Sending my deepest sympathy, love and light. There's a lot of love, beauty and joy that Ryan emitted and shared with his loved one's.  May the light of his soul be forever lit and held closely in our hearts & minds where he will live on.  ❤

To all of Ryan's loved ones:

I am so, so sorry for this terrible loss. I did not know Ryan that well, but he was an easy person to feel close to even without a long history. The first time I had Ryan over at my mom's house, I was worried she would be anxious in his company-she's not exactly used to rambunctious older guys with paint covered shirts and Hello Kitty accessories. Ryan charmed the hell out of her...complimenting her cooking, being so friendly, and of course, making her laugh. That is how I remember Ryan. Whenever I spent time with him, he was giggling in a way that I couldn't help but smile at. He had courage to say what was on his mind and an ability to create a good time for all that was so striking to me.

Ryan will be deeply missed by entire communities. It is clear that his presence was a gift to those who knew him, and that his memory will continue to bless those who love him. RIP

Ryan was my best friend growing up. We had a lot of first experiences together. We grew our love for punk music together. I basically lived at his house since he was only a few doors down. We had a roller hockey league complete with a "Stanley Cup" made from Tupperware and aluminum foil! We used milk crates for the nets. I cherish my memories of ryan and his light will live on, he touched many people in such a positive way.

Dear Ms. Johnson,

I'm so sorry for your loss. 

I wanted to share a memory of Ryan. He is definitely a character from my life that I've never forgotten about. In 6th grade on Valentine's Day, Ryan bought me a dozen red carnations. It was the first time a boy ever got me flowers or anything for Valentine's Day. He put them in my locker to surprise me and made me feel so special. He was so sweet and funny. I always enjoyed his company and bravery for daring to be different with his bleached hair, blue or blonde and his big elephant pant jeans.  We were very good friends that year and I thank him for his fearlessness in middle school. He helped me be more comfortable when 6th grade / middle school in general can be such a difficult adjustment. 

He will be greatly missed.

We are so saddened to hear of Ryan's passing. May our Lord pour out his healing grace and love on your family. We will always keep your family in our prayers and pray that you find the peace that passes understanding. God bless you all.

Im still in shock. We have had so many memories the past 13 years. I was so happy that you moved down the street in warren and that we were able to hang out a few times recently. I wish i would of known what you were going through.
 Thanks for taking care of me when i decided to make bad decisions, having degrassi marathon parties,pizza pop and parents night, being the one who stepped up for me when Brian passed, and for you and the rest of our crew being family when i needed it the most. You seriously were a great person with the most fun personality. You were taken way to soon. You were loved by so many and i will forever miss you and be thankful to call you not just a friend but family. My heart goes out to all of his family and friends.
