Thinking about you today Ry, and my heart aches longing for you. Recently a friend of mine, Clay, passed away. He was only 25. You may be with him now, maybe even sharing stories about your life journeys. However, another wave of losing you has swept me, and I've been experiencing that heart-breaking feeling that you are no longer here to share this life with me. It is still hard to walk outside and think you are missing from the world, how the world can still turn and life go on without you being here. Its coming on 9 years but stamping a timeline on your absence is unfathomable. Crazy how the mind works to protect itself. Gina & me went to spring training for the 3rd year in a row now, couldn't help thinking how you've probably gone too- one thing you didn't get to do in the short amount of time you were given here. I think about you everyday, some days still harder than others. You never leave my mind or my heart. I am excited to be taking over as President for the scholarship fund, and am trying to think of ways to boost it's awareness & help keep your memory alive. I love you so very much Ry, can't help but hope I make you proud. I am always thinking about you, and will until that moment comes when I am with you again.

Ryan,
Today I remember you and how your smile could light up a room. How you and Uncle Jim would laugh yourselves silly while watching Friday & Friday After Next. And today, I wonder how you would look and what your life would be like. There will always be a hole in our hearts where you once were. It has taken time, but I find it easier now to think of you and talk about you with less sadness and instead remember all the happy and positive memories. I know that you are always with your family. We feel you in spirit and find comfort in knowing that we will all be together again someday. Missing you.

Hi Ryan. Sorry I havent been here before. Im glad I found it. I know you're probably keeping close eyes on Kelly but I thought I would let you know that she has blossomed into a beautiful young lady. You would be proud. Even though I havent seen her since December I can tell you that she never lost that wonderful smile she always had and her positive energy is impossible to ignore. Anyway, Love you man.

Ryan,
I cant believe that seven years have already passed.
We all still miss you so very much. The 10th of this month will be a Giants game to help fund your scholarship fund. Iam really looking forward to going, knowing you'll be there with us. I miss you always and love you forever.

Ryan,
I know you are always watching over all of us, I have been praying extra hard these last couple of days. I know everything is going to be fine. I just worry about some people more,so if you could call all the angels around to help I know they will be fine.
I love and miss you.

Hello Ry Ry
im sorry Ive been absent, I'll visit more often. Remember when you visited me in Arizona? I remember something I dont know what it was but something ticked you off and you had a tiz. Whats funny is when I sat near you on the sidewalk outside my house and acted along with you. I got you to forget about what it was you were crying about because you stopped and looked at me like I was crazy. You got up and went in the house to your mommy and forgot all about what a bummer deal you had. I loved being silly with you. I have fun memories of you...cleaning your bedroom together when you were about 7 yrs old...all the toys in the football toy chest...whew! Rest in peace Ry, I know youre comfortable because God is good craddling special souls. I miss you Ry Ry. Ry, you and your angels might want to get together and keep an eye on your mom and sis, non of us could know just how to send angel messages quite like you knowing how close you are.
I love you,
Aunt Shelly,

Ryan,
Today you would be 25 years old. It's still hard to think your not here. I have been thinking alot about you. I wish that I could do something to help Richard deal with the feelings that he has with you not being here. I did'nt really know what a hard time he is having until he was visiting me here at my house. I suggested that maybe he might want to write in your guestbook. I told him that it helps me when I am sad or even when Iam happy thinking of times with you. I know you are watching over him always. I JUST HOPE HE KNOWS THAT YOUR THERE. I miss you always.
love always

Hey Ryan,
Wow its almost been 6 years. I remember playing baseball like it was yesterday. The moment that I always remember was when we played at Lincoln. Charles got hurt so the had me pitch. It was like my first time that year and I had a lot a people I knew there. I struck out the first batter then after that ping ping ping. They keep hitting me. Bases were loaded if i remember correctly so I was nervous. The next batter drilled a line drive to left field. I looked and thought, you definitely wouldn't get it(cuz u were kinda slow). hahaha well u threw ur glove up and caught it. I never doubted you after that. I just wanted to let you know that I still think about you all the time. I cant go to the mall without thinking about you. Well just to let you know I have two beautiful boys of my own. Kenny Jr. will be 2 on June 21st, and Marcus will be one on July 28th. I am still with my High School sweetheart. You know who! Well miss you and will never forget you.

