Happy Heavenly Birthday Ryan.
Colby
June 12, 2023
Daaadddddd, Happy Birthday! Hope... actually I know it´s a party up there.
Was golfing the other day and drove a ball around 350 yards... purest I´ve ever hit. Not a day goes by that I don´t think about how good we would be if there was such thing as a Father-Son scramble tournament. Start tearing up every time I go through your bag.
I miss you so much and it breaks my heart every day because I realize that we were robbed of the life that we should have been living. I could talk for a week straight about all of the things we did, now imagine what we could have done with 50 years more.
Happy Birthday, I love you and miss you and for you I will see you soon.. for me I will keep pushing and moving forward for the both of us until that day comes. I´m proud and honored to be your son, and I´ll say that any day of the week.
-Best Buddy

It's that time of year again when we would start making plans for the hunting season. The memories we shared are embedded in our souls . Sadly, any future plans came to a painful end. I can't even fathom the pain for Colby knowing there will be no more trips with his dad and best buddy. Watch over your children and guide them.
You are missed more than than anyone could have ever imagined. Rest In peace my friend and save a good spot for me on the big mountain.
Colby Souza
August 15, 2017
I miss you so much. Looking through all the memories we had and all the things we did together just makes me so sad that those times are over. I love you and I can't wait to see you again. No matter what happens in life, you will always be my best buddy. I love you.

Hard to believe it's been 3 years already l have been tracing our footsteps at the pig Ranch most of the spring. I was up there this morning and I swear I could hear your voice in wind. Miss your practical jokes and your friendship. See you on that mountain in the sky someday.

"Veni, vidi, vici"
" I came; I saw; I conquered"
I reflect on life in seasons, there are four seasons in a year Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter makeing the measurement of time less shocking, might be a way to deny time of loss or age, you have missed 2 springs, 3 summers, 3 falls and 3 winters less harsh than 1096 days since your departure. Your children are doing well and they shall be your legacy they will conquer wonderful things in this life. Rest with PEACE
Love, Mom

I was outside driving a little remote truck and thought of the truck we drove down the block. I think its name was Monster Pup but I'm not sure. I really miss you dad. Was supposed to go hunting this weekend but it's just not the same without you. I wish you were still here. Love you dad!!!
Colby Souza
July 9, 2016
Dad I miss you so much. All the sports and hunting memories we have. It's been a little more then 2 years and I still feel the same as when it was just a week. I'm really sad that our journey together had to end so quickly. I love you dad!!
May 11, 2016
Two years have passed and the ache is still there. I don't believe that it will truly ever go away. You are missed and loved more than words could ever express.

Ryan,
You are a thousand winds that blow,
A diamond that glints on the snow
Sunlight on ripened grain
A gentle autumn rain
A tiny humming bird that greets the morning light,
A duck that circles in flight,
These things help us understand our pain.
You are the reminders day to day that God is good, and this to I shall endure.
Love, Mom
Nancy

Below the house on the snow in the fields there is at least 100 geese this morning, they are starting to come in. Remembering how much you loved to duck hunt with Colby, a treasured memory for us. You are loved and missed Ryan.
Bill Custer

The weather is perfect for pig hunting, wish you were here.
The memories of those last minute calls from you saying lets go.

Alberta Boran
February 4, 2016
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only Gods knows why,
Our hearts still ache in sadness,
And secret tears will still flow,
What it meant to loose you,
No one will ever know...
Love, Mom
January 23, 2016
Today was a special day for our little girl. She went to her first formal. She looked so beautiful Ry.. You would be proud of the amazing young woman she has become. Wish you were here to share this but I know that you are watching from above. We miss you.

