I was stunned and saddened today to learn of Ryan's passing. As a former coworker, Ryan and I had similar experiences and shared the same friends. After that, it was always fun to bump into Ryan over the years. The thoughts and prayers of my family are with yours. Ryan will certainly be missed.

Ryan was never 'my' friend, but he was always very friendly, kind, sincere, and respectful to me, through all the years that Beth and I have been friends. I am heartbroken for his family and friends. Such a bright flame has been snuffed much, much too early.

Ryan was sincerely one of my favorite people. Being Ryan's friend was an honor and a priveledge, being his cousin, priceless. I always looked forward to family parties and get-togethers just so I could hear him spew some funny rhetoric on the politics of the day or about another one of his hilarious expeditions. He could make me laugh like none other. I will miss him terribly. He was one of a kind.