Hi Ry Ry,
We'll another year passes, another year everyone get's older. I think this includes you.....Man I imagine what kind of man you would be right now, what you would be doing and how successful you would be, or not. You are still missed greatly - you will forever be in all of our memories, thoughts, hearts and prayers. Happy 23rd Birthday my cousin!! I love and miss you more than you will ever know....

Another year without you. I can't believe it has been 4 years. I think about you all the time and wonder what you would be doing now. I imagine the handsome man you would have grown into. There is sadness in my heart over the unfinished dreams we all had for you. I know you would have done great things. Some how, we have continued on. I know you would have wanted us to. None of us are the same. We never will be. We hug each other a little tighter and are more grateful for every opportunity we have together. In a million years I never would have thought you would be taken from us so suddenly. That night will be forever etched in my memory. We miss your laughter and warm smile. Although there will be eternal sadness in our hearts, we can remember you now with warmth,laughter and happiness. It has taken a long time to get to that point. We all miss you very much Ry and you will forever live on in our lives and dreams. Thank you for letting me know in my dreams that you are OK. I believe with all my heart that you are and that someday we will all be together again.
With all my love,
Aunt Dina
P.S. Keep an eye on Kel, she needs you!

Dearest Ryan,
Today is year #3 that you have moved on to a greater life and I wanted to let you know that I still think of you constantly and you are always greatly missed. I love you Ryan. P.S. I'm finally having a baby! Weird - I know! Hugs & Kisses forever!

July 26, 2005
Ry:
Another year has come and gone without you here. I can't believe it has been two years since you left us. There is still shock and disbelief in our hearts that you aren't here with us.
I miss the times you would come over and stay the night with us. You and Uncle Jim would stay up late playing Playstation and watching movies. In the morning, I would always cook breakfast for you guys and as you would leave you would always say "Thanks, Aunt Dina! You make the best breakfast!"
Memories like this will keep you alive in my heart forever.
You would be so proud of the beautiful young woman that Kelly has become. Her beautiful smile and sense of humor remind me of you in a lot of ways.
Your Mom continues to amaze me with her inner strength and courage. The night she got up and gave the scholarship away in your name, I knew you were there with her helping her through.
Kyle started playing little league this year and he talked about you all the time. He hoped he was making you proud. I'm sure you were there smiling down on him.
Until the time when God allows us to all be together again forever, you will always be in my heart.
Love & Miss You,
Aunt Dina

Ryan,
I can't believe that it's been over a year. When I find myself getting really sad, I just think of the wonderful memories I have of you. Your cute litte baby face. The day you were born, your first day of daycare with me and Patty. The days you were over at Deb's and would come in and give me hug and kiss. I love and miss you.
Love Mickey

April 22, 2004
Ry, I just went in and signed Joey's guestbook. I know in my heart that you two are together, hopfully cruisin' around in Joeys Ferrari. I hope he lets you drive since you never really got the change to drive down here. The racetrack has closed down in Vallejo, that makes it easier for me to know that they are not racin' without you. Rusty won the last NASCAR race, we all cheered & cried. I am leaving next week for Fontana, the first of 2 races you were to go with us to. I will think of you every minute I am there. It will be stranger to not shop till I drop buying you stuff I know you would like.
Aunt Dina and I have started a non-profit corporation in your name. "Ryan Andrew Keltner Scholarship Fund" you even have your own website. Ryankeltner.org. We will never let anyone forget you and the joy you brought into all our lives. I will never be the same without you, I perceive life in a totally different way. How that is I have not figured out yet.
Know that I love you forever and we will be together again.
love mom

Dear Ryan,
Yesterday we said goodbye to our Joey. It was so very hard. It gave us some comfort to know that the two of you are now watching over all of us. I saw your mommy and Kelly. I gave them hugs. I know it is still so very hard for all of us. I still can't believe that two of the babys that I was blessed to have in my life, are in heaven as two of the finest young men I will ever know. I love you always.
Love Mickey

Ryan Andrew,
I..... miss you so very much. I am so sorry what has happend, I blame myself everyday for not taking care of my child when he needed me most. Kelly & I struggle every day,we talk of you all the time & remember the funny things you would do. Like the Billy Bob teeth when we are out someplace. You are a crackup! You could make me laugh so hard. I will never enjoy life again as I did with you here. I will not give you up & let go to heal as they say to do. letting you go is not an acceptable option. You are forever with me no matter where I go or what I do. I love you Ry, so very very much. Love mom

