Ryan wasn’t just a handyman, he was a creator. With wood and tools, he could bring anything to life, always with a spark of pride when he finished. He embraced life with curiosity, always ready for the next adventure. Every orange sunset reminds me of him, his warmth, his spirit, and the beauty he left behind. His smile could light up an entire room, making everyone feel seen. My niece and nephews still say, ‘Hi, Uncle Ryan,’ and when they laugh, I’m reminded his joy lives on. We carry the sorrow of not seeing his pain, but we’ve learned you can’t place blame on yourself for someone’s struggle. Instead, we honor him through compassion, understanding, and love. I love you, Ryan. I miss you. I hope you’ve found peace, and I hope you’re holding our little girl.

Missing you Ry

Everytime the kids see a ladybug they instantly say “Hi Uncle Ryan!!!” I hope you are having the time of your life, and taking care of my niece and my soulcat and fattest boy, Fatboy. As a brother-in-law, you were truly remarkable. Thank you for always being there for the kids, for your kindness, and for taking care of my cat, despite his antics. We are grateful for the moments you shared with our family. You, with your unique taste for peanut butter and chip treats, us fighting over the last tasty cake, or us making fun of sarah for not knowing Harry Potter lore will be deeply missed. No one truly understands the struggle between your inner demons and angels, nor do they see the entire story—only the blame placed on each of us for not truly seeing how much you needed someone. Its no ones fault, not even your own. But now, you are at peace, cradling your little girl. I will always love and miss you brother.🪽
