To my friend Lori Fugate, and those who knew and loved Ryan. Our hearts are with you always. There is never anything that anyone can say that could comfort a loved one over something so senseless. Please know that I truly believe Scott is comforted by the beauty above, watching over each and every one of you.

I looked up the meaning of Rhino. It was defined spiritually speaking, the rhino is associated with peace, solitude, gentleness, power, and steadiness. It is not by coincidence you were given this nickname you were all that and more, Ryan. Mando and I were speaking about how funny you were and a beautiful smile you always had. We will all miss that. Death has brought you to eternal life.To be absent from the body is to be present with God. You are also present with family, Eileen, Sherri, Michael, Uncle Rudy & Rick, Aunt Janie & Anna and more. Say hello to them from us and give them a big hug and kiss from us. God needed another Angel to serve in his Army. You are our intercessor in Heaven for all of us. Many of your friends are angry, confused, upset, grieving etc., please help them in this difficult time. Ask God to help heal your family and friends of this tremendous loss of losing you. That God will bring peace, comfort, love, joy, and laughter of your remembrance. May the God of peace and his Angels continue to be encamped around them all today, tomorrow, and always especially as we all say our final goodbye to you tomorrow. Our sincere condolences to family and friends of Ryan. Mando & Angie
