Rink was a graduate of Odessa HS and had the biggest heart. As a true cowboy he loved the rodeo, fishing, horseback riding and river rafting. He was a best friend to many.

Got to meet Ryan a few times when he came to Florida some years back. We had some great conversations. I was very sad to hear of his passing. He was a great guy!! I've included a picture of him at my house for my birthday cook out, he even brought his dog. My prayers are with all of his family and closest friends.
p.s. I have a few more pics I could send to the family if you would like. My email is [email protected]
