announcing a fundraiser event for the Bennetts on October 8. Before the incident, Ackels was all set to celebrate 25 years of his cycle shop on the same day.
If he liked bike night, then he needs to be on that memorial
while referring to the memorial that honored late motorcyclists. The business owner was moved after learning about Wayden's love for bikes.
After the SUV driver hit Wayden and his friend, the police searched for the driver and eventually found her. Per the authorities, a 45-year-old Ohio woman named Hope Ann Richmond was charged with leaving the accident scene after causing death and injury.
Meanwhile, Chantel and Ronald prepared for their baby's funeral ― something they had never imagined doing. Chantel kept writing heart-wrenching Facebook posts to express her feelings. She said:
"I'm trying so hard to be strong for your brother and sisters, but inside I just want to lay down with your horsey and stinky jersey and close my eyes."
The devastated mother asked her friends on Facebook to help her find funeral dresses for herself and her daughters. She also posted a link to her baby's obituary and revealed that the funeral was open to the public. She said:
"As I get ready to head to the funeral home, my chest feels so heavy."
To keep little Wayden's memories alive, his family invited people to join them on October 22 at an event named "Wayden's Ride," where they planned to host a silent auction beside riding bikes.
With each passing day, Chantel misses her son even more. She keeps writing heartbreaking posts on her Facebook profile, trying her best to be strong for her other children.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Wayden's family and friends as they mourn his death. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Bennett family and pray that Wayden's soul rests in peace.
