Was in beatable and laid it on the table you and Owen took pride in shredding my card lol it's been a while now and I still miss the fun we had I wish I could have made that trip to the beach with you I regret all the years of lost contact will you inspite of our epic battles I considered you and your family great friends

DOODLE

He was be missed.

Ryan,
I never got to meet you which makes me sad for several reasons. First, I was going to meet you next spring and your whole family as well, and secondly because after hearing all the wonderful stories about you from your family I wish so badly I could have met you. You were a brother and friend and confidant to your brothers and my best friend and your sister-in-law LeDawn. I lost my brother too and you both had so much in common I just know you two are rocking out somewhere to some band I've never heard of and would probably hate. :)

~And it seems to me, you lived your life like a candle in the wind. Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in. And your footsteps will always fall along (Texas') hills. Your candle burned out long before your legend ever will.~

From what I understand I'd probably get punched for writing Elton John...but it seemed to fit. Say hi to my bro for me.

CTECC just isn't the same without you. Miss you, Ryan.

Hubby I will always miss you and never forget you!! You have taught me so much about how to be a better person and I will miss our talks and being able to confide in each other about anything at all. Love you!

Ryan,
You were a sweet 16 when I met you. I remember how nervous you were during the interview for your job, I went to the office to get your paper work and Brett says "so you hired the band geek" and I said yeah I did he will probably be the best employees we ever have and I was right..You were a Joy to work with, I loved the excitement in your voice when you talked about a new game or movie. You were like one of my own.
Karen and Jerry I will pray for you every single day. I know that you are hurting and no there are no words to comfort you, but knowing that you have so many people surrounding you right now that loved Ryan and you guys is what keeps you going. My deepest Sympathies to all of you.Ryan was a wonderful man.

Ryan was a great guy and will be sorely missed. He was always making people laugh, always had a positive attitude, and had EXCELLENT taste in music :-) I'm sad that I'll never get to go to an awesome concert with him.

Rock on brother, I'll see you again someday. \m/

To a very intelligent, witty and outstanding dispatcher. He was a joy to train, and even more so as a co worker. You will be missed.

To Ryan's family,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Ryan was a year older than me but I graduated with Owen. I remember Ryan from school he was always very kind to me, real nice person to be around. May God be with all of you & help strenghen your hearts during this time in your lives. God Bless You all.

It was an honor and pleasure to have worked with Ryan. He brought a sense of humour that will be truly missed.
