Ryan Christopher Downs

Kelli and Dave, Kitti and I are very sorry to hear of Ryan’s passing. Its an empty feeling when one loses a loved one so young. Please know that Dave and you and your family will be in our prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. We hope you all will gain strength from knowing how much Ryan demonstrated strength to those he knew and was a wonderful example of courage to those lives he touched during his time on earth. And to you and the family.please be strong in this difficult time.

Ryan was great to work with. He combined a soft spoken confidence, keen mind, sense of humor, and passion for serving others in his day to day. He will be missed, but his fingerprints are all over what we do at CPI and more importantly helps those we serve in our communities.

I didn't know Ryan but very little, but I grew up with the Downs family on Douglas street in Freeport. It is very sad when someone so young has to die...maybe we will find a cure for Cystic fibroses.

Ryan was an absolute joy to have as a colleague at the Crisis Prevention Institute— we are all better off knowing Ryan over these 10+ years— his dedication to his craft in IT, his support of all of us, and his work to make this world a more safer, caring place. His legacy is large at CPI and he will be remembered fondly— Tony, CEO of CPI

It was such a pleasure working with Ryan at CPI. We were on different teams however even through meetings at work his humor, intellect and individuality would shine through. He loved to make people laugh and was extremely creative in doing so. His work ethic and overall character was inspirational to myself and no doubt many others. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and colleagues.

To All of Ryan's Family and Sir Isaac Mewton,
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Ryan was a beautiful soul & wonderful friend. I loved his humor, sarcasm, and wit. I have many memories of Ryan & loved him dearly. He is irreplaceable & I miss him deeply. Much love to you all.

Dave &Kelli,
We are so very sorry to hear of Ryan’s passing. Sending you and your family heartfelt condolences.
