I want you to know Phil that you are and always will be in my prayers. All the young men at arctic ice will miss him terribly. If you ever need anything do not hesitate to call on me. Love, Michael Chronos

I was a good very good friend of him i made him nothing but laugh now as I think about it i wish i could take his place but in life things happen for a risen but this was never supposed to happen but i pray everytime i go to chruch just thinking about him.
R.IP. KELLY THOMAS RYAN i know he is still with us and all was will be,

I knew this kid through a kid named Greg. He told me that he was sad. I asked why and he said that his friend, Kelly, had died. I was heartbroken. With all condolences.

Kelly Ryan was a good kid, i can remember him sitting on the swing at went worth park, laughing smiling, having fun. and yet its also very weird because wen i look back at that swing, its always moving with his soul still on there, laughing smiling. and that will never go away, even dough its been awhile know people r smiling but inside there dieing. he was a cute little boy no one will forget. I'm very sorry, r.i.p Kelly Ryan you were a good kid.

Even thought I didn't know this child, it is soooooooo terrible to hear about the cherishment of a twelve year old child. I am twelve to and am soooooooo sorry for your loss.

Mr and Mrs Ryan please accept our most heartfelt support during these trying moments. Although I did not personally know Kelly I knew him as a student. As his lunch lady Kelly always set the best example among his peers. Please accept our prayers from the lunch room and my family. May your strength and love you hold for Kelly preservere in helping you through these difficult period.

Martha Nunez and family.

Dear Ryan family,
Your loss is unimaginable, I pray with time your will find comfort in your memories of your sweet boy. Please know the entire community is praying for you all.

Ryan Family,
Although I do not personally know your family, I live in the neighborhood, and I can tell how truly amazing your son was, he is loved by so many. I can see the way he has personally touched so many people's lives, and for that you should be so proud. My heart goes out to your family and everyone who had the honor of knowing your son. I'm sure he is in Heaven playing hockey with the big dogs. You are so lucky to have him as your guardian angel.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Ryan family in thier time of need and always. Kelly will be missed by all, he was a great kid! Alyssa cherishes the memories she has of Kelly and will do so always. God bless you and your family!

Kelly, I've known you since 4th grade, you were one of the most funny guys, and you were really nice. When you hearse passed by Nathan Hale, everyone was standing outside. Your homeroom 112(the one im in) we wore hockey jerseys and we set off balloons since you were in out class. I thought it was okay that you put your stuff in my desk, but now since your gone it's not the same. Kelly I hope you have a great afterlife. Rest In Peace Kelly Ryan, you will be missed by a lot of people.

You left to early for the hockey game in heaven.

Phil, Chris, McKenna and Hannah --
Words cannot express what I feel for your family at this time. Kelly has always had a special place in my heart since that first day he walked into my Kindergarten classroom. His big smile and even bigger heart were such an asset to the class. Please know that you have my love, support and prayers as you deal with this terrible tragedy. If you need anything, you know how to reach me.

Dear Ryan Family,
My nephews had the honor of playing hockey with your precious son, Kelly. He was a special young man who was very well-liked. Your loss is beyond comprehension, and countless prayers are being sent your way. God bless you and your family during this unimaginably difficult time. May you find comfort in these words:
We little knew that morning
that God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, and
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you;
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories, and
your love is still our guide.
Although we cannot see you,
you're always by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But, as God calls us one-by-one,
our chain will link again.
Kelly's memory will live on; he will never be forgotten by those he touched.
God Bless.
A Hockey Family

Trapani Family st jude hockey club

I went to school with Kelly until second grade, then I transferred to St.Christina.I found out about your loss yesterday on the Hawks game, and remembered that name. He was a great friend to me. He will be greatly missed.

We don't know each other but I have been thinking of you and Kelly none the less.

Driving to work Thursday morning I noticed your son's name in the window. I never paid attention before but yesterday was different.
I am the mother of 4 and cannot fathom the pain you are feeling. I don't know why but I am compelled to share a short story with you.

When my oldest daughter was 5 my husband tragically lost his "baby" sister (and only sibling). He was sitting on the couch upset and crying. He has always believed children have a special link to God and His angels. He asked her: Do you see Auntie? She said: Yes, Daddy. I do. He asked her: Where? And she said: Everywhere.

It gave him such comfort and I hope this story does in some way does for your as well. Your beloved Kelly IS everywhere. Hold tight to the memories and realize his is in every raindrop, cloud or ray of sunshine.
God Bless you and God Bless Kelly.

The Ryan family: Our deepest condolences on the loss of your wonderful son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

To the Ryan family,

Our prayers are with you. As members of the community and Hale parents, we mourn for your loss. For such a young soul, who, from others we hear was an exceptional boy. May God bless Kelly and the entire Ryan family.

Dear Chris,
You and I became friends last year when you so generously helped your Aunt Ali during her illness and last days.
I remember you speaking of your son Kelly's love and involvement in hockey, and how your whole family shared in traveling to games together.
So many children never have a loving family to encourage them and be a vital part of their interests. I am glad your son Kelly had the love and support of you, Phil, and his siblings for his too-short life.
God bless you all and know we all are thinking of you.

We don't know you or your son but read his death notice and the artical in the paper about what happened. We also were coming home past the funeral parlor that ur son was laying at(same as my parents recently were laying at). You have our deepest condolences. Your whole family will be in our prayers.

Words will never express the heartache we feel for your loss but we will keep your family in our prayers forever. Kelly was here to show you that angels do exist here and in heaven, God bless you, Chris and your family may He grant you the strength now and always...

I taught Kelly in the 4th grade. He was such a polite and well-mannered young man. And he was so interested in science. He helped his class do a special research project on ladybugs and he loved every minute of it. He will be missed.

Dear Ryan family. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Kelly was introduced into my life the night the lord took him home. I was one of the many fighting that fight with him to keep him here. Words cannot express what I want to say. But that night, he touched my heart. I hope you will find the some inner peice with this poem. I'm so very sorry for you loss. joslyn (peds resp therapy)

"I'll lend to you for a little time,
A child of mine," God said,
"For you to love while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead."

"It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?"

"He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have these precious memories
To comfort you through grief."

"I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn."

"I've looked this world over,
In my search for teachers true.
In the crowds of this great land,
I have selected you."

"Now will you give him all your love
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take him back again?"

It seems to me I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joys a child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run."

"We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay."

"And should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

Phil,Christine And Family,

MY heart is very heavy as I'm sitting here, theres no words to express the pain I feel for you and your family as you go thru the loss of your child,I can'timagine the pain your feeling and will pray that God gets you and your family thru this. With love,

Please let your many memories allow you to smile through the tears. Be proud in knowing that in a short time, he had a huge impact on his peers,and let it console you during your grief.Your family will remain in our prayers.

Dear Ryan Family,
Your sudden loss brings me back to the day and the days after my dear Mother died. I wanted the world to stop and take notice that one of its special people was no longer living. I could not accept how life could go on without her. I also remember however an awesome presence of His peace. I pray that you all will find comfort in that same--if unexplainable--Peace.
Fondly,
Mrs. Barbara Dargis
