Not sure what to say?

Ryan hired/developed me at Z57 and I continued to use him as a reference for my career since. We stayed in touch over the years thanks to baseball. He loved to give me a hard time about my Kansas City Royals, and I likewise about his Orioles. Great guy. He will be missed greatly. My condolences...

I worked for and with Ryan for several years at Z57. Learned a ton about leadership and business from him. He was my biggest advocate when I moved on from the company and helped shepherd me to the career I have today. He´s a good man and will be missed. Condolences to his family.

I grew up in the same neighborhood and ward as Ryan and the Whitlock family. They are wonderful people. I remember Ryan inviting me to play at neighborhood softball games with him and the guys. I was NOT a good ball player at all. Ryan would try to give me hints and pointers. He would also see that they pitched to me (way beyond 3 strikes) so I could sometimes hit the ball. He was a good young man and grew into being a great man. Thinking of him takes me back to my childhood in...

I´m so sorry to hear of Ryan´s passing. I remember family reunions with his parents and his dad´s "dad" jokes that always made me groan.

I will forever remember him singing "Angie" by The Rolling Stones. He was a great human being. I´m sure everyone that knew him was blessed with many special memories.

I have known Ryan since the 10th grade. However, over the past few years, I had the incredible opportunity to spend a great deal of time with Ryan, both personally and professionally. I brought him into my Rectify group and into Kinect Capital as CFO and where we worked on the board of directors together. I was constantly impressed by his work ethic and business acumen. He was a great friend and will be truly missed by many. I will miss our weekly breakfast meetings and business strategy...

I met Ryan in 2nd grade and it would take volumes to cover our adventures together. I will always love and miss my friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Ryan's passing. We spoke often about the importance of integrity in business. He loved teaching others how to succeed. He was a good man, and he will be missed.

I can´t fathom never sharing a beer and a laugh with him again. The memories come hard and fast. I´m thankful I have so many. I hope only the best memories will comfort his family and friends during this time. Goodbye my dearly loved friend.
