Ryan W. Fitzpatrick

To all of Ryan's loved ones, I share my deepest sympathy. I was overwhelmed by the news of his passing. I am a musician--he and I connected at an art fair in west Chicago years ago and talked for almost two hours until I was late to leave. Music and art--with a passion! I felt, instantly, that he was a kindred spirit, as we both shared something below the surface, maybe the same need to express ourselves. And he did so in such a beautiful way.

Collaborating with him on an art...

Dear Tilney,

I want you to know that I've always admired your marriage and your business from afar. I regularly check the Man vs. George Design page on Facebook, so I was shocked to see that he recently passed. I am so sorry, Tilney. I can only express my sincerest sympathies for your loss. I have never forgotten the friendship that I had with Ryan during my undergraduate career in Madison. I saw him as an older brother or father figure - something I so desperately needed at that time...

Tilney -
I'm so sorry to hear about Ryan. I pray that you find moments of peace in these sad and difficult days.

Dear Tilney, My sincere condolences in your time of sorrow. Words are not enough to convey my sympathies or mend your heartache: May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

May God bless his family, especially his father Bill, in this time of great sorrow and confusion... Mike Varcato

We will miss him too. Part of Tilney always. May we all be better for remembering him.

My condolences and prayers to Tilney and your family. I am just at a loss of words - just know your friends and family and co-workers are here for you. Lean on them - they are there for you. With loving thoughts as my heart aches for you. He is always with you.

We are shocked and so so sorry to miss hugging you and giving you our personal condolences on Saturday. We are thinking about you from Africa. We love you! Mark & Petra

Ryan was delightful, no other word for it. I hope it is some comfort to know that he brought that delight to so many people. He was a prince. I'm so terribly sorry.
