My deepest condolences to the Jones family. I am saddened to hear about Ryan’s passing. I learned about it from our unions website. Although I did not personally know or work with him, as I’m with another railroad, I truly believe we are all brothers (and sisters) and one giant family. 

Stay strong and take comfort in the fact Ryan was following his passion and loved what he did. 

Ryan was a co worker, as well as a friend.  He was so proud to be a new uncle, and had great stories about his family, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.  He loved fishing, and the outdoors, and spoke about Marble, and his grandparents cabin.  It was easy to talk about anything with Ryan, and interesting to hear about his experiences.  His family is in our thoughts and prayers.  

Ryan- you were the first cousin I got to meet from the Jones clan.  A true reflection of the rest of the family, you were immediately welcoming, easy to pal around with and were always unapologetically you.  We picked up on each other's kindred bull-headedness and were almost always bickering- but in a loving way. I still think brownies are better WITHOUT nuts (and I can hear you immediately protesting).  Although we refused to admit to it, Dan and I know how big of a role you played in "knocking some sense into us" and making sure we wound up together.  You even made sure to be the first cousin to meet Evie, showing up on the day we got home from the hospital with her.  We love you and miss you, Uncle Ryan. - Dan, Meg and Jolteon.

My condolences to the family and friends 

I always liked working with you. Gonna miss swapping stories and debating politics.  I appreciate your efforts to try and keep us in a good mood. You did your job without complaints. RIP Jonesy

Made quite a few trips with Ryan and was always happy for the crew caller to tell me I was working  with Ryan  he had so many awesome stories of his life I was invious he thought the world of his family and had the best  stories about  Marble . I am grateful  that  I got to meet  him . RIP my friend  I will  miss you

Ryan, I'm sorry to see you go. I always enjoyed getting called to work with you. We had fun trips. My condolences to the family.

Ryan, I had hope of getting to know you better. You are gone too soon. God takes the best sometimes. Rest in peace.

Gonna miss you my friend. I could always count on you to tell me all the places to go and eat and take my son to have a good time in Denver. You will never be forgotten. As my life has moved on from those days on the rails, I still think of the good times I had and Ryan my friend, you will always be a part of that. See you on the other side my friend. Rest Easy man.

I am so sorry to hear the news about Ryan. I trained him in Green River when he first hired out. Loved his sense of humor and his infectious smile. Loved to visit when I saw him in the depot. I will miss seeing you my friend. See you on down the line Brother.
