Ryan Keith Perry

I miss you so much. I tell my kids stories about you and they wish they could have met you. They sure would have loved you. Rest In Peace. I love you.

Ryan,

Remembering my old best friend from our sophomore year at Cottonwood I went to look you up. You will be missed my old friend, Your zest and vigor for life will be in my heart every day,

Ryan, I come to this page often. Even after all this time, I think about you on almost a daily basis. I have dreams that we are back in high school either golfing, fishing, or just hanging out. It's always so painful to wake up and realize that I was dreaming, but at the same time, it's satisfying to be able to go back to the way things were, even if it's just for a moment. I have had a very difficult time dealing with your death. It makes me so sad that you never got to meet my wife. I have...

Ry,

I remebered your birthday this year! I never have been one to remember much, but I don't think I will ever forget it again. The last time I ever spoke to you was on your birthday,it was conversation that will never be forgotten...it hurts....not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You were an amazing friend (with really smelly feet...) but I loved you very much. You gave me your heart forever and you will always be in mine.

Happy birthday Ry!

I watched something about Alaska last night and thought of you. The memories of you always make me smile. I can't believe it's already been a year. Speaking of memories, I just thought of when Aaron and I hid easter eggs for you and Big A because we were all alone for Easter. We hid like 25 bucks in change! Ha! Memories like that make me laugh! We were always such a big family. I never will know how you ever got a good nights sleep on that community couch...

Ryan,

I haven't been able to write in this till now. I never knew what to say. But I realized that I didn't need it to be scripted or thought out. I think about you daily and miss you so much. So many of us that love you were affected deeply and forever. Not only by your death but by your life. You showed me goodness Ryan. I miss our long talks and many laughs. I'll never forget the first time we met. I'll always remember opening that door and seeing your smiling face...

Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much.

Thanks Ry for the words of wisdom and for your continuing love and friendship. You are a strong yet goofy soul and thoughts of you bring a smile to my face. I miss you always and think of you often. I know you are looking over me and helping to guide my life in the right direction. God is lucky to have an angel like you. Keep smilin!

Love you Ry!

I just wanted to let Ryan know i was thinking of him this Holiday Season and thank him for teaching me to always give your all with everything that you do, 100% and then some. I will see you again one day.

Dear Karren, I am so sorry I didn't learn of Ryan's death until now. You are an amazing mother and were always there for him. You can hold dear memories in your heart as well as the assurance that you did all you could to help him achieve his potential.
