Ryan Thomas Sougstad

There is not a day that goes by that i don't think about you or the times we had.... Love you and miss you so much man.... wish you were here... its not fair

You always are in the back of my thoughts.
That's where your closest childhood friends always are.

I met Ryan while he lived out in Holland. He showed me what it meant to live life fully. He had a poise to him that showed. One time we went riding scooters out in Lansing, and a man asked us for money. I kept riding by and he stopped and gave the man our donut holes. That was the man he truly was. Caring, and a good friend to others. I will forever remember him. Fly high Ryan❤ Thank you for all the good memories.

He was a wonderful Father and loved his daughter, Quinn more than words can express - we will always remember him with our thoughts and prayers ❣

Ryan was one of my closest friends as a child and as teenagers. We were the group of dimondale boys. Looking back I didn't realize how isolated I was from the rest of my school mates. However Ryan alongside our the rest dimondale group of friends were always there. Ryan always had a mischievous smile and joke whether that be in the woods, while playing Playstation, or in the pool. I knew I could depend on Ryan for friendship during weekends and especially during the summer. We always bumped into one another as we grew older saying we have to get together again. Friends would say "Oh you saw 'Sougy' ?". I hope and pray we do get together again in the next life. Ave Maria Pursima. Our Lady of perpetual Hope, pray for us. Amen.
