So sorry for your loss. I met Ryan through the bank. He was always there to help and we became friends over the years. Even as his job changed and he moved to a new location, Ryan continued to work with me. I will miss him. The world lost a good soul.

To all Ryan's family and friends:
I was shocked to hear of Ryan's passing today. Ryan had introduced me to the Friday the 13th rides to Dover which we did a couple times. I met him through First Niagara and he was a great guy. His love for music and motorcycles were passions we shared. He was an inspirational guy and I will miss him. God Bless his wife Jill and his two kids who he talked so much about.
See you in the pasture Ryan.

Ryan and I hit it off from the first time we met, and I will miss him greatly. I am thankful that we got to spend a weekend together only a month ago in NC at a music festival. Little did I know that I would never see him again. He LOVED music as much as me, and there is no doubt in my mind that his energy will be manifested again to all of us throughout our lives if we keep our minds open to it. Fare thee well brother, you are free to walk in the sunshine now.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Ryan's untimely passing. I have worked with Ryan for a number of years - always looking forward to our semi annual lunches where he would tell me about his wonderful family and we'd compare stories about our canine companions. Always a smile on his face and a great passion for his work. RIP my friend. Beth O'Keefe

Ryan was a great friend to Don Hoffman and all of our staff at Airport Plaza Jewelers in Cheektowaga. As the George Urban branch manager for several years, Ryan was a cheerful and helpful point person who led a talented staff that everyone could tell loved to work with him. We cheered for his professional growth, admired his community spirit and involvement, and were excited to hear about the family he loved above all. We pray that God's great comfort will always be there in abundance for Jill, Liam, Layla and all the family and many close friends Ryan had.

I had the privilege of working with Ryan at BlackRock KeyBank. He told me, when his Wife and Little Son came into the Bank, "See what I get to go home to everyday."

I am so sorry for this horrible lost!RIP Ryan,you will be greatly missed.

It is with a heavy heart and much sadness that I find myself here today. I could not believe, or, did not want to believe, the tragic news about Ryan Casullo. I had the pleasure of meeting Ryan about 10 years ago while I was involved with the Hertel-North Buffalo Business Association and a nicer man you could not meet. His willingness to help and give back to his community is evidence of his character and his kindness towards others. He always had a big smile on his face and was quick to share stories about his children and wife, who he absolutely adored. My heart and prayers go out to his entire family. The world needs more men like Ryan Casullo. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear Jill, children, and family of Ryan,
My deepest sympathies and heart felt thoughts. I initially met Ryan years ago, when we all lived on Claremont Ave in Buffalo. He was a neighbor and friend of my roommates and quickly mine. I cannot believe such a wonderful person is gone. Ryan was a regular fixture at my home back then and was always a welcome guest. I will miss running into you at random events and various places. If Ryan was where you were, you were usually somewhere pretty cool! Peace to all during this difficult time.

I am very sad to hear of the death of Ryan Casullo this weekend. I worked with Ryan for a few months about 11 years ago and would run into him and his family at restaurants every now and then. My wife Tami knew him from working at the Music Is Art festivals. Ryan was a truly good man, just one of the nicest and most warm-hearted guys you could ever meet. I am sad that a good man is gone way before his time and even sadder for his wonderful wife and two young kids. He will be terribly missed by everyone who was lucky enough to know him.

I remember going down a sled hill with the 3 youts on my back-Ryan, Kevin and Shawn. Then I was wondering why my ribs hurt for a whole week. Then I remember, after I was pumping mad iron for 35 years, this skinny kid absolutely destroying me in arm wrestling. Then, the skinny kid grew up, went to college, and to make matters worse, moved into my stomping grounds in Tonawanda, and me, Goose-Uncle Henry-The Legend in my own mind became not just a myth but also, now, the SECOND BEST looking guy in Tonawanda. My sincere condolences. I Love You all-Glenn-Goose-Uncle Henry or as Josie would say, "Grandpa Doose."

We cannot imagine the gravity of your loss. We remember our mom speaking so fondly of Ryan and saying what a remarkable young man he was. I remember when he worked at Appleby's; he was always so kind and generous to a little boy with severe emotional problems who I would take there for dinner. Ryan made such an impact on him and treated him as though he were a regular kid. You might say that Ryan was his hero...
