    Ryan was the guy that would help you out. He could fix anything mechanical. He was creative and the strongest young man I have ever known. He will be missed.

    Ryan, you have been a long time friend of mine since high school. U walked me down the court for CCE in high school. We’ve kept in contact every since. I just talked to u last month and u told me this was coming. Im at a loss for words bc I couldn’t believe it was true. U are and were a good friend and a good man and a good father. I have so many memories with u. My prayers go out to the family and to his son. U will forever be missed. RIL friend.

    Ryan, your big personality will leave a big hole behind. You were always a bright light when you entered a room. I’ll never forget your warm smile and hilarious jokes! You will be missed!
    Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Andy, Carrie, Andrea and Waylan, you are all in my prayers. My heart breaks for you as you find a new normal here without him.

    I can still remember when Ryan and his family first moved in down the street. I have so many memories growing up playing with Ryan as a kid. As adults we have crossed paths a couple of times and fortunately I saw him at our high school reunion this September. He still had that big smile and an upbeat energy that I will always remember. To Waylan, Diana, Art, Andrea, Andy, Carrie & all of his family & friends- I am so sorry for your loss and me and the rest of my family send our love and prayers.

    I’m saddened to learn of the passing of my dear cousin. I loved babysitting him when he was little. That cute little face and adorable laugh stole my heart. My heart was broken when he and the rest of the family moved away. Ryan and I communicated occasionally on Facebook and I will treasure those messages from him.

    My deepest condolences to Ryan’s family.
    Ryan was a great guy and loved helping others.
    I will miss the “fence talks” Ryan & I had whenever I saw him outside working and the fireside chats on cool evenings… he sure could build a great bonfire!
    Praying for your entire family during this time.
