Life story

Ryan came into this world on June 19,2007 weighing 9lbs 3.5 oz. He is the son to Ashley Rudder of Baird, TX. Over Ryan's short life he made a impact on all that entered his life. From the littles to the adults. Ryan had deep passion for working in his Uncle David Davis shop at a young age. Most that knew him outside of the family would forget that he was just 16 years with his knowledge of how work his way around a motor big or small. Ryan found peace in enjoyment with living his life to the fullest with his family and friends next to him.

Kady’s Bra everyone in trouble 🙄

This is from homecoming like 3 years ago. Where I got Ryan and aj in trouble because I let them wear my bra and shorts to the parade. Ik I got in trouble but this shit was so funny I’d do it 1000 more times just to laugh that hard again. -Kady

Baby Rose and Ry

And this is one of my favorites that I feel everyone should see and know about. This was about 3-4 months after Ryan passed. I was really starting to feel his loss and began to be depressed and stopped eating and all I really did was sleep. Well with me being pregnant all the stress I put on my body started hurting my baby. I was in and out of the hospital for weeks and other than that I didn’t really leave the house. One hospital visit my ob wanted to ultrasound and make sure my baby was okay and when he did I saw Ryan hold on the my baby until it was time for her to be with us. When I saw this I instantly broke down and I knew that Ryan would always be with me and my baby. This changed my life forever and to this day me and baby rose sit in the living room at night and talk to cruncle Ryan about our day and tell him goodnight and that we love him -Kady
