  3. Dear Family,

    I send my sincere condolences for your loss. There are comforting promises in the Bible that the time is coming when “all those in the memorial tombs till hear [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:28,29) Our Loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah God has also promised that “he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more” (Revelation 21:4) May it comfort you and strengthen you to reflect on God’s promises to bring back to life your dear loved one to a beautified earth where he can be reunited with his family, and never have to get sick and die, ever again. (Psalm 37:11,29; Isaiah 33:24)

  8. To his family, Christy, Roger, Kyle, and Kelly. Our prayers will continue. I am so sorry. Ryan will be so missed. He has been in our lives since the first day of kindergarten. I’m gonna miss him eating chicken stew out of a mixing bowl! The only guy I know that loved Ramen noodles enough to eat 3 bags at a time, and to make him take the whole 2 liter of drink and drink it when I caught him getting “a quick sip” before he ran back out the door to do whatever him and Will were doing. To fuss when I got up at 5:30 for work and trip over his boots,take a few steps and trip over his car harts. He was at home here and just like Will, started coming out of clothes at the back door!
    He will never be forgotten. He was a true friend to Will, would help with anything I needed. I pray for strength for you all thru this time. He will always be remembered
