Mr. and Mrs. Hart,
It has been several years since we've last spoke and I am saddened to greet you at this time. I feel so deeply about Ryan's passing and wish I would've known sooner to support your family at the service. I do have wonderful memories of Ryan and I playing together :) I remember your white cat Cotton and Mr. Hart reviewing the 1st grade multiplication flash cards with us. Ryan would hold his fingers up to give me the wrong answer and I always thought he'd been right:)I remember Ryan getting caught sneaking his brothers audio tapes at the time (no cd's then) and James chasing him upstairs. And of course his karate classes and you both told him to not practice on his little friend Erica :)These thoughts make me smile and I know they will find some means to comfort you as well. Your all in my thoughts and prayers... God Bless,

We just heard about Ryan today.
Wishing we could've given you all a big hug. Erica said she was just thinking of him the other day. We were reminiscing of Erica and Ryan growing up in Minerva Park and going to school together. Just know that you are in our prayers and God is taking care of Ryan.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Ryan's family. Ryan and I were best freinds for many years and fell out of touch over the years. I wish that I had found out sooner because I would have liked to have paid my last repects. He will be missed.

Dear Karen and Family,
I have been out-of-town and was just looking at the Dispatch online and couldn't believe what I read regarding your son's death. Oh my heavens, I am so sorry for you all. I can only keep you all in my prayers and thoughts at this time. I am sure that when your son entered heaven his grandma, grandpa and aunt were there to hug him. Love and Blessings to you.

I would like to express my sympathy to you all,I recently got to know Ryan within the last few months from working together with him at Achbach. We worked beside one another on various tasks, we would at times sit back and talk/joke about alot of things, I had got a chance to be in his personal presence also by going with him to his girlfriends house, also even met up w/him & his friends a few times to go out at night. I know how it feels to loose a loved one and would like to say he would be missed from work and wish I had more time to be around someone like him.

It has been nearly eighteen years since we had seen the Hart family together during a high school graduation celebration. I suppose Ryan would have been around eight or so when his older brother and our son had celebrated their high school graduation in 1989. As a parent, I can not image the emptiness that a loss of a child can bring upon a family. But, a truth I'm certain of is that our Savior can help fill the emptiness by surrounding you with friends, family, faith, and hope. The Lord will provide a gentle healing balm as you prepare for Ryan's memorial. Our prayers and thoughts are with you Jim, Karen, James, and family during this time of loss and reflection. May God extend his comforting arms around you all at this time.

My heart is heavy for all of you. The loss of a child is a mother's greatest nightmare.
I am sure God is watching over all of you during this difficult time. Be assured that Ryan is safe in the arms of Jesus and with his beloved grandparents.
May God strengthen you during this time of sorrow. I am so glad that our family had the time and years to watch our children grow. I thought of Ryan as another son. He was always warm and loving. He spent many days in our home. Our daughter Sandi is deeply grieved. She will miss him always.
May God Bless you always and know that your friends will always be there for you. Our prayers are with you.

Ryan was a wonderful person and I will always remember the good times when we were inseperable as children. We may have traveled down different roads in life but his friendship traveled with me. I would like to let everyone know that Ryan meant to world to me and always will. May he Rest In Peace.

Our love, thoughts and prayers to you Karen and Jimmy. We have many fond memories of our boys playing baseball together some 10+ years ago and being reacquainted a couple years back. Ryan was a handsome young man and we were so saddened with the news. It hit home with Brad being his teammate and his friend. May God bring your family peace and a calm in knowing Ryan is safe with his grandparents and our Lord now. May each tear we have shed for our sons come back a blessing somehow. love to you!

Ryan was in my company in fire school last fall. He did everything with passion and intense love for the job. Ryan was a wild guy, but when it came to work he was one to count on to get the job done and have your back. I just hope that Ryan got the chance to do the job he loved before he was taken from this world. I count him as a brother and will never forget him.

Karen, Jimmy, James,
Know that Jesus is with you all and wants to hold you in the palm of His hand. Turn to Him in your sorrow and He will give you peace.
My heart aches for all of you, but know that Ryan is in a much better place filled with love, joy, fulfillment, and peace.

I was the guy that was driving the cadillac that was traveling behind Ryan when he had his accident. I quickly got out of my car to see if I could do anything, there was nothing I could do. There is nothing I can say or share on here to express my deep sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with Ryan's family.

Please accepts our deepest sympathies for your loss, I live in an apt complex on Old 161/ Cherry Bottom Rd. If this is where your bloved son was taken please know that I would have given anything to have been able to just let him know that I was there, as a mother of a 24 yr old son to know if anything happened to him that there would be a caring hand or thought to guide him. I can't begin to know your pain but if this was your son and I hope there were no others that day, I said a prayer for his journey as well as yours.
