Ron and Sue-
My heart aches for the loss of your son Ryan. May you find the Love and Support from Family and friends in this time of sorrow. I was lucky to have met all of you through coaching Ryan in baseball at Mel Ott. As a coach we do our best to make sure a player and a team are one. Ryan who was one of our older players at the time, was respected by everyone. I remember the smile he brought with him so often to the ball park. I know some members of the team, including Patrick, gravitated to him because of his openness and sincerity. May you find comfort in God's Grace and may you find peace in this difficult journey. Sincere Condolences-

R.I.P Ryan. Always had a smile on his face, always made me laugh! All he ever wanted to do was make people laugh! He had a kind gentle soul. He is truly missed. Just the other day we were talking of meeting up again, oh how I'd wish I'd met up with him much sooner... we were always in touch and hung out quite frequently. He was just a kid and has a beautiful heart. Only the best of hearts, leave us so soon. I will never forget you ryan and Ill cherish the memories we share! I still can't believe this is real, what a shock...

When I first saw this there were so many tears flowing and I could not bring myself to write. Losing a child is the most difficult thing anyone goes through. As the days, weeks and years go on may you rely on God to help bring you through this horrible tragedy. I am praying for all of you. For your son Ryan may he rip as God now has another beautiful angel in heaven watching over!

Lord, when the world is not enough
for everything I want to hold
And too much
for me to handle on my own,
I take comfort in your everlasting love.
You give me strength
when I have none left to draw from on my own.

Ryan was one of my very first friends at the high school, reached out to me right away. He was a good kid with a good heart. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone has done things that they are not proud of, it's called being human, it's part of life. Ryan is someone to me that never took life too seriously. Always joking, laughing and having fun and that's what we need to remember him by. Once again, good kid, very misunderstood. R.I.P buddy, wherever you are I know it's better than where I'm at. Remember the good times with Ryan people and celebrate the life of this fine man.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Ryan's passing. I remember taking Ryan and TJ to Kissing Bridge and he was so cute and silly. I remember the summer day's they would jump on the trampoline. Maybe Ryan will see my son Matt in heaven. I wish I had the words to take the pain from you. May care love of those around you help you and your family through the days ahead.
