of his life to instead of flowers. In the past he had worked with Autism Hampshire which is a cause he cared about dearly. 

Autism Hampshire (Charity Reg No: 288141) works to deliver a better future for people on the autistic spectrum by creating opportunities, challenging perceptions and enhancing choices. This charity provides a range of services, including autism focused training, domiciliary care, supported living services, mentoring and a community access team. While Ryan supported many causes during his life, Autism Hampshire had a special place in his heart due to the years he spent working to help improve the lives of people on the autistic spectrum.

Everyone is so proud of Ryan's accomplishments and has made such a big impact on the world. The loss of Ryan will leave a big whole in this world which we must all unite to try continue his legacy, following his dreams and aspirations.  Whether you knew Ryan well or had only met him once, it is certain his enthusiasm for what he cared about affected you in some way or another. 

Funeral 

The funeral will be on the 22nd August at Test Valley Crematorium, Ridge Ln, Romsey SO51 6AB at 4PM. 

We would like friends and family to bring along nice photos they would like to contribute to a photo album. 

Dress code for the funeral will not be traditional, as you would expect for Ryan. We ask if everyone can wear smart casual clothing with something black and red appose to the traditional black suit. If you have a band shirt feel free to wear that as it is what he would have wanted.
