Ryan, you were taken from us to soon. But one things for sure you are in a much better place now. It's gonna be hard for everyone to move on. Be that ANGEL that you always were and watch over your mom and everyone. You may not be here in person but you will always be by their side.

My true heartfelt condolences go out to your entire family. I only met Ryan once, he was a friend of my step-daughter, Mariah Thacker. I thought of him then as a well mannered young man and enjoyed having him at our family dinner. You did an amazing job raising him, and I feel honered to have met him.
Deepest Sympathy, Tracy and Ian Thacker- Chesterfield.
