Condolence: I had the opportunity to work with Ryan for 4 years up until he became ill. He had an outstanding work ethic and was dedicated to resolving or completing whatever he was tasked with. He had a world class of charm, his sense of humor was unlike any other. He loved Japanese arts and animation; he would 'geek out' if you broached the subject and teach you a thing or two with glee. He had a kindness about him that would embrace you as a stranger and leave you as a friend. His laughter was contagious and bellowing, a sound that would remind you that you were in good company. His world view varied against those that are socially normal or acceptable, and he was not afraid or ashamed of the things he believed. Ryan marched to the beat of his own drum, but he never disrespected anyone because they lived their life differently than he did. I believe that whatever lies within the great beyond, Ryan is in the good place. Rest in Peace, Ryan.

Condolence: I met Ryan when we were in our late teens. We worked together at Taco Bell. We had such good times. Later, we watched wrestling together and enjoyed a memorable trip to Cedar Point. I've never seen anyone with the strength he possessed. He brought me many smiles and lots of laughter. He will be greatly missed. I'm so sorry for his loss and the worlds loss as well. He truly was a great sweet guy with a huge heart.
