Ryan Depp Obituary

16, died of unexpected natural causes on Sept. 22, 2010 in Hidden Valley Lake, CA. He is survived by his Mother, Glenda Pyzer (Russ); Father, Rich Depp (Julie); Brothers, Jeremy Depp (SueZann), Sean Depp; Sisters, Shawndre Depp (Jay), Kaitie Depp, Annabel Pyzer, Breanna Pyzer; Grandparents, Jan Beebout, Harry Depp, Ken and Diane Staudinger, Lenard and Rose Pyzer; 11 Aunts; 13 Uncles; 28 cousins; three nephews; Godparents, Leslie Adams and Larry Sark; and numerous other family members and friends. He is preceded in death by his Grandfather, Ed Beebout; Grandmother, Mary Depp. Ryan was born on March 17, 1994 in Santa Rosa, CA. He was always athletic, playing baseball and football, but his great passion was basketball. He was gifted on the court and an absolute joy to watch. Ryan, although only 16, was wise beyond his years. He had many friends in Santa Rosa and Lake County. His friends were from all walks of life, and he loved them all unconditionally. He did not judge others, instead, he managed to see directly into their hearts and find the good in everyone he met. He is known for reaching out to others, being kind to everyone he met, accepting people for who they were, lending a caring ear when needed, warm hugs, his "million dollar smile" which lit up the room, and his love, loyalty, and devotion to his family. An unbelievable legacy for a 16 year old to leave behind! Our hearts ache for this sudden, and painful loss. We all love Ryan with all of our hearts and miss him terribly. We are all blessed, and better people, for having Ryan in our lives to love, and to be loved by. A Memorial Service will be held at the Resurrection Parish Church located at 303 Stony Point Road (corner of Stony Point Rd and W. 3rd St), Santa Rosa, CA. 95401 on October 15th at 3:00 p.m. With open hearts, we invite all who would like to attend. In lieu of flowers, our family would greatly appreciate donations being sent to Camp For A Cure, which is a local baseball camp run by Ryan's Aunt and Uncle. All proceeds go to The American Cancer Society, Lupus Foundation of America, and The American Diabetes Association. www.campforacure.org Checks can be mailed "In honor of Ryan Depp" to: P.O. Box 2623 Rohnert Park, CA. 94927. Ryan's family entrusted arrangements to: JONES MORTUARY, LAKEPORT, CALIFORNIA. WWW.JONESMORTUARY.COM

In elementary school, Ryan always wore this giant Laker's jersey that probably belonged to Sean. He was ALWAYS goofing off, making people laugh even in high school. In all of the pictures I have of him, he isn't looking at the camera, and when he is, he's making a face and messing around. That's the kind of person Ryan was. At turnabout freshman year, only Ryan could make me laugh until I'd dance. You never think the sweet, sweet boy you used to play crossfire with is going to just be gone one day, especially so young.So many people were supposed to learn your name in life, and because of your kind heart, not this tragedy. We're keeping him alive, and we're living so much more for him. My heart is with your family, and you're in my prayers a you have to carry on without your sweet boy.

My sweet boy Ryan....it has been almost 3 weeks and I still can't believe this is happening. I go look in your room each night, hoping I've been dreaming, and walk out in tears. You are son, my joy, my life, my love. I thank you for being such a light in my world, for sharing your heart with me, for turning to me when you were in need, and for being the perfect "mama's boy." You have left a legacy of love and acceptance of others behind you. Many a person could, and should, learn a valuable lesson from your ability to love unconditionally, to see the good in everyone, never pass judgement on another, and reach out when someone was in need. Please watch over us, help our hearts to enure, and be with us as we try to move forward to live the kind of life which would make you proud. I love you my baby...I miss you every moment of the day.
