Brother,
Tomorrow marks another year. As long as it has already been, it feels like yesterday we had that last conversation. I still ask myself, "What would have happened if I kept Yoho on the phone for just one more minute?" I miss you brother. I kept my word my friend, and it will never change.
Love you and miss you brother.

So sorry to hear about your loss- i too lost my sister Kayla Diane Grimmett to a car accident when she was 17- i'm not sure how he may have been related to me but my grandma was Joan Yoho(Cresta). In my picture is Tonya Wood, and my step sister Amber Grimmett w/me.

Merry Christmas Ryan. Another Holiday season without you and how we wish you were here with us. We try our best to get through the Holidays and knowing that you are our special Angel from above does make it easier. Our hearts will always be broken without you and we think of you always. Our family is not complete on this earth with you in Heaven. May you have a beautiful Christmas Son/Brother. We will be looking up above today knowing that you are looking down upon us.
We love and miss you very very much.

Merry Christmas Ryan. As we go through another Holiday without you here, we know you are watching down upon us in spirit. We will always look back on the past Christmas memories with you and cherish those forever. We know as this Christmas morning arrives, you will watch over your brothers as they eagerly rip open those presents. You are their hero, the big brother they will never forget.
We love and miss you so very much.

Our sweet Ryan, it's hard to believe that 4 years has now passed since you left us. We do not know how we have survived being left on this earth without you. Not one day has gone by that we have not thought of you, spoke your name or wished more than anything we would see you walking through the door once again. There are simply no words to explain how much our broken hearts ache for you. We miss you so much Ryan.
God gave us such a perfect Angel and He must had a very special plan for you in Heaven. We will always have our Angel to watch over us.
We love you Ryan our sweet "Son & Brother".

Happy "23" Birthday Ryan. We really wish you were here with us. To not have you in our life is the hardest thing to face daily. It gives such peace to know your watching over us and we look forward to the day we are reunited with you. Please continue to give us the strength as we must live this life on earth without you. We love and miss you very much.

Your memories we cherish and love to share with each other. There will never be a day that passes your name is not spoken and that we don't think of you. We hope you have a beautiful Christmas in Heaven. Please look down upon us on this day to guide us with strength as we do our best to get through it. We love you so very much Son & Brother.

To my Beautiful Son,
Happy "22nd" Birthday Ryan. This day has always been the most hardest for me being without you. I remember every minute of this day 22 years ago. God gave me this sweet little bundle of joy that I adored and you were my life. All our dreams we had for you was took away from both of us. You would have made a huge impact in this world as you grew and explored your life on earth. Now I know in my heart you are doing the same in Heaven. Have a wonderful day in Heaven my Son.
I love you so very much.

Today my heart aches even more for you Ryan. It's so unfair to not have you here with me. Even though I will never understand the reason you were taken from this family, I do know that you are watching over us. Your memories are so special in our hearts and we cherish each one, no matter how good or bad. Continue smiling down and keep us safe. I love and miss you so very much. Until we meet again my Son.

Hi,
My name is Jackie Tannenbaum and I just wanted to say that I appreciate Mr. Yoho for coming to my school, South Meck, and talking to us. Your sons story is very touching, and I will admit that I cried today when I heard his story. I really appreciate what you are doing to help kids and families be safe. You guys are great people. Thank you so much!
Ryan seemed like an amazing person and I'm more than positive he would have done great things. I again thank you so much!

Happy Easter Ryan. We all miss and love you very much. Your brothers put carrots out for the Easter Bunny and are ready for him to come hopping in with baskets of goodies. Even though I know your watching them from above and enjoying the excitement in their faces on these holidays, I only wish that I could see your face as well in sharing the fun traditions that children only bring on such mornings. We may not have you here in life, but we know you are still with us and you always will be. Not a day has went by since you left that we have not spoke your name or a memory of you. Keep watching over us Son and continue to guide us to learn how to go on without you. We know you are in a better place. RIP my smiling Angel. I love you.

Merry Christmas Ryan. Heaven is so lucky to have such a beautiful angel up above to be part of this blessed day. Even though you are in a better place, I can't help to be a bit selfish to wish I had you here with me. I know you are watching over us, especially your brothers who need you and at times seem lost without their big brother to guide them. Your garden is shining brightly in your memory tonight. I feel so helpless that lighting candles was all I could do or give to you. Your memories of all the years past are everywhere on our tree and your stocking hung as if you were here. We were a family with you here and now we do not look as if you have left us. You are a part of us and we will continue to include you always and forever. You use to love Chrismas so much. Now I know you are in heaven loving it even more. I love and miss you more than anything. Continue to watch over us my Son. Your Mom needs the strength up above from her beautiful smiling angel. Keep us safe Son. Loving my sweet boy forever..Mom

Hey Ryan you know these are the hardest words that I have ever had to say in my life. I miss you a lot, you were a great guy who had lots going for you. I remember hanging out with you and you picking on me. You would make jokes and just have lots of fun. You were full of laughter every day and if someone was feeling down you would bring them back up. Its been so hard to not think back of the times hanging out with you. I always think about you every day and how much fun you were to be around. I am sorry for your parents loss, I am sure it is hard for them but I am sure they know that you are smiling down on them. I haven't been to any of Ryans events for his anniversarys because its just been so hard and I dont know if I would be able to take all of that. He was an amazing guy and I wish he was still here. Its just so sad and I would never have thought that I would have to hear this about a good friend of mine. Well I miss you so much Ryan you will never be forgotten, I can't wait to see you again someday.

