Miss you, Ryan. Hard to believe it's been 10 years. Your life forever changed the direction of mine for the better. I'll see you in heaven someday, friend. Until then - Proverbs 17:17.

my prayers and thoughts are with you during the difficult time..i have reflected on Ryan alot this past week and always think back to knowing him as a child. i remember taking him to the pumpkin patch with jeff and feeling like i needed roller skates or harness on both of them to keep them in site. Oh what engery that boy had..
but what i remember the most is how as a child he had good manners and a smile that warmed your heart. May you find comfort in knowing that Ryan is at peace and in the arms of our loving God. God's peace and strength for you and his family

No words can bring you the comfort and peace that we can only find in Christ, and we know that you all are looking to Him for comfort in all of this. We love you all and wish we could be there to give you a hug to express our hurting for you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Ryan was truly a great and funny guy. We both received Athlete of the Week in the Gridley Herald at the same time. I remember comparing strikeouts with him. He was an amazing ballplayer. He will be truly missed.

I was trying to describe to my wife Ryan's laugh last night as we were talking about and remembering Ryan. He had one of those laughs that would make anyone in the room start laughing at the sound of his amusement.
You don't realize how much impact a person has on your life until something like this comes along. All the games, laughs, memories and fun times all come rushing back.
Ryan will be missed by all who knew him. Ryan was truly awesome athlete, friend, and fellow brother.

Love ya Show,

I know ill miss you Bud. Thanks for the time and memories we had.
