Ryan was a dear friend of mine in our Cooper days! We had such great times with Bridget in her VW Rabbit convertible. Those 2 were inseparable. I have fond memories of Ryan and Joey Theismann joining me on my HS field trip to King's Dominion! So many wonderful memories. Too many to type. I lost touch with Ryan after High School and hadn't seen him in 30 years. To me, this doesn't lessen the loss or the friendship we had. I am thinking so much of Ryan and his family and close friends who were with him to the end. ❤❤❤❤

Dear Susan, Jim, Bridget, Scott, Brady, Andrew, and families,
Paradise gained a sweet, kind, snappily dressed spirit who will watch over those who grieve Ryan's departure. While there are no words to comfort, I struggle to find such words. May each of you put a "handle with care" sticker on your heart and summon memories of Ryan as sweet gifts to fill you with love and to allow the grief to be almost bearable.
Love, Kathi
