Mr. Michael John Ryan

Yes, I remember the day
It was on the mourn
That I saw a ship a sailing
The sea was calm
The winds were fair
Home port was nigh
Michael still young
And he was at the rail
With shipmates once again.---rs

So sorry to hear about Mike´s passing. You guys did so much together and we know he will be missed.

We will miss Michael down on the Portland. He was always a tireless volunteer who was a pleasure to work with. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. We mourn your loss.

Michael, you were a force of nature and an impressive paramedic. Rest in peace.

Michael was one of the first paramedics I worked with at Buck Ambulance. He taught me allot and I leaned how to intuitively work as a team. I also recall celebrating St. Patty's day at his home by throwing records out on the street . . . not sure what the tradition meant :).

We had some good times and some bad times. I remember some pretty hilarious calls and a few really sad ones. The lady having the baby on her front lawn as we led her to the ambulance was one of those good times. The kid on the motorcycle was not. Loved seeing you on the marathons when I was covering it as a bike medic. How you could talk and run at the same time always amazed me. RIP buddy. You were an exceptional partner.

So hard to handle that we lost another Ryan. I will add Michael to my prayers. Time goes by fast so appreciate every day, Even on the hard days. Not real good at trying to write a sappy reply when you are grieving, been there done that. It just plain hurts. Best to all my cousins down there in Portland hope life is good for you and things are well. If you run into Donald give him a slap on the back and tell him I said hi, growing up him and I did get in a lot of trouble. But those are the good times that I remember....

So sorry to hear of Michael's death. The best memory I have of Michael is he and his brother Donald racing a motorcycle up and down Grant Street in Portland after our Grandfather Ryan's funeral. We were all a lot younger then. Cheris the good memories.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
