Ryan Lapp Obituary

LAPP Ryan Lapp went home to be with the Lord on November 2, 2009. He passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus, surrounded by his loving family and friends. Preceded in death by grandfathers James Higgins and Paul Lapp. Survived by his loving parents, Stuart and Susan Lapp; sisters, Rachel and Meredith; grandmothers, Mercedes Higgins and Martha Lapp; and many wonderful aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Though Ryan was born with special needs, he lead a full life and he enriched the lives of those who knew him. He filled our lives with love, joy and peace. Ryan was happiest surrounded by all those who lovingly cared for him. A celebration of Ryan's Life will be held 2:30 p.m. Sunday, November 8, 2009 at NORTHWEST CHAPEL CHURCH, 6700 Rings Rd., Dublin, Oh. Our gratitude and love goes to all those who poured their heart into caring for Ryan so tenderly. Ryan's life was made richer because of each of them. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his memory to Northwest Chapel Church or Worthington Christian Church to further the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Visit www.schoedinger.com to send online condolences to the family.

Sue and family,

I just read of Ryan going home to be with the Lord. My thoughts are with you.

I met your family while working with respite. Ryan truly was a breath of sunshine. So, sweet, so happy.
May your faith and your memories comfort you.

Stu and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved son, Ryan. He was put into your loving arms by God and you were chosen to be his earthly parents. The Lord knew that he was in safe keeping. Now he is at home with his Father and you can be assured he is so safe and loved as he was on earth. With prayers to all of you.

I am so sorry for your loss Stu, Susan, Rachel, and Meredith but it's also a time of rejoicing in Ryan's homegoing and healing in heaven. Can't you just picture him now with Jesus? Running, laughing, dancing! Rest in the fact you will see him again and know you couldn't have loved him anymore than you did when he was here on earth. You are an inspiration to us all.

With love, Becky Chodzin

Stuart & Susan,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been praying for you and your family since we spoke last week, and know that you are grieving tremendously. Ryan was truly a joy to be around when I met him. You and your family were so incredibly amazing to watch how you would interact and love Ryan. I know his life was blessed because God gave him such an incredible family, and your lives have been blessed because you were given an amazing son. I hope you sense God's presence in the many days ahead of you. Love and Prayers, Lisa Siders

So sorry Susan and Stu about Ryan moving on to his permanent home with our Lord. Ryan was a happy person with a loved-filled life because of the loving care you both surrounded him with. Rest assured he is probably happily running nonstop right now.
