Not sure what to say?

Hi my name is Ahsan Malik, I just want to say no one could have ever asked for a better teacher, and mentor than Mr. Ryan Reed. He was even more than just that, it´s not enough to describe him. He was a true man, and even felt like a father figure to me at little moments in time. He showed me manners and taught me how to be polite. But it wasn´t just that, Mr. Reed made us cherish the moments as he would bring his guitar into the classroom on holidays. All doubt and misfortunes would just...

Think about you every day brother. ❤ You and miss you.

I miss you every day buddy ❤

I worked with Ryan as a 5th grade teacher at MaST, and my daughter, Emily, had him as a teacher. We will both miss Ryan so much. He was a truly dedicated teacher and a wonderfully loyal friend. I knew each time I saw him, there was great potential for laughter! Love you always, Ryan!

My heartfelt Condolences to the Reed Family. I work at MaST down the hallway from Ryan. He always had such positive energy and always made me smile. He will be greatly missed.

We are so very sorry for the loss of your son and brother. Mr Reed was my grandson's favorite teacher. He was great with all the kids as well as their parents. He even helped me get through that first year of the dreaded common core math. He took the time to help anyone at any time. He was truly a kind and caring person, who gave his all to everyone. I felt so much better that he went on the Settlement Camp when my Billy went. He assured me he would be fine and would call me if anything...

Dear Gail, Clem & Heather: Brady and I are so sad for all of you that you have lost your precious son and brother, Ryan. The world has lost a genuinely good guy. We will miss him. You are all in our thoughts and our prayers as you grieve this tragic loss. Much love and God's blessings, Jane and Brady

It was a privilege to know you Ryan through our golf league. You were a heck of a player and one of the nicest folks to be around. My heart goes out to the Reed family. Please know that you and Ryan are in my prayers.
