Ryan Reynolds Obituary

August 27, 1989 – February 20, 2009

Ryan Thomas Reynolds, 19, of College Station went to be with his Lord on Friday, February 20, 2009. Visitation will be from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, February 22, at Hillier Funeral Home. Services are set for 11 a.m. Monday, February 23, at Grace Bible Church, located at 700 Anderson St. in College Station. Burial will follow at College Station Cemetery.

Ryan graduated from A&M Consolidated High School in May 2008 and was attending Blinn College. He was a member of Grace Bible Church with his family. Ryan was a dedicated and caring friend. He was dependable and hard-working. Ryan was exceptionally intelligent and had many dreams and plans for his life. He loved music, computers and reading and was a deep thinker who intended to use his potential to do great things. He was a beautiful person and those who saw how special Ryan was were better off for having known him.

Ryan gave his life to Christ at an early age and we look forward to seeing our beloved son again one day.

Survivors include his loving parents, Ken and Kimberly Reynolds of College Station; brothers, Joel and Joshua, both of College Station; sisters, Reagan and Jordan, both of College Station; grandparents, Margaret Barnard, John and Rose Fite, all of Longview, Texas, and Rusty Reynolds of College Station; uncle and aunt, Craig and Rosezanna Barnard of Plano, Texas; cousins, Jason Barnard and wife, Nikki, of Irving, Texas, Ashley Barnard, Kimberly Barnard and Robby Barnard, all of Plano, Texas; great-aunt and great-uncle, Margie and George Capps of Daingerfield, Texas; and numerous loving extended family members and friends.

Ryan was my friend someone who I could depend on when I needed him.The loss of him is great for I know that I will not find anyone quite like him. He was intelligent, wise beyond his years aproachable and sincere, qualities rarely found in people these days. I wish that I had known him longer for I believe he had a great deal to teach me and because of him I will be going back to school. Thank you Ryan I love and miss you.

Dear Kim and Ken,

Our hearts weep in tears and sadness with you at the loss of Ryan. May our God who "is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness" (Joel 2:13) be a "refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble,"(Ps 46:1) and may He be a "shield about you and the lifter of your head," today and even more so in the days to come. We love you.