Christmas in Heaven,
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tears,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring,
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones,
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ again this year, so weary from the world, from choices I had made.
I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than gold,
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
For I can't count the blessings or love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the tears,
Remember I spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
Love Mom

Hi Ry,
It has been 567 days since you took your journey to join our Heavenly Father, and yet it seems as if it we're yesterday. Missed, Loved and a void no mother should ever experience, I am not the first nor shall I be the last to join a club as the unknown, when you loose your husband you are a widow, when you loose your wife you are a widower, when you loose your parents you become a orphan yet Webster nor Oxford dictionaries can provide a definition for what a parent in this situation becomes?
Rest in peace and join our Heavenly Father to restore peace on this planet earth. Stay close to your children, watch over them!
Love Mom
Bill Custer

Miss you Ryan.
Another deer and elk season has past, and it just wasn't the same
without you being a part of it. Your favorite part of the year is here. Every time the geese fly over honking in the sky, I feel your
presence knowing that sound you could make better than most.
Reading your moms entries really gets to me when she shares Colby's life without you. He is growing so fast and has done more in his short life than most his age due to you teaching him how to hunt like his dad. Watch over all your family and friends and help us understand why. Till we meet again, Bill

Hi Ry, wanted to share with you a piece of Colby's school work as one of the keeper of your memory here we go.

Narrative Essay
"Yes it's a boy!" said my dad. On July 16, 2003 I was born at Saint Agnes Hospital. My dad was so happy to see me and so was I. He almost started to cry. At that point I knew that we would have the best relationship. Our relationship grew through hunting, sports, and going to Disneyland together.
When I turned around 4 years old my dad taught me how to hunt. Some of the main animals we hunted for were deer, ducks, and dove. The reason why I
started to like going hunting with my dad was because, he got me a BB gun for my 5th birthday. After that I was known as a
killer machine.
After I learned how to hunt, my dad started to teach me how to play sports. He taught me how to play football, baseball, and a little bit of basketball. My dad was a coach for me ever since I was in Kindergarten, when I was 6 years old. I have to admit my dad was the best coach in all sports.
When I turned 9 years old my dad took me to Disneyland. He used to take me twice a year until it got really expensive. We always had the biggest turkey leg in the world. Unfortunately that was the last time my dad and I ever went to Disneyland together again. Unfortunately on May 10, 2014 my dad passed away. The lesson that I learned in life is to enjoy the time you have with someone because it doesn't last forever. I knew that we would have the best relationship, and we did.
This is just an example of the pure thoughts your children share, they are doing good but your loss is apparent at times with a blank look or a tear welling in their eyes, Colby and Kaylee are enjoying their school year with football games, dances. Please stand a bit closer these next few months with the holidays coming up your absents will be harder.
Your missed by your mom and I think of you daily. I know your resting in peace and that gives me peace.
Love, Mom

Ryan, I made your favorite enchilada casserole on your birthday. Your Elk Grove family have been thinking of you all week. We miss you terribly. I am happy that your Guestbook has been left open by your mother and Colby. It really has helped all of us keep you close. Rest well, my Son. Love always, your Mom Karen and family.

Ryan, You left a lot of heavy hearts behind. If not for the memories you left family and friends it would be much harder. I noticed the guest book is about to expire and wanted to leave one more to let you know that we all miss you and think of you often. Your children are growing up so fast. This may be my last guest book entry, but I will continue to send messages from the heart. See you again someday Ryan. Watch over all of us until then.
Signing off as the CrazyElkHunter, the name you gave me in Colorado when you were 20.

I miss my friendRyan I know you are in a better place, but you left us way too soon brother, and left an empty space in our hearts & minds! I miss you, my hunting buddy! I miss the calls, the texts, the laughs, the advice, the pics of various hunting escapades and the numerous visits to reload ammo at my houseand just the all around fun times we had together.If there is a Boone & Crockett or Pope & Young Book in HeavenI'm sure your name is already in the books Brother!

Today the kids and I are walking around with heavy hearts. I can't believe a year has passed. It still seems like yesterday when our lives were forever changed. So much has taken place in the kids lives since you left and I still find myself wanting to call or text you to share the news and I don't know if that will ever change. Kaylee is taller than me now and she has become such a beautiful young woman on the inside as well as the outside. Colby is playing ball and he is a WALL behind the plate. You would be so proud of both of the kids. I wish you were here to see it all, but I know that you are watching from above. You are with us where ever we go... Whether through a song on the radio or up in the sky when the Geese fly over head and we hear that lovely sound that will always remind us of you. We miss you Ry more than words could ever express!! You are truly loved by so many. You may be gone, but I promise you will never be forgotten. We love you❤

Ryan, It's was a year ago this week you stopped by my house to visit and show me pictures of all the stripers you caught on the Delta. I had no clue that would be our last talk. You seemed ok, smiled and proudly showed me your wedding ring when I asked how you were doing. Miss your crazy ways, hunting, golfing and fishing with you. I know you are in a better place but the pain in our hearts is still there. Till we meet again, Bill

I have been thinking of you quite often lately. Your children bring joy to all those who are fortunate enough to know them. Their love for you never fading. I hope you have found your piece of heaven and comfort in the Lords arms. Your mom is still the rock she always was for your children. Her mothers love for you never wavers I hope you are able to embrace that feeling she sends heavens way.

