Ay bro.. this can't be real. Every time I ran into this dude he shook my hand and said what's up with the most hospitality. I ran into him two weeks ago at thera leaf and he walked back in the door to say wassup to me man... What a loss... RIP Rory. You will be missed brother. But not forgotten

This hits so close to home, and truly shakes to the core. I can't even fathom the degree of loss the family must feel over something that should have otherwise been Rory's proudest moment. To be so young and have a life you've worked so hard for to be taken away so mercilessly...my deepest condolences to the family; my heart goes out to you. You will all be in my prayers. May God help keep you strong.

November 19, 2012
damn it rory, i miss you. it had been far too long since i had last seen you... and i wish now more than ever that we hadn't lost touch. i was always so enamored by you. not in a relationship-loving kind of way, just by the huge impact you had on everyone around you. i don't think you realized the effect you had on people. it was beautiful, and pretty rare. every picture i've seen on facebook the past few days has reminded me: always you, front and center. center of attention, with a presence that was definitely known to anyone and everyone close to you. words cannot express the sadness i felt when i first heard this devastating news. i miss you! stay up uncle ro, can't wait til we are reunited up there man. much love <3

I know we weren't terribly close, but whenever we crossed paths you always made me smile and laugh. And I know you did the same for everyone else. We will always remember that.
