I am so glad I had the pleasure of knowing Ryland. I had so much respect for how he loved and took care of his family. He will never be forgotten

I have wonderful memories of Ryland. His wry sense of humor is what I will always remember and treasure in my memories. I am so sorry that his life had to end so soon, but feel comforted that he is in heaven watching over his family

Ryland was one of the true friends that I have had and it was from the first time we spoke on the phone. I found joy in us working together for over two years. I know that this parting will be for a short time and then we will see each other once more. May the Lord be with Birdy and the family at this time.
