Although I didn't see Ryan and the Kelly family often, I think of them everyday. I do consider all of the Kelly's to be a part of my family. I cherish them all. It has been a pleasure to have known Ryan. I will always love him and think of him everyday. I am truly sorry I could not attend the services due to my own illnesses. R.I.P. Ryan. And my prayers are with all the family and friends. So sorry for everyone's loss. Ryan you will be deeply missed by many people.

To the little boy I'd often meet, who'd lay on the couch playing with his feet; To the young man I'd call by a different name, it went on and on as his voice had changed: To the grown man who had so many moves, now teaching the angels how to really groove. As our lives go on in this land, You are celebrating a new life that is mucho Grande. Our hearts hurt with sadness for those left behind, and will have the memories of you that flood through our minds. Love you and will miss you tons.

I had only met Ryan 2-3 times but this has really upset me. I have a younger brother myself and can't imagine the pain you are feeling. My heart is with the Kelly family at this time and aways. Ryan was a good guy and definitely didn't deserve this. Rest easy Ryan.

It never will be alright to bury a child, wether they be 1 or 21. God has taken another lovely soul way too soon. I only meet Ryan twice, once when he was a baby, and once just a few short months ago. I can tell you Ryan was a happy baby that grew into a happy man. He was full of laughter and his love shone through in his eyes. I know this loss for his family and friends will be tremendous. I know his dash will live on in the hearts of everyone that has know him. God Bless you Cathy, I love you my dear friend, and I am so very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Ryan was a great friend to my son. Chris is very upset that he can't leave Korea to pay his respects and give his condolences to your family but you're all in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in knowing that others were so blessed by knowing Ryan. We'll treasure that last party we had together Kelly "no sleep till Korea" was a great memory until next time
