I knew Ryan as a coworker at Hanover Insurance. Ryan was and always will be a very memorable person to me. One thing I can still recall is his his laughter.
Although we hadn't worked together in a few years, we would still say hi to one another whenever we saw each other in the hallway at work.
I was saddened to learn of his passing.
My condolences to his friends and family.

We are so sorry for your loss! Although I have never personally met Ryan, I have worked with him though Hanover. I work for an agency in Franklin, TN whom he has helped with many Hanover accounts. Ryan was one of the best contacts we had at Hanover. He gave 200% daily, responded almost immediately and was one of the most helpful individuals I have ever worked with. It was evident that Ryan deeply cared about every piece of business he touched. We are praying for your comfort at this time. Ryan was an amazing person, I am sure he has touched many lives.

Ryan and I met at work. He was always the most positive, uplifting, and helpful teammate. I constantly said that if anyone could figure out a solution, it would be Ryan! He was always willing to go the extra mile and it showed by the fondness that his coworkers and agents have for him. This makes my heart so heavy, and I will always remember him as a happy and enjoyable spirit. May he bless and watch over all of his loved ones from heaven. Xo.

Whenever Ryan would walk into my house with the girls,(Colleen & Felisha) he would light up the room. He was always so polite and funny. He loved to tease me, but that was ok I enjoyed it. He always had me laughing. I sold my house and I missed his visits. Ryan will always have a place in my heart. I will miss you Ryan, you may Rest In Peace now.

Ryan, no words can express the depths of my sadness. I still can't grasp that you're really gone. You lived and loved so much during your short time here. I fell asleep last night thinking of you with Grammie Claire, Big Daddy, Uncle Sean and Aunt Gail. I know you are with them, and most likely having a beautiful reunion with them. I love you so much.
