I was Ryan's Physical Education teacher at Sill Middle School. I remember how he used to come to the gym and be excited to do his adapted P.E. He loved to work with Mr. DeRemer and he was always so upbeat and a pleasure to know. I wish his family and friends peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Words bring little comfort in a time when the deep pain of loss prevails, but Jesus is bigger than pain and loss, and I truly believe that He has the power to heal in His time and in His way. I am praying for your family, and I take comfort that Ryan knows complete healing now, and is walking beside Jesus in the Kingdom. He inspired me and countless others, and will never be forgotten.

It seems like yesterday that Ryan would come to his AP U.S. History class at Cuyahoga Falls High School. I looked forward to his wit and insight in the topics we discussed. Ryan was such an inspiration to me. He is with the Savior with a new body smiling all over from His Grace. Blessings to the family with His Peace and understanding.
