Dear Ryan,
Well it has almost been a year to the day since you have left us, and I can say that a day does not go by that I do not think of you. Every day at work while I am doing something a thought or rememberance of something that you or we did together pop's into my head. You will be remembered forever in my heart and mind. On another note you should see how big Ginny has gotten. I talk with your parents everytime they come in. I can only imagine the laughter that you are causing where ever you are, I truely miss our talks together. God Bless & take care. Love Sean

Ryan.
We love & miss you, it's a promise. I've known you since I was in kindergarden and I miss you more than you know. You were best friends with my brothers for 12 years and I remeber each year like it was yesterday. You helped me out so much in highschool and having you in my gym class my first year of highschool made me happier than you know. You stood up for me like I was your younger sister and I loved you for that. God bless you and your family.

I love you so much.

Ryan,
I know we only worked together for one season, but man, you made it so much fun. Remember when you and me would be screaming the lyrics to Welcome To the Jungle while driving the bucket and forklifts? Mark even heard us from inside the greenhouse one time haha. There were so many good times and good talks with you. You knew how to make everyone's day better. You weren't just a co-worker to me, but also, a friend. I'll miss those crazy random phone calls too. I will always remember you and I give your family my deepest condolences. Rest in peace Ryan.

Hola Ryan,
I want to start by thanking god for meeting someone like you. I think back to three years ago when I first started working with you, and how much our friendship grew in that time. I will keep you, your family, and your friends in my prayers, and i will always remember the memories you have left me with. Your humor, kindness, and how cute you looked when you were mad, are some of the many things I will never forget. My days at work just wont ever be the same. I know you will understand me when I say "Take care Mijo/Guero" and Rest in peace.

Hey Ryan,
I’ve always believed that if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life. But since working with you I’ve come to realize that it’s not just the job itself, but really the people around you that can influence how much you enjoy each day. Your sense of humor and the energy you brought made even the roughest of work days more smooth. Yet you were more than just a great co-worker, you were like a little brother to me and your friendship can never be replaced. But I will move forward believing that you would've wanted us to celebrate your life rather than mourn your passing. So it’s with a heavy heart, buoyed by the good memories, that I accept life will go on. Yet I admit it will never be the same.

My thoughts and prayers are with you every day as you deal with this hardship. Noone should have to endure the pain that you must be feeling but with your faith in God hopefully that pain will lessen each and every day and you will relish all the good memories that you have of Ryan. God's blessings to you all.

To Ryan's Family
Although I did not work directly with Ryan on a daily basis, when I did see and visit with him, he was a true joy. I have talked with him a lot over the last two years and he was very passionate about the Aquatics and all goes with it. Even though it is unseen right now, God has a plan and we have to trust it.
I share your sorrow and send prayers to all of you,

Over the years, Ryan spent many days and evenings at our home. We will deeply miss his boisterous laugh, his smile and love for his friends. Every time he walked through our front door, he brought energy and life to everyone around him. We will remember him forever and will always think of Ryan whenever we see a yellow Hummer or a Metalic Grey Mustang driving down the street. May our prayers, thoughts and memories give you comfort today and always.

Antoni family,
We will always remember Ryan as the very first person to ring our doorbell the day we moved into our house to welcome us to the neighborhood. Our boys will remember him letting them into your backyard to see the fish in your pond. He was just such a nice boy.
We are so sorry for your loss of Ryan, and we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
