You were absolutely loved. Thank you for always being you. My condolences to the family and friends.

I wish I could have met you, but am convinced one day I will. I have heard of so much love, light, and joy you brought into the world through your family. You are so loved. May the perpetual light now shine on you Rygh Fortkamp and grant you peace.

You are all in my prayers, thoughts and heart!!! I love you all so much!! My heart is just so broken!! Rip Rygh!! Love Aunt Mindi

Melissa....
I know this is excruciating for you, and you are so overwhelmed by all of this. Soon you will be able to rest and I hope you do...and know that as extended family we are all here to support you and love you! I am so sorry you have lost this beautiful soul.

I still have your baseball glove, I'll cherish it brother.

The Good Lord Jesus knows and loves each one of us. May he comfort you in these painful and difficult days, and bring you along the path of healing. Commit every question to him, who alone knows the secrets of the heart. Our prayers are with you all. Love, John and Sharon Glenn , and all the folks at Emmaus, New Testament Church.

I remember us eating Gelatos and walking around Trieste Italy. That was the last we spent time together. I'm so sorry man. I wish I would have cherrished those hours with you a bit more and maybe reached out a little further. I love you brother. I should have said it sooner.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I remember you and Matt attached at the hip. Where you went he went. I clearly remember at this point 6 years back when we made the trip for your weightlifting competition. Matt placed higher, but you didn’t care. You were so proud of him. That’s who you’ve always been, everyones biggest supporter. And your smile, always been soo contagious. We will miss that smile.

We were only privileged to be around Rygh a few times but I will never forget the light that he had about him. He was truly one of the most respectful, intelligent, and sweetest boys I had ever met in my life. Danny and I will never forget the night he gave up his room for us to stay in. I was impressed by him the first time I ever met him. The world has lost a bright light losing him for sure.
We are truly sorry for your loss.
Sending all our love and Christ's comfort to you!

Always looked forward to his sweet smile and easy laugh. What a joy he was to his family, thoughtful and considerate always willing to help. He will be greatly missed. We are so sorry and our hearts go out to the family. We love you all.

Hearing about Rygh’s passing makes me sad. I’m so sorry for your loss. I went to freshman homecoming with Rygh and we dated for a little bit. He was always the life of the party and easy going. I remember during art class senior year he was painting his clay sculpture and spilled glaze all over himself, it was so funny. Rygh always liked to joke around and could make you laugh. RIP Rygh, you will be missed.

I had the absolute privilege to have Rygh as one of my sailors. He was hard working, always smiled and never scared to take on a new task. One of the most respectful young men I have ever served with, I even met his mom at one point and I can see why he was so great. My heart goes out to the entire family.

we are we are so sorry for your loss we loved him like a son we love you Rygh

I am SO very sorry for your families loss. No words can take away the pain and frustration,but I wanted to let you know that my ministry team prayed for peace and understanding for your family today.

Please read Romans 8:38.

It covers EVERYTHING.

I am so sorry and shocked to hear of Rygh’s passing. May God hold rah family member in his arms to help them through their grieving. We met this young man when he was in-grade school . We were visiting his Buening Grand parents and played cards with him. We are sending our sincerest condolences to all his family. His Grandma Juanita would alway keep us updated as he grew up. Hugs & love.
