Jack & Jan,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God surround you with His love always.

Ryan, RaynO, Hot Dog,
A few days have pasted, and we just can not get you out of our minds and hearts. "How many more night times", you used to say, but I am sure that the hours, days, months and years will pass (many night times) and you and your family will be on our minds and most definitely
in our hearts. I promise we will be there and be strong for your Mom and Dad, and the 2 little ones, I know how much they meant to you and how much you loved them all. Just wish we could...

I went to Basha last year with Ryan....Ryan was an amazing kid. He was very kind a loveing.... i know that he was an amazing soul here from God. Ryan you will truley be missed... but it was ur time to go be with God. Ride forever in Heaven!I am gonna miss that cute smile and how cute you always dressed. My thoughts go out to your family in this time of need. Ryan nobody will ever forget you! I love you Ryan! ~Brittany~

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Ryan, but my son did. He said Ryan always made him laugh. He is extremely saddened by the loss of Ryan. He has been to the memorial numerous times to read the love and affection that everyone felt for your son. Knowing that God had an higher purpose for Ryan warms my heart. He sounds like a terrific kid and the service was very powerful. My prayers are with the family and all of the people whose lives Ryan touched.

I thank God so much for the impact that Ryan has made on my life, however breif it was. Ryan was in my Home Ec/Shop class in 8th grade, and i remember when we were in sewing he sat across from me. I swear that kid talked to me everyday, no matter what. He always made me laugh when i had a bad day, and i remember his smile lighting up the whole room. I didnt even know Ryan was a Christian until after he went home, but his faith is truly an inspiration to me, epsecially since i've recently been...

To all who knew and loved Ryan: I did not know Ryan but do have a 17 year old son who knew him and has close friends who were very close to Ryan. I know the sadness my son is feeling even though he only knew Ryan casually. It sounds like Ryan was a very special young man who brought a great deal of sunshine into many people's lives. As a parent of a teenage son, I can only imagine the sorrow Ryan's parents must be feeling. Please know that to all who knew and loved Ryan, you are in my...
