Carin, Cate, Lucky and family, wow so many memories. From the young 16 year old kid who showed up at Kartville wanting a job.He was part of our family. We will miss him always.

I remember Ryan as one of the students who always smiled and said hello when I passed him on the Eureka College campus.  My sympathies to all those who are feeling his untimely loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God Bless.

Lucky, I am so very sorry for your loss. May God grant you strength and peace.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Ryan in person but I did speak to him on the phone and thru email.  I was most impressed by his kind, respectful manner.  I was deeply saddened by the news of this tragic accident.  Two years ago this August 17th, I lost two of my Grandchildren in a tragic car accident...I will forever remember my daughter's words, "we can't quit, Mom, Peyton and Zoe wouldn't want that."  So, I leave those words to you...living now in  Ryan's honor....preserving a memory of a remarkable man....so many lives touched...so many memories to cherish...I pray that, in time, you are able to find comfort and peace...meanwhile, I pray that God gives you the strength to make it thru such a devastating loss...Mary Hoffman

Oh my gosh Lucky, Cathy & Carin, and all of the Closens!  My heart is aching for your loss in such a great young man.  It is the worst thing to happen.  I will be putting you all in my prayers.

I was blessed to have known Ryan since before kindergarten. Almost all of my childhood memories include him and through these memories he will live on! Although separated by distance and daily life Ryan and I spoke last year as if we had just seen each other yesterday because that was the kind of friend he was, a friend for life! Lucky and Cathy I pray for your family and keep you in my thoughts! Thank you for bringing Ryan into this world for he has touched mine.

So sorry for your loss Lucky, my prayers are with you & your family.

Our prayers go out to you and the family -- So sorry for your Loss !  Donna Cunningham (Thatcher)   Leona Cunningham (Carter)

Although our time with Ryan was short the loss we feel is so tremendous. He brought so much love and life into our home everytime he was here. We feel blessed to call him a friend and can not thank Carin enough for bringing him into our lives. We will forever cherish our time with him and are better people just for knowing him. Rest in peace Ryan,  prayers to his family and all who loved him.

Lucky, I am sorry to hear about your loss. :(

Red Devil for life.  You will be missed Ryan.  The world is a worse off place without you.  Believe that.  I'll see you one day in heaven.

Lucky - so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.

Prayers for you Cathy, as I know well how much love you have always had for your sons.  I remember the conversations we had at work about Ryan, and I can't even imagine how your heart is breaking right now.  How handsome he is, and how proud you must be, he sounds like a great guy.  You did well.  Prayers for you and your family to get through this until you meet again.

I was lucky enough to go through high school with Ryan.  He was a great classmate and was always friendly to everyone regardless of who they were.  Definently had an anti bully persona as someone had mentioned. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Take comfort and know Ryan is in the loving arms of Jesus.

My loving nephew you will be missed so much You always made me laugh every time I came back home to visit no matter if it was just sitting around the table or meeting for lunch. You was always so laid back and easy going. 
Love you so much Aunt Patti

Ryan was a great guy who touched the lives of many. I've known him since kindergarten and no matter how much time had passed each time I saw him he greeted me as an old friend. Lucky and Cindy should be proud of the genuine man they raised! He won't be easily forgotten by anyone who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with Ryan's family and closest friends. Fly high Ryan; until we meet again!

my prayer go out to your family u will truly be missed I enjoyed working with u on the fire department

Cathy & Lucky....so sorry for your loss.  Praying for you.

Lucky, 
Rusty and I want you to know how sad and heart broken we are that this happened to Ryan.  We know how important our children are to us and there are no words to say to you to help you with this loss.  We are also sad that we cannot be there to help and support you as you did many times for us.  But always know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm saddened to hear of the loss of a great guy and teammate. He will be missed. Prayers to his family and friends.

Prayers for his family,  may you find peace in your hearts.

Lucky & Cathy, we are so sorry for the loss of your son.   Our deepest sympathy.

Lucky and family..my deepest sympathy and heart felt condolences to you...always hang on to the memories until you meet again.

I've known Ryan since grade school. He was then and always had been an all around great guy. He was just the type of person you liked to be around. I am so sorry to all of his loved ones for their loss. He will be missed by so many!

I am so sorry for your lost my prayers are with his family

Ryan and I met in grade school and although we didn't grow up together and although we were not best friends, I can say first hand that he always went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome.  For those of us who were new to the school and those of us who didn't know anyone, he  was always there to be a friend.  Ryan was an Anti-Bully before we knew what that even meant and he made life a little easier for those around him.  Rest In Peace Man & thank you for being a friend all those years ago!

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Uncle Luck, Cathy and Carin...as I sit here trying to find the words for this, I'm just at a loss.  Ryan was such an awesome person loved by so many.  I am very blessed to be able to call him my cousin.  I loved him dearly and will miss him more than words can say.  He has been taken from this earth way too soon.  I just pray right now he is up in Heaven hanging out with my Mom.  She loved him so very much as he did her...I'm sure they have reunited waiting for the rest of us to join them.  May God wrap his loving arms around you all and comfort you in this time of great sorrow.  Love, prayers and hugs...Brandi
