Ry fry, I miss you so much brother. Not a day goes by I don't think of you. Whether it's a memory that makes me laugh or just a sudden thought of you that makes it hard to breathe. I try everyday to not be selfish and accept your in a better place but I just want to see you so badly. I want tohear you laugh one more time. It always brought a smile to my face no matter how I was feeling. We understood one another on a deeper level then most. Our birthday is coming up and just not sure how ist going to feel without you here. I know you will be in my heart and I guess that had to be good enough. I can't wait to see you again. Love you always ry guy.

Ryan, it has been a little over 6 months that you have not been here physically and I am still not ready to accept that; I do not think I ever will be. Everyday when I wake up I have to remember this nightmare is reality and I just don't know how to cope. You were my best friend and the love of my life from the moment we made eye contact. I have never felt more of myself then when I was with you. We always said destiny brought us together and it will keep us together. We always picked right back up where we left off, time never was a problem for us, until now. Knowing that there is so much time until I see you again pains me everyday. Words can not even begin to express all the love we had for each other. Even through our choice of words, months with out speaking, or others distracting us, we always came back to each other. Your Mom and Dad raised a wonderful man and I thank God everyday they brought you into this world. Your laughter, your smile, your really really deep voice to make me laugh when I was sad. Your smell, your eyes that always gave away what you were thinking, your hands, how much awe I was in, knowing that with a few strums you could make beautiful music on any instrument and seconds later fit perfectly together in mine, like a puzzle piece. The love we shared some people wait their whole lives for it and still never achieve what we had. We will always have February and I will be there every year remembering our life and our story. The life we once dreamed. One day, we will have all of that again. Until then, keep my side warm. I will be your Pook, your penguin, yours forever and always.
Sailboats and Sunsets.

I love you!

Today is 6 months. I miss you more today then yesterday. My heart is shattered. I love you Ryan! I wish you could come home so I could be whole again. I miss the laughter, the singing, most of all I miss your smile!!!!! So much has changed, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. I love you!!!!
March 14, 2015
For you and Little Man, you will be missed and loved every day of my life! You are always on my mind,and in my heart!

Jim and Ann,
We are so sorry to hear of Ryans passing. Our hearts hurt for your loss. As we heard of this sad news, I remembered a little boy that would come to the company picnics with an adorable infectious smile. He always warmed our hearts. Thank you for sharing pictures of your son. May your loving memories help you and your entire family cope with this unbearable loss.
Many Blessings and prayers,
Lisa and Steve Sibbio

Although I never met Ryan, his Grandmother, Catherine Bell, spoke lovingly of him. She told me about all the nice things he did for his family. He will be missed.

On January 19, 2015, a bright light was extinguished. My grandson's beautiful blue eyes closed never to open again on this Earth. He brought me so much joy. I will never stop missing him. When I put a cd on, I loved to hear him sing along with it. He brought sunshine into my old house. Ryan was never judgmental, always compassionate and sweet. He never left my house without saying " I love you, Gram ". I, in turn, professed my love for him. When it's my turn to depart this Earth I know he will be waiting with out stretched arms to help me over the threshold. Until then my sweet boy, sleep with the angels. I will love you forever.
Your Gram

My sympathies. Ryan was a good kid i've known for years. Sad that he was taken so young. My best to you Anne, Jim, Shannon, Chris, et al. Kevin sorely misses his friend, and is heartbroken he couldn't see him one more time as well.

GOD SAW YOU WAS GETING TIRED, AND CURE WAS NOT TO BE.
SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND WHISPERED "COME TO ME"
WITH TEARFULL EYES WE WATCHED YOU, AND SAW YOU PASSED A WAY.
ALTHOUGH WE LOVED HIM DEARLY, WE COULD NOT MAKE YOU STAY.
A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING, HARD WORKING HANDS AT REST.
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US,
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
Our Condolences
