Grandpa drove all the way to Texas at 92 years old to hold our baby girl and spend a couple of days with us.  So thankful for the time we got to spend with him and grateful for his life. Grandpa Ryan:  we love you and miss you and can’t wait to see you again one day.

What a terrible loss! Not for Tom, but for those of us who loved him and had the privilege of knowing and spending time with that wonderful man.  We were so thrilled when God brought him into our lives, especially in seeing Audrey’s sister LaVonne finally find true happiness with a husband who loved God and honored Him in all aspects of his life. Yes, he was an ardent golfer, fisherman and baseball enthusiast, but we, and especially our children and only grandchild fondly remember the good times they had with Uncle Tom, whether it was camping, playing games, or enjoying the pool in Placentia. To me he was more of a brother than a brother-in law. We will miss him and will pray for God’s peace for his immediate family in these difficult times.

Dearest Dave and Rachel.; It's never easy to go thru life when our love ones pass .I can share that there will be the memories,just going to a favorite resturant ,watching  a movie. just so many waves of memories .One truth is Thomas is in eternity of blessing and  in the present of his maker .Go forth in life and know you both were the family he was happy to be with .The world states it will get better and the world states it will get easier as time goes on ,As we all know time will tell May God bless you and may His love comfort you and most of all May God's promise be true that one day you will be together .                    Love you both Sharon Carrillo

We will always remember and cherish our lunch with Grandpa Ryan 2 summers ago.  It is a memory we will not forget.

We met Tom and Lavonne in early 2000 and enjoyed knowing them. We played golf and visited with Tom over the years and he was always so pleasant to be around. We had him over for dinner snd great conversation a few times. He will be really missed. Peace be with you, Tom.  Fred and Sharon Blackman

Mr. Ryan was such a sweet and humble man.  The few times I met him he always had a smile on his face and was enjoying his life.  God called him home and he revived his wings with grace. May God continue to bless the family during their time of need.  Let’s celebrate his life and keep the memories alive as you go through this process. Love you all

Remembering all the special times we've spent, the closeness we've shared, and the love you've shown to me.  I will always hold you in my heart, forever & always.   Missing you, dad.  Love, Diane

Our condolences to all His family and friends. We met Tom at roadrunner dunes and lived in the park across the street from him. Tom was the definition of a gentleman. One of the nicest men I have had the pleasure of meeting. We played his last game of golf with him at 29. He will be missed here for sure

RIP Tom. 

Clarence and Kim Robinson.

My condolences to his  family and closest friends.

I met Tim golfing at Roadrunner Dunes in 29 Palms. He was the most fun partner and best golf instructor.

He will be dearly missed.
