Ryan, my soul, my son, my best friend – your compassion and generosity filled my heart. Your love for your family was spoken with words and felt through loving actions. You are a person that would have helped the whole world. Your battle was great and you were truly outnumbered. You fought hard and brave, but in the end, your mind wanted peace – and peace you now have. You will be remembered, not for a moment of despair, but for the love and joy you brought to so many. You helped strangers and friends, never with the thought of anything in return. So funny and so bright, you are a beautiful man. You will forever and always be my best friend and the earth will never again experience your greatness.
Love,
Mama