My Loving Son,
Two years ago, that horrible phone call came in the night to me. My Ryan was seriously hurt and they needed me there. As I stood numb, alone at home, trying to let the words I just heard come more clearly to me of what I had to do, I wanted to scream not my boy. Please god not my boy. In the midst of racing to get to you, even though the words had not been said to me “you were gone”, I believe in my heart I really knew you were. Being so numb and afraid, I do not remember how I made it inside that hospital. Once inside and hearing the words I’m sorry but he died, actually made my worse fear a reality. That chilly night being in that hospital, hearing the words, listening to the apologies, to finally standing by your lifeless body. You simply looked at peace as though you were just sleeping. How I hated to leave you in the early morning hours. This was my son who should be coming home with me, not being left behind as I felt I was doing at this horrible time.
Two years ago you died and still to this day I have not accepted your death. I wait for you to walk in the door and I tell myself it’s time to wake up from this nightmare so I can live the life I use to have once again. In reality I know this will not happen, I haven’t lost my mind, I simply am a heartbroken mom trying to continue on with my life the way I was forced to live. I miss you so much I want to see you in our house. I miss the complaining I done toward you, repeating the words daily to my Ryan, turn off the light, shut the door, pick up your things, etc. Those frustrating things about you would bring me joy if I had you back. You came a long way within the last few years of your life. The Ryan I knew, the boy with the beautiful smile and a heart of gold had finally returned. Mom had her boy back and he was going to be ok in life and move on making something of himself. If you only knew the times I had thanked God for you.
Two years ago when you walked out that door on that October night, little did you know that you would never return again. As I watched you leave, I too did not know that the next time I seen you would be looking at your lifeless body laying there. You were not ready to leave this earth. You had so much living left to do within yourself. You had dreams, plans and was simply ready to take on this world. People say it was your time to go. I tend to disagree; you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now that God has you, he must see what a special angel you are. You are in a better place, this I know. How lucky heaven is to have you.
Two years ago you left me and I still am not ready to let you go.
I love you,
Mom

Happy Birthday Ryan,
Today as your 21st birthday arrives, I wish so much you were with us. This is a very important age of a person's life, one you should of had the chance to be on this earth to celebrate. Heaven will be shining today instead, with such a lovely celebration for you. My beautiful angel will be gleaming with so much pride.
Spending your birthday's without you are the hardest days for me. This is a day that you and I made our beginning of what became such a "special bond" on this earth. A bond that even death can not take from me.
I hold your memories so tightly and cherish each one I have. My heart aches so much with you gone. I often ask why did this happen but I understand there will never be a answer for me. I must live each day without you and find a way to learn how to adapt to this "new life".
Happy Birthday my beautiful Son. Watch over your Mom a little more today to get me through it. I love you so very much and miss you more than anyone would know.

As I was driving in to work this morning all I could think about was you Ryan. Not a day has gone by not even (one) that you have not entered my mine sometime during that day. I will always love and miss you and wanted to just tell you how in awe I am of how strong your parents have been and would do anything to take away some of their pain for them if I could. When I enter those gates one day I know I will see you there with everyone that I have lost and loved. Until then.....

As I faced my second Mother's Day without you. I find myself missing you more. My day I spent thinking of your memories that I have kept so fresh in my heart. Wishing as always, that you were here with me. I know today you were with us, as your brothers and I played ball, card games and one on one basketball with Reid (who beat me by the way, no matter how hard I tried some moves you had showed me). Keep watching over us Ryan, at times I need your strength you give me from above to get through those hardest days. I miss and love you so very much. Mom

Happy Easter Ryan. The holidays are just not the same without you. Even though I miss you so much, these days are the hardest for me. I have so many memories of you as each holiday passes. I remember the last Easter you were here. You were in Florida with Susan. I gave you a small gift early and it still sits in your room. You loved getting the easter baskets and as you would always say (no chocolate). For some reason that Easter Bunny always ended up giving you something chocolate, which you would give to Mom. :) I love and miss you so very much son. One day we will be together again. Mom

We would like to thank everyone for all their support and kindness during the months of court hearings. To have so many people out there who think of us, we are truly blessed. Ryan was lucky to have such wonderful friends as we were to have him. His precious smile will never be forgotten and he will forever smile down upon us.
Please continue to help us in fighting to stop "Drunk Driving". If we can save just one person, that's one less family that would have to suffer this horrible pain daily.
We are forever grateful to all of you.

