Ryan I love you very much. We grew up together, owned are first apartments together and got in-trouble together. Through all the good and bad , no matter what, If I called you came. You were always my friend and loved me unconditionally. You are the true definition of the word friend and I will live on in your name. You introduced me to my current wife, and although we were only cousins somehow my son looks just like you. I am thankful for that. I know the last few years were rough on you and no one is perfect. But who is perfect? Through this I choose to learn something as appose to dwell on this unexpected event. I choose to not wait to be a better man, husband or father. I choose to be thankful for your smile and the way I could call you and you would stop everything and answer. Tomorrow is not a given and I think we take that for granted. I miss you dearly and ny prayers go out to the family. I love you Ryan.

I am so sorry to hear of Ryan's passing. I taught Ryan at Peninsula Catholic High School. He had a kind heart and his family was everything to him. I can see the smile in his eyes matches the smile on his face. I will pray for you all.

Dear Debbie, Curt, Michael & Melissa ~ When I saw Ryan's obituary this morning, my heart just broke for you. This is a terrible loss. I know you all must be devastated. You have such a wonderful, loving family. As your neighbor and your friend, I have observed the loving way you have always opened up your hearts and your home to those who are in need. I will always remember Ryan as one with a good heart and such a friendly smile ~ he looks like you, Debbie. I remember his little boys, how cute they were, and I remember Christina and what a nice young girl I thought she was. Your family is truly an example of what a loving, caring family should be. I know you are aching and hurting and want Ryan back with you now, but Ryan has gone to be with his Lord. He will always be with you in your heart and one day, you will see him again. Until then, may God bless you and help you at this most difficult time in your lives. With love,

My thoughts and prayers are with you as I was so saddened to read of Ryan's passing. I taught Ryan at Trinity (2nd grade) and always appreciated his fun-loving personality. To Susan and Joe- Ryan was very fortunate to have you both in his life. You were so dedicated to him. God Bless...