Ry, Thanksgiving has come & gone, No big dinner & celebration, nothing to be thankful for this year. I painted the living room, just another day without you here. I wrote you this poem over several days a while ago, thought it was time to share it with you. RYAN ANDREW We had plans, Places to go, time together that we will never know. I dont know why you left without me, why you had to go. That night in July, you were swept away, so quickly and quietly, gone forever today. I am here and you are not, How does that happen? Who makes that choice? A young mans life, so much to still do. Missing from us, from the years that will never be. The tears flow daily, I talk to you, I write to you, asking when will you return? I would gladly take your place, let you live your life, get married, have my grandchildren, grow old with your wife. My only son, I miss you so. My heart is broken. Never to know what you were to become, How you would grow. Someday we will be together again, wait for me, bring me into the light. You are forever 18, for the rest of my life. LOVE YOU HANDSOME, MOM

Ryan Andrew, Everyday that passes brings more pain & tears. I look at your pictures and do not believe that you are gone from us. I want so much for you to come home & hug me & tell me this was just the worst nighmare I ever have had. I am so afraid that you are scared & need me, I would be with you in an instant if I knew I could. Please always know that I am here, waiting for you to come home. Love you forever & always. Mom

I was really thinking alot about you yesterday. I was shopping at a discount store just looking. I wasDigging around in some stuffed animals looking for a curious george monkey. guess what I pulled from the back? It was a snuffy. I just held him and smiled. I thought about getting him, I dont know why I did'nt. Iam sorry now that I left him there. I know your watching over all of us. I talked to your dad on your birthday, I just wish I could do something to ease the pain in his heart. I did tell him what a wonderful job he did in making you the person you became. I am thinking of you. Love Mickey

Ryan:
Yesterday was your 19th birthday. Your Mom & I decided it was a day to be happy and remember you in a positive way. I know you were laughing at your Mom & I as we were "attempting" to make home-made candles! When we let your balloons go, your Mom was so excited when they went so high so fast! I was glad I got to share your special day with her and with Kelly, Carly, Kimberly & Kyle.
Kyle kept telling everyone that it was his cousin's 19th birthday. He doesn't quite understand where you are or what happened, but he does miss you. He talks about you often.
I'm not quite sure how your Mom & Dad make it through each day with the amount of pain they are going through. They loved you so much and the days without you are unbearable for them.
Uncle Jim is so sad without you, buddy. He hasn't been able to go fishing without you and you know how much he loved to fish. He has such a hole in his heart without you here.
We all miss you so much, Ry. We never imagined you wouldn't be here and wouldn't be a part of our lives.
Until the time we can all be together again, we will keep you in our hearts forever.
Loving you always buddy!

My Handsome Ryan Andrew,
Tomorrow is your 19th birthday, the first of your birthdays we will be uanble to kiss & hug you. I really dont know what tomorrow will bring for us, but I do know that this day is one of the happiest days of my life. Even as painful as it was to bring you into this world that day 19 years ago I do not regret a moment. I will always celebrate this day, it is not a sad one for me, but a day of thanks for God giving you to us to enjoy. Even if for only a shorter time than we all anticipated. I miss you every moment of every day, I have an actual pain inside me that I cannot describe. I have resolved myself to the knowledge that I will shed tears everyday for the rest of my life. Happy Birthday my child, I will celebrate your birth as if you are sitting besides me & celebrating also.
I love you Ryan & await the day we can be together again.

My Dearest Son Ryan,
Today is Oct. 9th 2003
Saturday the 11th is your 19th Bday,
and we wont have you here with us.
I am relying on my faith to help me get thru this day without you here with me as well as all those who love and miss you dearly.We are planning to visit the cemetary on Saturday with your B-day cake Son,it is where I feel I need to be.
Ryan Andrew, my best friend in the whole wide world!,the one person I could always confide in no matter if I was right or wrong, you would always listen to what I had to say. Only God knows how much pain I am feeling here without my best friend with me,you were and will always be more than just my Son,best friend, but also like a little brother with the times we shared living alone.We played ball,did your school work,and wrestled and joked around, no matter what else was going on, we at least had each other to love and lean on! Thank you so much Son, for being my little rock,my sanctuary, and giving my life some importance and meaning during those difficult times.I will forever be gratefull for your love, support, and understanding during those difficult times.Your passing has left me with unbearable pain that seems to increase daily,and will never go away till the day I see you once again in the house of the Lord.
At times I wish I could be with you now my Son, but I must wait till the Lord calls me to him and you. Ryan,I miss you so so very much BUDDY!!! #21 FOR LIFE
Love you my Son

