Dear Jasanne and family, Ryan was special to me and to so many others. I think of him often, wonder how you are doing, and can't believe it has been eight years. My best to you and yours.

I still think about Ryan and see him sitting in my desk chair waiting for his program to clean up my computer. What a fine and personable young man he was. Dear Jasanne, though the pain of losing him will be with you forever, I hope it will continue to ease with the passage of time and the love in which you hold his memory.

Ryan,I will miss you. You always helped me with my computer problems at the drop of a whistle. You were so talented and easy to talk to and always pleasant. You will be very missed. To the Mechaw family, you had a very talented, wonderful son, indeed. I was heartbroken to learn of his passing. Ryan was the most polite, respectful young man I have dealt with. What a whiz he was with computers! So very sorry for your loss. Liz Root/Burnam - Lake Worth, FL

My hear breaks for Ryan's family and his LARGE group of friends (country boys and bikers). Ryan practically lived here at my house along with some of the others that hang out. He has such a kind, gentle demeanor and an infectious smile. His eyes always glistened with laughter. He was always polite and always so willing to help me and my son, Hunter anytime there were technical issues with computers. Ryan will be missed so very much. My sympathy and condolences go out to his family. You will be dearly, dearly missed my son. May you rest in peace. You were and still are loved by so, so many. ~Britt Holm~ (mother of Hunter Kuhn)

I didn't know ryan but, I was stuck in traffic on I95 that day and saw the accident scene. Once I found out a young 21 year old gentlemen had passed away in that accident I've since been thinking about him and the ones hes left behind. May he watch over you as you all watch under him.. R.I.P Ryan

I was there the day he was born, 21 years ago and watched him grow into a compassionate, thoughtful and caring young man. Ryan was delightful to be around! He had a certain something about him, a charm, a charisma, a rare quality that is missing in many of today's youth. He made you feel good when you were around him. He was ageless and timeless and it did not matter if you were 10 or 80, his sweet personality drew you in. My sorrow for the Mechaw and Zahn families is deep. Grandparents and parents should not have to be at their child and grandchild's funeral. Sorry I cannot attend the service. The Slattery family sends their deepest sympathy. God bless.
