To Ryan's family, friends and Ginger,
I was so shocked to hear of the accident last week. Ryan was our next door neighbor. I did not know of the accident until today. There were often several days in a row when I would see Ryan because of our crazy schedules, so I really didn't think anything was wrong when I'd not seen his truck parked out front. My heart goes out to all of Ryan's loved ones. He was a REALLY good guy! My twin daughters thought the world of him as he'd play soccer in our front yards with him and he'd laugh at their silly antics + put up with their never ending list of questions. May you rest in peace, young Ryan.

Life is always measured by age rather than the experiences we've had, the people we've met and touched, the memories made, and the people we have and will continue to inspire. He may have been young but he lived more than some people would have in a "full life” RIP Ryan.
