So sad to hear. When Ryan was in the DC area, I played hockey with him on the Wings. He was a great teammate, well loved by everyone. A gentle soul off the ice and a ferocious player on it. There is a long and crazy story of how he ended up getting from DC to Toronto for a tournament one year. 
Rest in Peace, Ryan.

So sorry for the loss of your dear son.
Praying for Gods comfort in your time of grief for you and your family ..

Dear Bob, Terry, Sean, and Kat,

We are so very sorry to hear of Ryan’s passing. We have such great memories of Ryan at Boy Scout Sea Base, Philmont training hikes, and numerous camp outs. He was always so friendly, courteous and fun! We also remember his music. Ryan even sold us our Cutco knives. Clearly he made an impact during his time on earth. We watched the mass and now he is looking down on us from heaven.

John, Susan and Andrew

Dear Terri, Bob, Sean, Kathleen and Liam,

We are thinking of you all during this devastating time in your lives.  We did not know Ryan well, but do know he was very loved by his family.  One of the few interactions we had with Ryan was when he was trying out his salesmanship  skills by selling knife sets.  We still have those knives we bought from him so many years ago 😊.   May his memory be just as durable for you in the years ahead without him.

Rest In Peace Ryan ❤️

With love,
The Dempseys

Mr. and Mrs. Walter , 


I’m so sorry for your loss . Ryan was my friend and as friend I couldn’t have asked for anything more of him , He has helped me in so many ways I could never pay it back. He believed in me and everyone around him . He cared more than most and valued the people who were in his circle . I’m not saying anything you don’t already know about him but I do want you to know he gave me hope and helped me believe for the future . He was brother more than a friend and wish I could tell that right now so instead I’ll start caring him with me so maybe I can inspire someone like he did for me .

Our sincere condolences to you and your family during this tragic horrible time. You are all in our prayers. I never had the pleasure of meeting Ryan but knowing what a loving family he comes from he had to be one special guy !! 

We remember Ryan as the quietly “cool” guy - the good-looking, guitar playing, Boy Scout.  Ryan seemed very reflective and introspective. He loved the outdoors.  May he rest in peace.  

Bob, Terri, Kat, Sean and Liam, our deepest condolences and prayers are with you all. We had the honor of spending some vacation time on Lake Powell on that “lovely” houseboat with your family. We will always remember Ryan’s gentle soul and kindness...and his contagious smile!! He is resting in the arms of angels...rest in peace, Ryan.

Ryan brought his music everywhere, even  to work. He was such a passionate, generous, and principled soul. I cherish the memories I have working with and learning from him at Red Robin and as a roommate.

May he rest in peace. My thoughts are with Terri, Bob, Kat and the entire family ❤

Bob, Terri, Sean, Kat and Liam,
We love you all deeply and are praying for you.  George and I will cherish our memories of the times we spent with Ryan with Eileen and Conor and Sean and Kat and our time with the 3 of you hiking in Mannassas VA.  He was so patient with me trailing way behind.  A kind, gentle man who will forever live in our hearts.
I know your faith in God and your love for one another will help you through.  May God Bless and keep you.

Justine Vucinich       To the Walter family I'm so very sorry for your loss there are no words to explain how sorry I fee for losing Ryan, Terry I know you have talked about him so very much beautiful  memories of his love for music. Ryan rest in peace .

Dear Ryan, I have never met you, but your mom was my dearest friend during her Brockport days.   We always keep in touch. My dad, Ron Ayrault, knew your grandpa & grandma Reardon when they lived in Brockport. My dad & your grandpa did military funerals together, etc. I knew your uncle, Jim Fallon, my kids went through Brockport schools.  My heart ❤️ goes out to your family. God bless you. We share a birthday, March 29   God bless you darling  boy of Terri & Bob

So many memories, playing music, at countless family reunions.  Ryan was quiet but he was always listening and paying attention.  Rest in peace Ryan! I love you. Christine

My condolences to your family on the loss of your son. May he Rest In Peace !! 

Dear Terri, Bob, Sean, Kat and Liam  

You are all in our thoughts, prayers and hearts during this challenging experience.  There are no words to convey this.  

Ryan was like a brother to Steve and Kristin and we will all miss his physical presence terribly.  So many happy memories.  

I am so thankful that Ryan, Sean and Kat and Liam all came to Steven and Claire's wedding party.  It was extra special that Ryan and Sean stayed with us and got to spend extra time.  

I am sorry that Ryan won't be able to make me another 'Zann-Special' drink.  We got some good laughs with that.  I will miss his beautiful twinkly blue smile and his good heart.  

Much love to you all and know we are just a call or text away if you want to talk.  Love and Light   Suzanne (Zann)  

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. My heart breaks for your family and for everyone who knew and loved Ryan.  I was blessed to meet and work with Ryan at Red Rocks. I only have good things to say about him. He was kind, humble, and genuine. He will be missed but not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to all for peace and healing. 

Ryan was a amazing person and friend who supported our small business at RedRocks and loved to collecting lapel pins .
We enjoyed spending  end of our shifts discussing how the night went and other shows we were looking forward to .
Ryan will be greatly missed by all of us and has touched our lives in some way .
Healing prayers and deepest condolences to all friends and family that had the privilege to know him and love him .

It is hard to say what I want, except that I am so sorry for your loss and pray that you find peace and strength knowing that so many people loved Ryan.  I have worked with him ever since he began working  at Red Rocks.  He was always such a kind and personable young man and made the job so much more pleasant when we got to work together.   This is such a shock to all of us.   I haven't been able to get him off of my mind since I heard the news.    May he rest in peace and may your family find peace knowing that he is looking down on you and will be your angel forever.   God bless you all.

I was so saddened to hear the news about Ryan. He was such a kind and sweet soul. Many of us at Red Rocks will be missing him deeply, he was loved by many. Ryan brought such a sense of calm and peace with him wherever he went.

Someone so special can never be forgotten, his spirit will be shining down on us playing his ukulele, may his soul rest in peace.
My thoughts are with his family and all close to him ❣️🙏❣️

I am so sorry for your loss, Walter family.  I had the pleasure of working with Ryan at Red Rocks and he was always the most courteous, positive and reliable guy!  I wish you all peace and the comfort of wonderful memories during this difficult time.  The world will be a dimmer place without Ryan's light!

Ryan was not only a coworker but a great friend of mine we worked redrocks last 8 years together we spent numerous shifts talking about his life and how he was going to go into the priesthood and talked about god on several occasions he had a heart of gold and preserverance like no one I’ve ever met before!!!! He loved his family and friends and dog with such loyalty and the outdoors!!! I’m so very sorry for your loss you raised such a great man you should forever be proud of as I was proud to have known him and be in his presence and good light always!!!! May he always be smiling down on you!!!! Xoxo
