We are so sad to hear the loss of Ryan-we have fond memories of Aunt Ruth's 90th birthday in Branson, MO-which he attended and showered his love on his grandma and the rest of the family. He will be missed by many. Art/Barb Brownlie, Tucson, AZ

I am so sad by your passing. I will always remember the great times we had as neighbors in Lee's Summit, the phone calls that would last for hours and the time you and Gary surprised me for my birthday in Las Vegas. I love you and I will miss you dearly. See you on the other side, keep the drinks cold till then.

Although I had not seen Ryan in many years, I have some wonderful memories of the time we spent together in beauty school and after we graduated. He was a good friend and always lots of fun. His fun gentle soul will be missed.

It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles.
Your in our thoughts and prayers.

To all of Ryan's family~I wish to express my deepest sympathy as you struggle with his untimely death. Ryan was a joy in his younger days as a bus rider on my bus many years ago. He was so caring and not the least bit inhibited! I know you will forever hold his love and memory in your hearts. May God bless and keep you during these sorrowful days.
