I first met Ryan on opposite sides of the volleyball court both indoor 6 man and outdoor doubles. He would always win. We then got adopted by a group of Mooresville folks and went annually for the "Boys at the Beach" weekend for countless years where we would bike, swim, play surf frisbee, and culminate with heated matches of beach bocce. Again, he always won. Great man, great friend, I will miss him, his joy of life and our friendship. Miss ya Crib!

We have shared many Jazz Fest (and non-Jazz Fest) times with Ryan down here in New Orleans. He had an uncanny way of finding us in the middle of a huge crowd at what used to be the Acura Stage. He loved the food , music and folks down here . We will miss him.

I knew Ryan through vollball and was a member of his men's team (Great Sax) and played many, many doubles matches against him and once in while, with him. I'll always remember his laugh, his competitiveness, and his humor. He will be sorely missed by us all. RIP, Ryan.

I knew Ryan since 7th grade, a very cool guy, always positive and funny. God bless his soul.

I became friends with Ryan during high school at Needham Broughton in Raleigh, NC. our sophomore year. We remained friends throughout the years, after college, after personal losses, & major life changes. Ryan was always there for me. His laugh was enough to cheer anyone up, and it was infectious, not to be outdone by his generosity. I will miss him dearly. - Clevie Evans-

I first met Ryan back in the summer of 2020. He was one of the core volunteers at CORA. He was always willing to help and during the early days of the pandemic, I honestly would not have been able to accomplish all that was needed at CORA without his help. I will miss his smile, kindness, and his gentle manner.

Ryan was a wonderful and dedicated volunteer at CORA. We will miss his beautiful smile that lighted up the room and his generous soul always willing to lend a helping hand.