The kids woke up bright and early this morning to find that Santa had visited once again. They had smiles on their faces, but a sadness in their eyes. No matter how many presents they open, they know that the one they want the most will not be there. The kids take a little comfort in knowing that you get to wish Jesus a Happy Birthday face to face. Merry Christmas Ry!! You are missed more than words can say.
Alberta Boran
December 24, 2014
Merry Christmas Ryan,
I told the kids not to allow your being gone to hinder their Christmas Day, but to rejoice knowing you've received a VIP invitation in heaven to celebration the reason for this season! You are in the arms of Jesus, who was born this time of year, died and rose again so we could live in the light of everlasting peace.
I love you,
Mom

Ryan, The mountains, the lakes, the marshes are not the same without you. This Thanksgiving, a few more wild turkeys and deer are still running around in the hills because a very talented and gifted hunter was not there to give them a dirt nap.
You used to say I was like a father to you, and I miss that.
Till we meet again, miss you Ryan.

Well Ryan, tomorrow we celebrate Thanksgiving, you will not be missed anymore on this day than you are MISSED on any given day, the lack or your presents has effected all of us in many different ways You were loved,
You are loved and we truly miss you. The beginning of the holiday season will ach our minds, for our hearts have been broken with your passing, you so enjoyed this time of the year. I still shake in shock that you are gone, it is only through faith and these words when we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be, when we all meet Jesus we will sing and shout a song of victory, that allows me to accept your departure. I Love You! Love, Mom
November 10, 2014
I can't believe that it has already been six months.. Everyone says that with time wounds will heal and the pain will lessen. I wish that were true. You are loved and truly missed each and every day!

Ryan,
A year ago today you married a beautiful girl and asked me to be part of your wedding. It was a lovely weekend. I will always be grateful for your love and loyalty, Son. We all miss you more than we can say. Please rest. I love you, Mom Karen
September 10, 2014
September 10th
Today marks 4 months you left your earthly family and joined our Heavenly Father, I know your safe and hurt will no longer touch your heart. As I was going to your body's resting place these words echoed in my mind "a part of me died" an old cliche, I must admit it took on a whole new definitation, you we're blood of my blood and flesh of my flesh for nine months you grew inside of me, God knew the number of days and years I would have you, so when you died a part of me truly died, if we only knew how many days our loved ones would be with us we would hold a bit tighter and longer, speak more from our hearts not our emotions.
Still waiting for the marker to be placed on your body's earthly resting place, I know when your name is seen chiseled in stone another awakening will be revealed. Rejoice in the arms of angles, you are free from the earthly temptations of Evil. Love you and miss you.
Love Mom
September 9, 2014
i miss you so much. even though it has been 4 months, it seems like yesterday i was told a part of me had died. it is not getting easier and the pain is not going away. they say the first year is the hardest but it seems like the pain will never go away and will always haunt me. please watch over your family and be their guardian angel guiding them through life and protecting them from harm. let them know you are with them.

Sunday September 1, 2014 just like the past 20 years I was awaken to the sound of eager hunter shooting their doves opening day of dove season, the difference with this opening day you were not out there. Kaylee celebrated her 13th birthday, you have a beautiful young daughter, I'm not telling you anything you our watching her from above, she misses her Daddy like crazy that does not surprise any of us you were her Daddy she loves and misses you!

