Im so sorry to hear of the loss of Ryan. I acctually spent many years along side him at the race track every winter in the Colliseum in Sedalia. Ryan always had ambition to win and do well racing go karts. I enjoyed seeing him and his dad Joe every week when we would unload and pit in the barns or outside on nice days. If your family needs anything please feel free to contact me, godbless you all.

Dick and Margaret,
There are so many things in life that happen and we can't make sense of them or understand why God would let them occur. He does hear our prayers, though, and will not leave you during your time of sorrow and need. We were so heartsick to hear about Ryan...it's such a tragic loss...praying that God sends the strength that all those who loved him will need to find peace and that his memory will bring smiles. Your church family is there for you...if you need anything just call.
