Ryan was always a wonderful person, growing up with Ryan was exciting for both my brother kyle and myself. Ryan and kyle where the same age and best friends, and every year are family would take us skiing and camping. Ryan was not only my cousin but my brother and I will always have these wonderful memories of him and the fun we had. In these times of sorrow I will always have these memories of growing up with Ryan to look back at and to make me smile. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who mourns for the lost of Ryan Devin Graves, the boy who we all remember for the guy with the wonderful smile.

Dear Denise, Gary, Nolan,& Garrett,

The pain we carry with you during this time is almost unbearable, but know that the family will endure even this. Be strong and use our shoulders to cry on whenever you need support. We will miss "RyanDevinGraves" but try to take comfort in what the priest said at the wake - "Ryan is closer to God right now than any of us".

As always, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Don't hesitate to call us if you need ANYTHING. You are not alone in this.

Love always,

Juleen