13 years ago today, God blessed our lives with the birth of our precious baby girl. She was so eager to meet her Mommy and Daddy that she arrived 9 weeks early. I can still remember the first time you held her in your arms. In a matter of seconds, this little 3.9 pound bundle of joy had her Daddy head over heels in love and completely wrapped around her little finger. Thank you for giving me so many memories to cherish and for blessing me with such an amazing Daughter! You are missed more than words can express...
August 27, 2014
Still can't believe your gone miss you.
August 24, 2014
Heard a song today that reminded me of the times when you we're little and we danced on rose colored carpet, it seems as if that was just yesterday. You are truly missed, the bite of your sudden departure still seems impossible I believe I'm still in shock. Keep your arms around the kids as they go back to school and keep them safe.God Bless youn, Ryan I Love You!

Yesterday was opening day of deer season in California. Even though I rarely hunt in Calif. anymore I always was anxious to see the big bucks you shoot every year and the trail cam pics of several more. Several years in a row I would be sitting in elk camp in Colorado and you would text me to see how my hunts going and share your success. This year will be rough, because I know I am not going to hear from you. Thanks for the memories Ryan, we all miss you.
August 16, 2014
I had no idea you passed, and I still am fuzzy on what happened so I'm not sure if you were sick, I don't even know who to ask. But I pray you did not go through pain. And I know no matter what happened you are at peace in heaven watching over all of us. I know God welcomed you with a smile directing you to the nearest area to hunt or fish. My heart breaks for your wife, seeing her posts, she loves you so much. I've never seen a more devoted and loving wife/mother. Your children will be forever blessed since you brought her into their lives. Seeing your children's posts on here brought me to tears. You were a good daddy. I'm glad they're old enough to have experienced some amazing memories with you, but I wish you could watch them grow more. The good are taken from us at such a young age, you had so much more to live. Please watch over your children and Kathryn. They all need your strength. Love you Ry, Rest In Peace...

So I bought a squirell call I know that sounds weird, but I've been into hunting since you started telling me about it. Just bought a 10/22 and am all camo'ed out when I varmint hunt. Steve from work said, "Suaza rubbed off on you didn't he" and must say you sure did can't stop listening to the lacs either they rock! You will forever be a role model in my life bro.

Took a ride over Tioga Pass yesterday Ryan. The last time I did that it was with you and Colby and there was 2 1/2 feet of snow on the road. Our tire tracks were the only ones on the road.
Thanks for the memories Ryan! The mountains, rivers and lakes are full of them. Leaving for Colorado in a few weeks for my annual elk hunt and will ever forget the 1st year I took you. It was your 1st elk hunt and only 19 years old with a full head of hair.
Miss you buddy!

My thoughts are with you and your family every day Ry. I speak to your dad often and he was so proud of you and the man you became!
July 16, 2014
11 years ago today God blessed us with the birth of our precious little man. I can't believe he is turning 11. It seems like just yesterday when they put him in our arms for the very first time.. I can still remember the expression on your face.. You were so proud and had already planned your first duck hunt with him. Those memories will never be forgotten and Colby will cherish those duck hunts forever..
Thank you Ry for giving me such an amazing gift!! You will never be forgotten...

Ryan - We are thinking of you on this July 4th weekend. This was one of your favorite holidays. The fireworks were for you this year. With love from your Elk Grove Family
July 5, 2014
There are no words to express how much you are missed and loved!! It doesn't seem real.. I feel like you are on a long vacation and any day now you will be walking through the door to tell us about the amazing hunting trip you took. I know that it's not real, but I would give anything to make it real??
I pray that you remain a guardian angel to the two beautiful children left behind and continue to comfort them by surrounding them with your loving arms!! They need you Ry
Today, Always and Forever

Miss you man! It was the 4th of July today and I remember working with you last summer and you seen all those flags laying behind a teachers desk. You grabbed them and hung all 10 of them up even putting a few throught the wall. Now everytime I see an american flag I make sure to hang it up wherever I'm at in memory of you. Rest in peace, I'll see you in heaven

As I think of Ryan the song,"There Will Be Peace In The Valley For Me" comes to mind.
This excerpt in particular “There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh, Lord, I pray
And there'll be no sadness and no sorrow, no trouble I see,”.
Ryan has peace. He will forever surround Kaylee, Colby and your family with his presence, all will feel it in the wind as it whistles, the quack of a duck, the hairs that stand on end, a chill that passes through them, a simple penny on the ground. No words can cure the sorrow your family feels. I pray that in days to come memories fill your hearts and you find comfort there.
With Love and Comfort,
David, Lydia & Family
