Not sure what to say?

I have very fond memories of Ryan and very fun times at the Probst Farm. He was a good friend of my cousin Brian Probst. He sure will be missed. Sending lots of love and prayers to his family at this most difficult time. Gone to soon but never forgotten.

The world will defintely be a lesser place without Ryan. He was a very unique person and was always pleasant to everyone. My favorite memory of Ryan would have to be his 6th grade Student council speech. I don't think there was a person in that hall way that wasn't rooting for him. Your memory will never be forgotten.

I remember Ryan as a funny, sarcastic person who always knew how to make someone laugh. He was very opinionated and just a riot. I had alot of fun in the years that I was friends with him, going to prom in 2000 was probably the highlight of my friendship with him. My thoughts are with his family, he was taken too soon.

I am so sorry for your loss, Ryan was so many things to so many people, and he will never be forgotten. I only hope that we have all learned from him the value of individuality and the ability to express ourselves no matter what adversity presents itself to us. Ryan has always been his own person, no matter what was popular or fashionable at the time, and that is part of what made him so amazing. There will never be another person exactly like him and I will always love him.

Hmm.. well, Ryan's been like my best friend since I met him in 6th grade... I have a bazillion memories, and could never just pick a few to share, but it's safe to say that they won't ever be forgotten. If there was ever one person that I was pretty sure I could count on, everyday for the last 12 years, it'd be Ryan. He definitely left us way too early, but there's SO much of him that will live on. I love you Ryan.

Ryan was my very best friend. The best friend Ive ever had. He was so generous and caring and always there to listen when I needed him. He never turned me away when I needed him. He made me laugh and made me so happy to know that I even knew someone like him, let alone could say he was my best friend. I feel so lucky to have met him and I couldnt have asked for a better person to be my best friend. He was going to be my prom date in April. He knew I didnt have anyone and he wanted me to have...

Your family is being remembered in our prayers. We are so sorry for your loss.

I will always remember Ryan as a great friend throughout high school. He could always make me laugh, and I have many good memories with him. My thoughs and prayers go out to his family and everyone that knew him. It is tragic news to hear of a life ended far too soon.
