Memories and Condolences

Ryan was a good worker and a good person. He struggled with many things but always managed to give the people around him hope of what he could accomplish. He carried out tasks I would give him very well, better than I could do myself. He really enjoyed kids, too. My son looked up to him and always thought he was cool. I thought he was cool too. I cared for him like he was a brother. I did not know the best way to help him and regret that I did not try to spend more time with him as I truly did care about his well being. My sympathy and condolences go out to the family who never lost hope or faith and always loved unconditionally through the good times and bad just as God asks us all to do but only few seem to carry it out.

Ryan quickly became part of the family after moving in next door. We grew to love him and we always will. Never a dull moment with "Ranger Dean". So many good times and so many laughs. We'll miss him dearly.

Pam and Ken,
I didn't know your son, but I am sure he had the most wonderful parents a child could have. You are a Godly example and we are praying for all the strength the Lord can provide for both of you and your families in this sad hour. Please know that many people are lifting you up at this very moment.

Ryan was such an amazing person, who made friends with anyone he met. I had known Ryan for many years, and the memories of all of us hanging out will always be in our thoughts. He will always have the nickname "Ranger Dean" for his love of the outdoors. To his parents and family, you will be in my thoughts and prayers,
