I just found out about your passing. This news was devastating to me.

I was going through Facebook photos and saw one of you with my oldest daughter when we were together. You were so full of life and a wonderful human being that we loved to be around. We looked forward to your visits from the island. I have often wondered about you since we last spoke, a year before you passed I guess. I loved you so much and I have wondered about you through out the years.
Rest in peace darling. You are greatly missed.
Xoxo,
Kesh

The last time we met we promised to stay more in touch. You were so happy and full of life. It's been 4 years and I just learned why you never replied. Whatever happened doesn't matter I guess, but it really hurts to know you left us. I always thought you were out there on a beach somewhere discovering the meaning of life. You are a dear friend and a great man, and I will never forget you my brother.

Words can not explain how sad it is to hear about Ryan. I met him 4 years ago and we we're friends ever since. He had the most amazing personailty unlike anyone I have ever met. He would light up any room and make everyone laugh. Im very lucky to have gotten to know him and will always have great happy memories of him.~

Ryan was one of those people who had a positive influence on everyone he met, including me. His contagious smile and generosity will always live on. We had some great times together including him taking me to my first Canucks game and getting me into hockey. He was a very important part in my life and I will never forget that.

Sincerely, Justine Purvis

Elaine and Howard,
I didn't know Ryan long, but it didn't take much to make a connection. Probably about 10 minutes of talking and we began hanging out together everyday. Your son was an extremely talented writer. In the weeks prior to his passing we would get together and write, and talk. He not been writing in recent so I gave him a new journal to put his thoughts in. He was my best friend here. The only one I made a connection with in my 1.5 years here. My heart goes out to you both. I miss him deeply. Much Love. RIP Ryan

I went to school with him til grade 12 and he was always hilarious when i was in the same class as him. His smile was contagious. I am so sorry to hear of this loss however i have no doubt heaven gained another angel. <3
