Sending healing prayers and my deepest condolences to the O'Donnell family and close friends. I first want to start by saying that Ryan was a kindhearted and amazing young man. I had the pleasure of working with Ryan and he was so much fun and fill of life. Coming to work with him was always like going to a party. He always had a smile on his face making work pleasant. He had so much energy, and loved his toys (car), and (motorcycle) among other things. Ryan you are gone way too soon but you will never be forgotten. Although you have parted ways with the physical world, your spirit will forever live in the hearts of everyone you have touched. So, until we meet again, rest my friend and may God keep and hold you in the palms of his hands.... Peace and Love Always!!!
