I am so sorry for your loss. Ryan was a wonderful person and friend. I hadn't seen him in years but Ryan was kind enough to take me to my senior prom when he was a junior. Ryan befriended me in High School and I have many memories of eating lunch with him and his friends and driving him home after school. I will always remember him as a sweet, kind, intelligent guy who would give anyone the coat off his back. Rest In Peace Ryan and my prayers are with his family and friends.
