I am Ryan's aunt. I have so many memories of Ry that I can't pick just one to share.
I do want to say that Ryan was so much fun to be around. From dancing in Target as a little boy when he saw Back Street Boys action figures to singing and dancing in my toyhauler when we were camping he was always trying to make people happy.
He was also loyal, kind, protective, generous, and loving. From spending time with his family to hanging with his friends Ryan gave freely of himself. He never forgot my birthday. I would receive a text or phone call on my bday and he always ended with either I love you or I miss you.
That being said I will strive to be more like him and plan to "live like Ry". I love Ryan so very much and will miss him for the rest of my life.

I met Ryan in 2016 and we worked together at 5 years at G&G Environmental. He was an amazing coworker and dear friend. We will all remember him as a caring and compassionate young man and will miss him dearly. Rest in paradise my friend.

I´ve known Ryan for so many years just being close friends with his sister Lex. My favorite memories of him are just him being a classic little brother with his older sister´s friends around. He would always barge into her room, make fun of us for something or give Lex a hard time and then leave the room laughing. He would walk around the house in ridiculous outfits or doing random accents and was just always his goofy, menace self. His laugh was so contagious and is one you can´t forget.
There were countless times that I remember where he´d leave the house late at night with his wetsuit and surfboard in hand and we thought he was crazy for leaving to surf in the dark. Regardless, he always had friends right behind him down to do the same thing which showed how loyal he was to those around him and vice versa. He was also just always down for an adventure and maybe a little adrenaline haha.
Even though I was Lex´s friend, he always made an effort to make those around him feel included. He would frequently invite us to hang out with his friends, go to his parties, or just simply come hang out with us while we were sitting in his parents kitchen talking.
Aside from him joking a lot, he was always so sweet and caring to me, the people his sister kept close, and just everyone around him. He had a way of making everyone feel like family.
Just knowing him, you knew he cherished the people around him, ESPECIALLY his family and friends. He will be extremely missed but I know there are SO many memories that´ll keep him alive all around us.
I´ve always considered Lex, Ryan, Gyna, and Steve like my second family, my heart is with you all, love you guys<3<3

Ryan was a friend of my son Christian Roth. He was a wonderful kid who became a greater man. When he was younger and hung out with Christian , Bobby Sewell and other kids from the neighborhood they would call him Rydollar. It had been a few years and he stopped by and now hes all grownup,
I say Hi rydollar as he smiled at me and said Wow I haven't heard that in a while and laughed. I had gone through 2 back surgeries. Everytime i saw him he would asked how I was doing if my back was better. I was so impressed by him that i think of that all the time. Heres a young kid hanging out with my son that showed me that even as a kid he was compassionate, caring as i truly felt the sincerity when he asked.
Ryan was funny, always smiling, laughing , caring and he accomplished so much in his life.
Ryan will be greatly missed, we are thankful for all the memories we have and will carry them in our hearts always.
My condolences go out to his parents, sister and their family.

When Ryan was just a year old, he stood on the driver´s seat of a Von´s Grocery Truck. His little hands holding onto that big steering wheel, then blowing that semi´s horn! You could hear it throughout the neighborhood! That chunky faced little guy had the biggest eyes and a smile from ear to ear! For weeks, every semi truck driver he saw, was his Papa.
Ryan went on living his life with kindness, joy, adventure, and determination. Mike and I were privileged to be his Grama and Grampa Gerard

Growing up side by side with my cousins was my favorite part of childhood. I always loved going over to my Aunt Gina´s.. it was my home away from home. Ryan was the only boy between us four but we always had fun no matter what. Ryan always had a smile on his face and lit up any room. He will forever be missed but never forgotten. I love you Ryan..
Until we meet again.

Ryan was always very supportive of my journey as a teacher. He donated a book and a few other supplies to my new classroom this year. I will let my students know that the book was donated by such a caring and thoughtful friend.

I´ve know Ryan for an insane amount of years but my first memory was picking him up from high school with his sister Alexis because he didn´t want to walk in the heat. I have tons of memories of him roasting me on a daily basis when he was in highschool just being hilarious! I miss those days at the house just eating Ledgends and be chaotic making Gina and Steve go crazy cause we were all so loud and obnoxious! I truly miss being so young and hanging out at Ryan and Alexis house! The family dynamic they created made me feel at home I felt like Ryan was my brother and Alexis was my sister and Gina and Steve were my parents all four of them have made a huge impact in my life and continue to do so! Ryan was one of a kind and will never be forgotten! I know when I see Ryan again he will have some great roasting material for me!!