Ryan,
I can't stop thinking about the time right before you were born. When your mom and dad wanted you to get here! I was really getting excited too. We were all tring to do things to help your mom go into labor. We even started to take your mom and mouzer(our dog) out on walks around the the block hoping that would do the trick. I am not sure if that was what did the trick or not. I do remember when your mom called me at work to say it was time it was around 12:30 - 1:00 PM I could'nt wait to get off work, I didnt want to miss the being there. Everyone said dont worry it will be a while, just relax. Well as soon as I got off work I went to the hospital. I waited and waited and waited. GRANDPA Mike came after he got off work. We waited and waited. Grandpa fell asleep in the chair in the waiting room. Then your DAD came in and told us you were here!
I remember he could'nt wait to show us, you in the nursery. We went over to the window where you were, your DAD proudly showed us he was a proud FATHER of a BOY! I remember how cute you were. The ladies at work were right about having time that it would be awhile, but it was worth evey miniute I waited, you were he first baby I waited for at the hosptal until they were born. I think of you alot and remember little things that make me smile. They also make me sad. I remember the first time I saw you and the last time I saw ( thinking what a polite goodlooking young man you had grown into) Your Dad should be very proud of you, and the job he did in teaching,and showing you how to be the person you grew into.
I will always miss you.
love Me

Ry-ry, I still miss you so much. When mom asks me what do I miss about you I tell her 'drill jaws' wrestling, watching TV w/ you in your room and Vallejo. Remember our secret about the snacks when you were watching me? I told mommy and daddy and they laughed! Do you see me come to visit? Did you like the letter, dounut and Richard Petty car I left for you? I give daddy big hugs every day and tell him we'll be alright. I told mommy & daddy about my dream of you; and you came and kissed me and gave me a hug. X's and O's, always your little 'c'.
P.S. Snuffy says hi.

Hi Ry, its Mom.
I miss you Handsome, I truely know that you were & still are the love of my life. I was meant to have you, even if for only a short time. I was looking forward to going to Hawaii with you in February for the Probowl (finally) & the NASCAR races next year @ Fontana. We had so many plans....I want to believe that you are safe and that you know I am always thinking of you. Happy memories sometimes, Sometimes crying wondering why you were taken from us. I look forward to the day that we will be together again, I am not afraid, I know you will be there waiting. What I am afraid of is spending the rest of my life without you here, with us. You always made me want to be a better person & make a better life for myself, you made me feel like I deserved it, you always told me so. You were my motivation, you have a way of showing love & friendship to people without even trying. Heaven is lucky to have you, we have experienced a great loss. Something we will never recover from. I am trying real hard to take care of Kelly, she misses you so much. You, her big brother, she has known all her life & without you she is lost.
I love you & miss you, my only son who will forever be 18.

Dear Ryan,
It has been a month now and the longest month in your families lives, they all miss you deeply and it breaks my heart whenever I see them. The last time I saw you, you and Grandpa Bob took Matthew fishing and taught him how to bait his own hook and remove the fish he caught, he will always treasure that time that he spent with you. We are going to the World of Outlaws this weekend in Calistoga like we did last year and it just won't be the same without you there telling me who everybody is and what their stats are, but I know that we will be able to feel your presence. We all miss you
Love Renee, Matthew & Sabrina Austin

Dearest Ryan,If tears could build a stairway,and memories a lane,we would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.You touched so many people in one way or another,I bet you were suprised at the number of people on the day that we celebrated your life. You are loving, kind and special. I know your heart must be breaking to see your family in so much pain,but hopefully in time there will be more smiles than tears as we remember all the memories. Tears can not build a stairway but memories, thank God we had you long enough to make memories. We will hold you in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers for always and a day. Kiss Grandpa Butch, Great Grandma Hattie, ann Uncle Tom for me.Good night Ryan, sweet dreams. With love ,hugs and kisses. Aunt Bonnie

Although I had never met Ryan, When I read the entries on the Guest Book, I wish I had met him, he must have been a wonderful person. When Barbara called me, I heard the deep sorrow in her voice, and it hurt me too. You are all in my prayers. I know the Lord will help you through this great loss.
