Ryan Edward Bishop

As a parent of a student at Westminster, I had the honor of knowing Ryan through the climbing community at Westminster. Ryan was charming, polite, thoughtful, kind and an all round pleasure to be around. I am sorry for the hole his passing has left in all of our hearts and lives but especially for those who knew and loved him best.

Lake Host for life! Love you Bish, you will be missed by all. Keeping the Bishops in my prayers. Wishing the best to Chris, Jean, and Chris. Bish will live eternally in the hearts of many. See ya up there, love you.

Jeanie, Chris & Chris JR:

I will never forget the end of this summer when my car wouldn't start and i walked to every single house to ask for...

Dear Jeannie, Chris and Christopher,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your families. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,

I went to Westminster with Ryan and I can't even fathom that I won't be seeing him at that damn climbing wall next year. This kid was just full of life and fun, he radiated joy and was truly one of the most charming people I've ever met. People keep saying that about Ryan, but what a sincere testament to his character!
I had math with him last year, and I've been thinking about the way he always sat sprawled out there in the back, way too big for the tiny desks in the room, and how...

Dear Bishops ~ I'm so sorry to hear of this incredible tragedy & wish I could lighten your heartache. I hope you sense uniquely God's strength sustaining & keeping you. I'm sure I'm among many who will be holding you up in prayer.
