I worked with Ryan at City Hall during his tenure at the Chicago City Council Committee on Finance. What a genuine person!
Ryan had a journalism degree from Columbia College and it showed. He was a skilled writer.
What a nice person. Everyone liked him.
Ryan had a great laugh, a wonderful sense of humor. It was a real gift to have known him.

I worked with Ryan on the PCoast. I remember him as kind, funny and intelligent man. I will miss him.

Dear Healy Family,

I knew Ryan for many years through my brother Bill. Ryan was an amazing lifelong friend to Billy, and I was so happy when the two of them decided to move out here to San Francisco together. As was his nature, Ryan easily developed many friendships here, and I feel lucky to have known him and been a part of his life here in SF, as well as back home in Chicago. Ryan also formed a special bond with my parents through the years. We are all so saddened, and he will be missed dearly by our family. I am terribly sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family, friends and C.P.D. Ryan was a friend of mine and we met when he moved in to the rear upper flat in our building on Aberdeen. I found out about his passing too late and unfortunately was unable to attend his services. I deeply regret this. I was intending on keeping up with Ryan and am so very sad that it will not be possible. He will always be my friend and I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerly,

Katie Daker Deprey

Dear Ryan Family
Your family is in my prayers. I knew your Son, I work at Mt Sinai and he would come into the hospital on calls. I just found out today. He always had a smile on his face. I will always remember that. Just know my heart goes out to your family and friends. I am going to truly miss him, when he came into Sinai he would always give me a hug and smile. That will always stay with me in my heart. I will light a candle for him tonight at home. God Bless you family through this time.

So, I know you must be beautiful and wonderful and your son Ryan the same. Realize that the Lord is continuing to walk hand in hand with you both through this time of sorrow and unimagined sadness.
