Ryan, I love and miss you so much. I miss your smile and the way that you always kissed me and said I love you Papaw. There will always be an empty space in my broken heart because I will no longer get that kiss and hear you say I Love you Papaw. I love you also Ryan and always will....Your Papaw.

RyRy you are amazing. I'll never forget all the memories from elementary all the way up thru high school. Its so unfair to see you go. But we'll all keep our heads held high because we'll see you again someday! In the meantime, watch over us with that goofy grin of yours. ALWAYS loved, NEVER forgotten!

Ryan you entered my life only a fews short months ago but it seems like a life time ago, I am thankful for what time I knew you and I am a better person for it. I have never known a more happier person I can not remember a single time you walked in the doors at work and did not have a big smile on your face. Work will never be the same without you. Your memory will live forever in our hearts. We love and miss you.

I never knew Ryan Jordan. When I went to Greeneview, I tryed to stay away from most of the kids who were older than me. After hearing of his death, I went searching through yearbooks looking for a familiar picture. Although I had never knew Ryan on a eprsonal level, after reading some of these signings and seeing some friends reactions, I can tell that Ryan was a man who sturck the hearts of many. I am sre he would have done the same for me, hadn't I moved.

Many thanks, Ryan, and rest in peace.

Me and Ryan had 5th period together, and he always found a way to make us laugh. He'd play pranks on our teacher, and one time he did a flip over a chair and landed straight on his back. I hadn't laughed that hard in years. I'm very fortunate that Ryan was a part of my life, and that he gave me so many great moments to look back and laugh about.

Thanks for the memories, Ryan.

I loved me some Ryan! I worked with him at Great Steak for a few months, and knew him a little bit before the store was open. He was a great guy, with good work ethics and was always willing to help other people.

Our Sophmore year Ryan was in my 4th period study hall. He was always happy, I don't think I have ever seen Ryan upset. Jared and him worked all year to unlock the cabinet in Mr.Roach's room, finally towards the end of year Ryan got it unlocked with a paperclip. It was the funniest thing ever, he took a diet coke out and drank it. I will miss you Ryan and you were loved by many, and always will be. It will be different without you here.
