So incredibly sad and sorry for Ryan's passing.
He was always nice and gentle around me, his neighbor. We enjoyed many chats, boat rides and bonfires. It was a horrible shock to wake up to.
May he rest in peace, and may The God of All Comfort, reveal himself to the family and loved ones. He alone is our eternal Hope, Joy, and Peace.
