Ryan appreciated all the love, support, compassion, and care shown by Travis and his wife Lauren in the last year while Ryan was living with them. He had a very special place in his heart for his good friends Allen and Jack.

Had the pleasure a year ago to spend a little while with him. The memory that will remain in my heart always was him and his brother talking of their passion for music and rap. They even gave me a rap song which was amazing! They both are highly talented and told me how they have a in home studio where they record their songs. I have never forgotten and he was such a sweet young g man and I know he will be dearly missed .
