Following Jake‘s death in July 2020, John struggled with his mental health and his grief journey inspired him to help others facing trauma in their lives. He then created the non-profit organization Walking 4 Hope, which “supports families and young people who find it difficult to deal with the pressures that day to day life presents,” according to its website.
“What I do now keeps me alive daily, because I’ve made my peace with death,” John shared in the interview shared on Ryan‘s Twitter. “I’m gonna be reunited with him at some point but it damn right ain’t now.”
“The resilience it takes to put one foot in front of the other, as many times as you’ve done it, and transmute that much grief into something powerfully useful,” Ryan told John. “I’m very grateful that you shared his story.”
“I want to share with you that I too have a son,” he continued, “and if I love him 1/10th as much as you love Jake, I feel like I’ve done a pretty damn good job.”
Along with Olin, Ryan and Blake, 36, are also parents to daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4.
