The most beautiful discovery friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.This I learned from you the first day I moved away for school and my career. I will always love and remember you and your HUGE heart..Happy Birthday Ryan

As the days, weeks and months pass and you return to life's routine, may you feel the comfort of knowing that family and friends continue to think of Ryan and share your loss. When someone is remembered so fondly it shows they left a legacy of love and kindness. Have faith that Ryan was meant for more than this world and God needed him while he was young and strong.
Love Always,

Dearest Ryan,
You are my blood and forever a part of my soul. You are my baby cousin. I will hold you close through my life. I'll remember the times we had as kids - fishing with Mama, playing in the pool, 4th of July celebrations, Superbowl parties at Grandma's house, and on and on and on. It's difficult to think of you as no longer here. But really, you ARE here with more knowledge and power and love than we could ever fathom. You were a good Son, Brother, Father, Nephew, Cousin, Friend, and Soul. You being gone creates a gap in all our lives, but the fact that you are safe, and possibly with Grandma brings me comfort. Please look over Your Children, Your Brother, Your Mother, Your Father, Your Friends, and guide them through the coming years. Bring them solace through your quiet touch. Let them know you're ok.
You are missed Ryan, but never EVER forgotten.
We shall meet again. Maybe in beautiful field with the sun on our cheeks.
All my love forever,
Your Cousin Megan.

The passing of someone so young is unthinkable. Ryan made his parents so proud of him with all of his accomplishments. My kids used to play with Ryan and Garrett alot when they were younger and they both adored him. He was a wonderful big brother to Garrett, he protected him and always had his back. They say that no one ever dies if there is someone left to remember and when there is no one left to remember we will all be together again. I'm sure there are basketball courts up there. Love, Cynthia Curalli and Family.

At the 'ole high school basketball games, it was such a sight to see Ryan--he was a natural talent, such a graceful giant. My heart goes out to Ryan's parents: I understand your pain and empathize, since I too have outlived my son.

It is always so sad to lose a loved one, especially when they are as young as Ryan. So many people have such kind things to say about Ryan and I hope he rests in peace and his memory is kept alive for his children. My thoughts are with you. (cousin)

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Loving memories live on forever. The last memory I have of Ryan was the day I ran into him and his son as he taught him how to swing a bat...It was one of those "dad" moments...I asked if he had any tips for me and he said "Yeah, stick to pitching". Ryan will be missed, but never forgotten...

I remembe Ryan as a great kid who loved basketball and loved his family. I saw him recently, and the only thing that had changed was his newest love--his son. How proud he was! So sad that he's been taken so young. My heartfelt condolences to Roger, Marcy and Garrett, as well as his children and fiance.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Keep Ryan alive to his son, speak of him everyday and remind him how much he loved him. To think he wont be here to see him become that great football/basketball player sickens me. I'm praying without cease for the family's healing.

RIP Ryan. You will be missed! I never forgot about you from high school. I always would tell my friends and family about how you always wore shorts no matter the weather. It would be 10 degrees below zero and Ryan would have on some basketball shorts and gym shoes. He loved basketball and he was a sweet person. RIP Ryan

We send our condolences to the entire Power family. You all have been in our prayers and will stay in them. Ryan was a great friend to me and my brothers, as well as my wife. I can't tell you how many evenings we were in his backyard playing ball and the many "Soulfood Saturdays" we were at. Once Pops put the lights up, I didn't think that we would ever leave that backyard! Those are the memories that a person holds onto for a lifetime. He will always be remembered and never forgotten! We pray God gives all of you the strength to get through this. We love you and God Bless!
