D. Ryan Massengill

When I think about uncle Ryan I feel so sad. He felt like a second dad to Cameron and I. I loved him so much even though we were enemies in sports because he liked the Cowboys and I liked the Steelers and I always use to make fun of the quarterback Tony fumble Romo. I'm so glad because Ricky Henderson made the hall of fame his most favorite baseball player.
I think of him everyday and miss him so much.
I LOVE YOU UNCLE RYAN!!!

There are so many things that have run through my head over the last 4 weeks. The one that I am having the hardest time coming to terms with is the fact that Ryan is gone. This is by far the most traumatic thing that we as a family have ever gone through. It so hard to resume your life back to "normal", I know for me things will never be the same again.
The one thing that makes me smile in such a difficult time is all the wonderful memories. Ryan and I became so close over the past...

Ryan was like an uncle to me like he was with Curtis and Cameron. I have only had a couple people die in my life but Ryan was the closest person I ever knew that had died. When I first heard on the day that he died I cried for about 2 hours straight.

Massengill Family: I am deeply sorry for your loss, all of our loss! I went to school with Ryan (long ago) at Victory where his mother was our teacher. I haven't seen Ryan in ages and wondered what he was like, and ...from what I've read so far, he was the same as I remember .. big smile, smart, easy going, loved sports and his family & friends ...and sports ;) He will always be remembered!

My heart goes out to Ryans family. It was my pleasure and honor to work with Ryan. I lost my sister in May also from an auto accident. I know how painful it is and will take much time to be able to smile again. Ryan was a light with a bright smile that will forever be remembered and cherished by all of us. I consider myself blessed and lucky to have known him. I pray for his family and special prayers for Michele the children and Marnie.

There are simply no words to express what Ryan means to me. Our children seem to seek their "elders'" approval as they grow up, but Ryan grew into such a magnificant man that it was me seeking his admiration and respect. His unconditional love and his total acceptance of me and my "unrefined" behavior when I was with him endeared him to me more than he knew. Not an hour passes that he is not in my thoughts, and he will forever be in my heart. I missed him yesterday, I miss him today, I...

Michele, Tori, Keegan,Cadence, Dennis, Pam & Marnie:
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived,and take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
Just remember I will always be here for you and your kids!

Love ya's,

Dani

To the Massengill Family,
I am so saddened to hear about Ryan's death. I was completely caught off guard when I read this. I had not spoken to Ryan since IU. He will forever be missed and never forgotten. I remember growing up with him and seeing his beautiful smile. It brightened up any room. Please know you are all in my prayers.

May God bless and keep you in comfort.

To all the Ryan Massengill Family,
My wife, Koneta, and I were totally stunned to learn of the sudden loss of Ryan. He was such a great H.N.H.S. tennis player and a completely grand gentleman! It was an honor to coach him and I appreciated his leadership! We hope and pray you can all take comfort in the Lord at such a devastating time.
