Ryan, 
                I cannot believe your no longer here. My heart is broken for your family and all of us, your friends. I grew up with Ryan in my neighborhood of Woodland Hills. My best friend Jon and I would always play football with his older brother Tommy, and his best friend, Ryan. Those were my most fond and memorable times of my youth, being allowed to play two hand touch football with my best friend and his older brothers buddies. Years passed, and I hadn’t seen Ryan for some time until chance brought us back into each others lives. We were reacquainted with each other through a mutual acquaintance, and began to hang out with more frequency. Those were my most fond memories of having time with Ryan. Growing up with him in the neighborhood, I only heard the stories that he and all the older guys would share about having fun and going out at night. Well, at that time, I was then getting to live those experiences with an amazing individual. He was like an older brother, and took me under his wing to show me the fun that this city had to offer. Yet, our friendship at that time wasn’t solely based on the late nights we had. He cared to see me improve my life. Along with Tommy, Ryan was the only other person who gave me advice that was invaluable and sincere. When he talked to you, you knew he cared, you could hear it in his voice that he wanted you to be the best you possible. I still use the email account from 15years ago that he helped me set up. My heart is broken that you are no longer with us all, and even though we hadn’t seen each other in years, the impact you had on my life and the memories I have with you will never be forgotten. You were a true friend, and an amazing mentor. I’ll miss you dearly, and will never ever forget you. Heaven just got a little brighter with you in it. Keep the football ready Ryan, when the rest of us get up there, we’ll all play a game together once more. 

Your friend and mentee, 
                      Brian Budworth
