You were always the nicest to me, out of your siblings. Even when we followed you around and bugged you incessantly. I think about you all the time and feel like your absence and the way you left this world is so unfair. I feel you with me at the dunes, and know you would be making everyone look bad how good your riding skills were. Until next time...

I was deeply saddened when I found out today (May 5th) that Ryan had passed. I will always remember him as a gentle and soft hearted person. Ryan and Nick had stayed with my son, Chad, and I at the Vista View apartments on 20th a few years ago. I remember a lot about him, especially the love he had for Malika and their dog, Molly. Boy, did that dog love Ryan. She would lay by the door of the bathroom until he came out. I have a lot of mostly good memories of Ryan, especially his kindness and pleasing nature to everyone around. My deepest sympathy to Wendy, Nick, and family and I am so sorry I missed Ryan's service as I was unaware. Wendy, Nick, Emily, Malika, or whoever else would like to talk to me about the good memories of Ryan, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected]. RIP. Ryan, you will be missed here on earth and will meet again one day with all the angels by your side!

Ryan has been a part of my life for 8.5 years. He has always been the most thoughtful and sweetest guy I'd ever met. He had the kindest soul and was always so loyal. One of the greatest gifts he's ever given me, was our dog, Molly. He taught me how to have this unconditional love for all animals and he's a huge part of who I am today. I love you Ryan. And I will miss you every single day. I hope you're at peace. I'll be waiting for the day I get to see you again. Xoxo.

Wendy and family, Ryan was a sweet soul and will be missed by all who knew him. May God comfort your hearts and draw all of you to Himself. I can't imagine the depths of your loss, but God says to "Come unto Me and I will give you rest." This is truth you can hold on to when your heart is hurting.

Families are never prepared for this painful loss. Please know that Ryan is safe, loved, and treasured beyond all imagining. This path of grief is very bumpy, so I pray for angels to help you along until you are able to hold this beautiful soul in your loving arms again. Sending prayers, peace, and love to your family.

Ryan was one of the kindest souls I've had the pleasure to know. I met Ryan in the 8th grade and he became a constant in my life throughout highschool and for a short time after. Sadly, I never got to know the man he grew to become. I will always remember him as "Ry guy", my friend who was always laughing and cheering people up. Rest in peace my friend. Heaven is lucky to have you. You will be missed.
