I miss you so very much Ryan I think about you everyday it's still very hard for me. There was so many things I wanted to share with you. Jordan got tall just like we said he would. Makayla is so beautiful and remembers you. Missy helps us and takes care of us like she always did. Michelle has been great and down to earth she has another son named Luke who will be another tall son. Cierra now has 3 beautiful kids. Avianna Mellissas little girl is so smart and talented she reminds me of you. I wish you were here and I miss you.

Damn, Its been 13 years since you passed. I seem to always remember you every couple weeks & always at the end of the year. I hope your family is well. I visited a few years after you had passed and hung out with your dad for a few hours talking about all the fun times.. Next time i'm in the area i'll swing by and see if your house is still occupied with your family.

I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free
No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.
I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.
When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.
Talk to me, just like you did
On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.
And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.
For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.

Ryan when our Heavenly Father opened the heavens to accept you on that faithful day, he made his angels play a melody with their golden harps that I can still hear today. You were such a talented and gifted soul who seemed to handle any circumstance with ease. I'm sure that by now you have earned your Golden Wings. We all miss and love you very much. As each day goes by we are reminded of how fragile life in this world can be. You reminded us that each and everyday we should love and respect each other. As for myself everytime the wind blows, the rain falls and the stars shine at night I am truly convinced that is you watching over all of us. With much love & respect your Uncle Darrell

Dedicated to my brother, Ryan.....Its been a long while man...and it hasent gotten any better like they say....Ive tried to explain to a few that when you lose somebody you love...somebody who you've watched grow....somebody you dream with...you dont just lose that person you love....you lose that whole life you had with them too....I cant imagine how my parents are dealing with it after the time that has passed....My heart pours for them....and my sisters....my children have been deeply affected by this as well....Not to mention Ryans best friends....It is a forever weepind loss....that will never be fully understood....Lots of dreams of Ryan this year..or the past year rather..(my timing is still so off!) Alot of you guys said he came to yo.....He told you he was "ok" and that God wanted you all to know that he was happy...and safe....the details were amazing...and proof that there is something planned for all of us in the end....Ryan made the best friends when he was here...he took the BEST care of his family....he made us all laugh till we thought we'd pee our pants....and most of all he smiled...no ,atter what....my brother always looked at the bright side of things and made the best of ANY situation....He has a mind of his own...a mind that was gifted.....I will forever admire my brother....He is my hero.....and although i want to scream as loud as i can sometimes (which i do) i have to at the same time be at ease that God never shuts one door without opening another......Ryan I love you man...and when i promised you I wouldnt cry, i find myself drenched in tears....i miss you man...I wish i could have you back buddy....I'd give whatever i could to make it happen......Instead i am left here...without my partner....my best friend....my teacher....my brother....until next time via email, text, or paper I love you man....Im always looking to the sky brotha....Im always smiling for you....cryings mandatory for you.....and even though your in Heaven, your in my prayers Ryan....always were...always will be....say Hi to the Man for me....love u 2 death.RIP.....love yo big sister.....michelle

When I heard the news of Ryan dying my heart shattered into a million pieces. I first met Ryan when I was in middle school. There was a big group of us all the time, just kickin it and doing our own thing. Then when highschool hit and everything changed. I continued to see Ryan here and there but not as much as before. Walking into the service on Jan.7,2005 and having to finally saw good-bye to a friend, brother, son, and uncle was the hardest thing I had ever done. When my eyes met Ryan's body I couldn't find the strength to go back to my seat. Since then I have spent every weekend with Ryan's friends and family. I only wish I was aroud more before he left us.
Danny, Kelly, Michelle, Missy, and McKayla- I will always be there for you whenever you need me. I love you all like you are my own family.
Ryan- Keep riding bubba I love you. Watch over me and I promise we'll all be together again someday. OXOX

I met Ryan many times but never really had the chance to become a good friend of his. But with the memories I have of him I will never let go! He was a fun and outgoing person, But yet so caring. I know he loved his family and friend so much and I know his family and friends care alot for him! He will never be forgotten...And will always be in my heart! I will miss him!
In Loving Memory Of Ryan

When the warmth of the sun touches my face, I see your smile and feel your embrace. I hear the whisper of love in the wind and I know that you are close to me again. The rain speaks of tears and the thunder of pain, but soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim. As the days come and go and the world moves on, I know you're still here, you'll never be gone. On the night the Angel came and took your hand, we cried as you left and still do for an unknown land. But heaven rejoiced as you came into sight, for your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!
I miss and love you endlessly!!!! Ryan and the family our in my prayers forever.

Danny and Family:
There are no words of comfort that I could extend that have not already been said. My heart is heavy, the tears cloud my eyes. A poem for which I would like to share:
To Those I Love, and to Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me,
Let me go I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears,
Be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave you my love,
You can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love each of you has shown,
but now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted with trust.
Its only for a time that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you cannot see or touch me, I'll be near.
and if you listen with your heart,
You will hear all my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say, "Welcome Home!"

My deepest sympathies to the Hernandez family for this terrible loss. I offer my condolences. Ryan was a good kid and always was very respectful to me. You now have an angel in heaven. He will watch over you and bless you from here on out. Rest in peace Ryan.

I got to know what a great guy Sharky was during the time he spent at my work. I can't believe someone as kind, funny, original, wonderful and great as Sharky has left my life. My prays go out for the Hernandez family.
I still have the poem Sharky, I will never forget.
God bless, Sarah Davis
