I only had the chance to meet Ryan a few times but I certainly remember him and like many I will never forget. He was loved and respected by everyone who knew him. My deepest sorrows and heartfelt prayers go out to his family and loved ones and may your hearts mend with each passing day. We will all be together again some day

To the Goddard family:
Words cannot express the sorrow and tragedy a person feels after the loss of a loved one; Especially somebody with a heart the size of Ryan's. When a loved one leaves us on this earth and his soul goes to Heaven to meet our maker, we are left with countless little treasures that will continue to remind us of that person multiple times on a daily basis. These treasures are our memories of that person and the people, places, and things they stood for and influenced throughout their lifetime. This is God's gift to the living and they should be cherished forever. These are the gifts we will hold onto throughout our lives and in essence make up Ryan's Legacy.
Ryan and I went to school together and were in the same pledge class in AKL. I am grateful that I have been able to call Ryan my friend, and I am DEEPLY saddened by this tragic event. I offer my dearest condolences. I know how difficult this must be for you all. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how much you will miss Ryan. Hold your faith up high and proudly, knowing that God has a plan and whatever happpens to his children, is never an accident or unplanned to him. Sometimes we have a difficult time understanding why God allows tragic events to occur...but one thing that I am certain of, is that God's plan will make since to us when we are united with him and are able to look at our lives In Reverse! It will ALL MAKE SINCE IN REVERSE!
I encourage you to draw on your strength and the strength of your family. Again my deepest condolences for your loss and my prayers will be with you all. God Bless you all.
Respectfully,
~ Lonnie D. Bradford ~

Ryan was a fiercely loyal friend who brought positive energy to every situation. His big smile and echoing laugh is something I will never forget. He was also an incredibly brave person not only during the battle for his life but throughout all the time I knew him. My deepest sympathy to Ryan's parents and to Ginny. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing how strongly Ryan impacted all of us who were lucky enough to call him our friend. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

I can honestly say everytime I was around Ryan in person he was either laughing or flashing his contagious smile. He was such a kind person with a geniune personality. I did not know Ryan nearly as long as I would have liked but he made an impact on me with the time we had together. I know Ryan put joy in countless people. My thoughts and prayers are with Ryan's wife, Ginny, and all of the Goddard family.

Ginny and family,
My first meeting and remembrance of Ryan was watching the smile appear on his face when he saw YOU walking down the aisle to him on your wedding day.
My last meeting and remembrance of Ryan was June 9 when I placed 4 dozen donuts in the break room at Wilson and Company to celebrate his colleague (and my husband) Eric's birthday. He passed me, in the hall, flashed that smile I remembered so well and said "hello".
Eric was faithful in sharing Ryan's story with me. My God...what a brave and courageous young man. You and everyone Ryan touched in his brief 29 years remain in Eric's and my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless...

Ryan was an amazing and fun person! He truly lived his life to the fullest in college when I knew him and from the pictures he contined that until the end. I consider myself lucky to have know and hung out with Ryan. I recently lost my mother to cancer so I know I can offer no words that will take your pain away. However, just knowing he touched my life and in a very postitive way will help you to know he will live on through many! My thoughts are with you during this time. Angie Dunnaway NWMSU class of 2000

On behalf of my husband, who had the pleasure of working with Ryan, we offer our deepest sympathy to the entire family. I had the opportunity to meet Ryan at several of (Western Air Maps) Wilson events. I will always remember his smile and jubliant personality. My husband would tell me how during Ryan's illness, he would come to work even though he was weak and not feeling his best. This shows the type of character this young man had. Our prayers and thoughts to each of you.
