I went to school with Ryan. We were good friends my senior year. He was always so sweet and kind. The thing I will always remember most was his smile. He had such a genuine smile. He smiled with his eyes. He was always a joy to be around. I was heartbroken to learn of his passing. There are no words.... I pray that your family finds comfort and peace in God.
God bless.

I met Ryan for the first time at the Global GameChangers Launch in Whitestown a couple of weeks ago. I was immediately touched by his sweet smile and kind, quiet, hardworking manner. Before leaving I gave him a hug and thanked him for all he does for others. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Celeste Allen

I didnt know Ryan very well; just the few minutes each day in the preschool pick-up line while waiting to pick up our daughters. We were acquaintances at best, but his kindness made a lasting impression on me. He had an infectious smile and a sincere love of children. He always said hi to me and made a special point to say hello to my daughter, despite her shy or sometimes even rude 4 year old response. What I remember most, though, was his love for his daughter. He adored her! You could see it in his eyes when he talked about her and on his face the second he saw her beautiful smile. Jocelyn was his purpose and it showed in every interaction I had with him. When Jocelyn drew my daughters name for the preschool Christmas drawing, Ryan reached out to me to make sure they got just the right gift for her. My heart breaks for Jocelyn and his family. I will sincerely miss him!
