Dear Lakemont Community,
On behalf of our entire team, we extend our most sincere condolences to all who knew and loved Ryan Akagbusi, a beloved student at McNeill Elementary and Lakemont resident. Ryan, who lost his life this past weekend in a heartbreaking accident in the Lakemont community, will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
In this time of sorrow, McNeill Elementary is inviting students, staff, and families to come together in a beautiful gesture of remembrance. On Friday, August 30, 2024, everyone is encouraged to wear yellow, Ryan's favorite color, to honor his memory. This simple act of unity will help celebrate the joy and light Ryan brought into the lives of all who knew him and show support for his family during this incredibly difficult time.
To Ryan's family, friends, and the entire Lakemont neighborhood, we recognize the weight of this loss and the deep grief that accompanies it. Our community stands with you, offering strength, compassion, and support as we navigate through this profound sadness together. We will continue to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
May you find solace in each other’s company and cherish the memories of Ryan by coming together in his memory. Join your community and honor his spirit by wearing yellow and keeping his family in your thoughts and prayers.
With deepest sympathy,
