The angels came and called his name and took him by the hand. We know he is no longer in pain. He is loved by many and so many memories.
Ryan was a proud member of Union 312 Local Sheet Metal Workers and Iron Workers, Union Local 27 for over 20 years. He worked in North Dakota on the oil rigs. Ryan was an amazing artist, his metal work was unique and beautiful. He could look at something and turn it into an amazing work of art.
Ryan had many lifetime friends in his short stay on Earth. He could put a smile on anybody's face.
