Ryan Thomas Groome, of Richmond, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, December 17, 2013. He is survived by his father, Glenn; mother, Jeanette; and sister, Taylor. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Kim Groome; maternal grandmother, Sadie Lewis; and his uncles, Craig Groome and David James. Ryan was a loving son, brother, cousin, and friend. He had a sweet, gentle spirit like his Papa and will be forever missed by all those who knew and loved him. He would not want you to mourn, but celebrate his life and yours. Life is a gift, no days are guaranteed; Enjoy the ones God blesses you with. Our son is no longer in pain as he enters the Kingdom of Heaven, where he is now embraced with forever happiness.