Wish you were here with us this Christmas. We miss you so much. It's just not the same, without you. Thanks for giving me such a happy Christmas, your last one with us (2003). The memories of that year will always be with me. I love watching it on the video cam. Seeing your wonderful smile and hearing the sound of your voice. We have a new pet who was recently added to our home. I know if you were here, you would be so happy. Mickey finally has a friend. We welcomed our new 8 week persian (Molly) last week. I know how much you wanted another persian, for a friend to Mickey. I'm sure your having a wonderful Christmas in Heaven. It has to be so beautiful there. Watch over us Son, we are trying our best this year to make the holidays the best we can, without you with us. I love you very much and so badly miss you.

Another friend of mine was taken on Friday by a drunk driver. It makes me so furious that drunk people are taking the innocent lives of others. Finally, i think someone is going to do something about it. Its such a loss. When i lost Min on Friday, it made me t hink back to a year ago when you were lost. The ceremony was held at the same place yours was. Too many memories. Too Soon. Help my friend up there, fly together. RIP- gone but never forgotten.

Ryan,
You are getting a new friend in heaven. Ironically he was taken from us on the same day you were only 1 year later. He was 18. He went to school at Valley High and Magnolia High. He graduated from the same school your mom and dad did. He had a heart transplant a few years ago when he developed a virus that attacked his heart. He was doing fine until he died suddenly on Sunday. He will be buried in KP cemetary with you. You both left us on October 16th. May you both rest in peace. You're in a beautiful place! We miss you both!

Ryan, we didn't know each other that well, but I remember the good ole Northridge days!! I went to your vigil the other day, it was amazing. There are a lot of people that really miss you, even the ones like me who didn't really know you, but could pick you out in a crowd because they knew your face and your bright personality. I know your in a much better place and that your watching over the people you love..and one day we'll all meet again!! RIP Ryan!!

I know you are watching over all of us, shine brightly for you are our guardian angel.....rip i love & miss you very much

Ryan,
One year ago you left us and it broke our hearts. Today we are all still as brokenhearted. You meant the world to us and losing you was a huge loss in our life. As we gathered tonight to celebrate your life, it becomes so much more clear the love in this world people had for you. A son, brother and friend, who we were very proud to have will remain in the hearts of many. Keep smiling that wonderful smile you had son and watch over all of us who miss and love you more than anything. Your memory will stay alive in our hearts each and every day that we are on this earth. God only takes the best and taking you only proves to us that He does. Help us stay strong in mourning your loss and especially to your 3 brothers, who are lost without you. Rest in peace Ryan.
Dad,Mom, Reid, Rhett and Reece

Ryan,it's hard to believe you've been gone for a year. Your mom and I were bestfriends in elementary school.We played with babydolls and spent the night with each other. We use to love to run the cash register at "The Craft Store". I remember your mom and I going to the Red Star to buy a Coke in little glass bottles. (I don't even think they make them like that anymore) My family always looked forward to seeing you during Town and Country Days. Camping hasn't been the same since the death of your nan. We didn't even camp this year. I haven't been up to visit you at the cemetery for awhile now. I remember when your parent's named you. I loved the name Ryan and even named my son Ryan two years later. I can't even begin to imagine the pain your parent's and brothers are going through. I know you're helping to get them through each day. Your family loves you so much. Everyone talks about your smile. You definitely had a special smile. You must have been one happy kid! I know you're surrounded with family and friends up there. Give 'em all a hug from me. Please know that Betty thinks about you all the time. She talks about you alot. She just isn't very good when it comes to computers. I'm sure if she was she would be writing to you. May you rest in peace, Ryan.

Ryan,
I think you are spending your Birthday among the Angels and your loved ones up there. We sure miss you and I always thought you was a person most people liked and I thought always you would prosper in all that you did in life. But you did not get a chance very long to do that. I really think of you often. Great Aunt Mildred Alkire

Happy Birthday Ryan,
Of all days I have been forced to live without you, this day is the most painful. I remember every minute of the day you were born, as if it just happen yesterday. I was blessed that day with the most perfect gift in the world. You were a angel then as you are now. While you celebrate your 20th Birthday in heaven, when time comes to blow out those candles, wish for God to give your Mom the strength to get through this day. I love and miss you so much Son.

Hi Robin, I just wanted to send you a note to let you know that I seen Ryan's Birthday/Memory in the Wetzel Chronicle this week. I can't beleive he would have been 20yrs. old. I remember babysitting for him when Missy and I were in Highschool. He was a very sweet baby boy, and he grew up to be a very handsome young man. I want you and your family to know how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Thinking of you.
