Ryan was born on October 4th 2004 in St. Louis MO. Even as a baby, Ryan was happy and always smiling. He learned at an early age to ride 4 wheelers, shoot guns, and honestly excel at about anything he set his mind to. Ryan could solve a rubiks cube in only a few minutes, a skill he loved to show off when he was young. He was a fast learner. During his high school years, Ryan participated in track and wrestling. His Senior year he participated in DECA and qualified for Nationals. He was so proud of this accomplishment. He also maintained good grades and worked so hard in all of his classes. He even spent time during his senior year tutoring children at the elementary school. Ryan was 19 years old when he was taken from us. He was heading to the gym when he was hit head on by a wrong way driver. I try to focus more on his beautiful life, rather than his tragic death. Ryan was attending Saint Charles Community College, he was hoping to soon transfer into a PA program. Ryan was suppose to start EMT school May 14th, he thought this would be a good way to earn clinical hours and he was really looking forward to that experience. Ryan truly wanted to help people. Ryan liked being outdoors, studying chemistry, building legos, and spending time with his family and friends. He LOVED his dog Teddy. Ryan was a big brother to Adelyn and Louis. They both adored him, as we all did and always will. Ryan impacted so many people during his time on earth. He was funny, brave, smart, loyal, and KIND. He was a wonderful son, grandson, cousin, nephew and friend. Although everyone who knew him is devastated by his death, we will all continue to keep his memory alive and he will live forever in our hearts. I will love you forever Ryan.
Ryan we miss you everyday. I can't believe you have been gone almost 2 years. You would've have been almost half way through college and well on your way to being a PA or anything else you wanted to be. You were so smart. But you were also so kind and loving! You would be able to have a legal cocktail with me and your grandpa where we could have talked about everything. You would be planning another hunting trip with him and maybe some fishing too! I love you so much and hope you are joyful in paradise where someday we will meet again. Phil and I will have a resting place near your grave. I would love to have a wonderful dream where I could see you again. Until then I look at your pictures everywhere at our house and your house. I love and miss you Ry. Be sure you meet us at the pearly gates when we get there. Love and hugs, Grandma
Hey Ryan, been missing you a lot lately so I finally figured out how to make one of these tributes. I’m stopping by today to say goodbye and happy birthday before I have to go back to school. Sorry I can’t make it to your birthday party again this year because of school but rest assured I’ll be sending your mom and family a gift. I wish we could’ve had some of your first legal drinks together for your big 21, but I guess I’ll just have to pour out some grey goose for you instead 😕. It’s somehow been over a year since you’ve been gone but I still remember our last call and texts like it was yesterday, not to mention the countless other memories we shared. Keep getting stronger and practicing wrestling for me up there so when I inevitably join you we can have a fight over you leaving us way too early. Say hi to Jackson for me, love you Ryan ❤️
Amanda MohrWishing you the best year Aidan. Thank you for posting and sharing this picture. Its one I've never seen. I sure hope he is watching over us, proud that we are still getting by. Your a good kid and I am so grateful you were in my sons life. Wishing you all the best.

Missing you!!
Ryan it's been 10 months since you have left us. I think of you everyday and think of all the fun we had on spring break, on vacations, holidays wher we took pictures at the fireplace, and birthdays celebrated at favorite restaurants. Some days it seems like we have missed you just a short time. But other times it feels like a long time. Just know you are never forgotten and you are thought of so often. We carry you with us in our hearts everywhere we go. I love you Ry and plan to see you again someday and we will have the best reunion. Until then please send us little signs you're with us!!! Grandma
Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. The winter is cold, snowy, and dreary. I can't wait til the spring so we can watch the moon and the stars as I know you can see them from up there. Phil took your rifle deer hunting. I just wish you could've gone with him as planned. We both love you and miss you. I'm sure you are happy in heaven. Hope to see you on the other side. GMA

To Ryan:
Hey buddy , i was thinking about you this morning so i wanted to stop by and pay a visit .. I brought the dogs with me today and they are going nuts in the car .. probably wondering why I’m out in the snow with my house slippers on .. I wish you were hear so I could hear the updates on ur life and I could tell you about mine. I wish I could crack open a beverage with u and send u off with a case of beer and to tell u not to tell ur mom.. things haven’t been the same since u left and we all miss you .. look out after ur mom maybe even give her a sign so she knows ur still here watching over us .. untill we meet again , I love u
Love uncle Chris
Ryan I think of you every day and miss you like crazy. We had such wonderful memories but I always thought we would have so many more. I miss your smile and laugh. You were such a good son, cousin, friend, nephew, brother and especially a great grandson. I hope heaven is a wonderful place. We will see you again someday. I can't wait to give you the biggest hug! Love you forever and for eternity Ryan!!!
I stopped by while on duty today. I luckily did not get a call for service, which gave me time to dry my eyes. Lately I have been missing your general life updates...the way you would describe your latest area of focus or direction you saw yourself headed down was always a pleasure to hear. The unwavering pride, love, and respect for you will forever go unchanged. Your family misses you all day every day!!!
Another Holiday weekend without you here, reminding us all that we carry this grief forever. I miss your laugh and hugs. I miss you saying "mom it will be fine" Ryan Robert White you were simply the best. We love, miss and cry for you everyday.
You’ve been heavy on my mind lately so I felt like it was right to come by and pay u a visit before we all meet up for grandmas birthday.. lastnight I heard a song that really grabbed my attention it was called “in this shirt” by The Irrepressible’s… as I sat outside lastnight looking into the clouds I couldn’t help but think u were there listening with me .. I didn’t understand the song at that moment because the lyrics were too hard to make out.. so as I was sitting here I wanted to play it again. I found the song with the lyrics .. it’s about a guy feeling lost and burdened with the loss of a loved one.. so as I sit here wiping my tears I feel like this couldn’t have been just a coincidence but rather something more .. I love u buddy

Can't believe you've been in heaven for 2 months. I know you are OK but we are missing you, your kindness, your smile and your hugs. We still cry because you are not with us to talk, kid around, see all the goals you were accomplishing ,and having family time together. I hope you know how much we loved you and how we still love you so much. We think of you every day and keep your memory alive. We know some day we will all meet again in heaven and know you're probably watching us from above as you love us too. Until we meet again.... Love Grandma
There isn't a day that passes by that I don't think of you. You may have left us but you will never be forgotten. I miss you always and I will love you forever....
Ryan I miss you like crazy. I ve loved you since your birth. Held you the first day you were born after an emergency C section where I was so worried until the nurses were laughing and said you came out healthy and crying. I watched you grow into a handsome, bright and kind young man. Always figured we would have many tomorrow's. I will love you forever and will see you again someday. God and angels will keep you til then. Love, Grandma
I miss Ryan every day. I always stop and think about all the things we would be doing together this summer. We had made a list last year of all the stuff we wanted to do and even talked about doing that again this year. I miss his smile, his laugh, his silly personality, and most importantly, him. I would do anything for just one more hug. I love you 🫶
I find myself missing your contagious excitement regarding your future plans. The time, research, thought, and investigation you brought to every decision should be the example for everybody young and old!
Love and miss you!
