To my loving Horace:
The sorrow in my heart will never mend until the day I see you again.  I miss you as my son, friend and confidant.  As time passes I pray my shattered heart will begin to repair and I will find laughter again.

My last thoughts of Ryan:
Our dinners together were memorable but now you get to feast in the beauty of the Lord for eternity.  Save a spot for me!!

Ryan knew just the right words to brighten someone's day.  He shared a smile I will never forget.  He had some very funny jokes too. I am blessed that I got to know Ryan and become friends with him.  I know he is up in heaven looking down and smiling

I am very sorry for your loss. May God comfort you and bring you peace during this difficult time.

So very sorry to hear of your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated.

Ryan was my best friend. He was the kinda guy that you could tell the lamest joke in the world to, but he would laugh just to make you feel better. He will be greatly missed. Love ya always buddy and your home now.


P.S.Tell Jesus to make the economy better please

Ryan, you will be deeply missed by friends and family. God must have a purpose for you to leave us so soon. You will be taken care of up above and may you no longer struggle. God bless you and your family during this time.

Although I did not get to know Ryan personally, we did share something in commom and that was to do the next right thing.  He was and is an inspiration to a special group of people whol will always be touched by his memory. Many blessing to the family of Ryan.

My friendship with Ryan was certainly a gift from God.  We had many laughs, I will miss him much.  Much sympathy and many prayers for you all.

My heart and prayers are with Ryan and his family. 
While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil. The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ryan's family during this difficult time.  Ryan was an amazing person and God must have needed his generous spirit in Heaven.  Though he was taken too soon from this earth a part of him will always live on here.  "To live in the hearts of those you left behind, is not to die."

I will miss my old friend and brother.  I will think of him often, and will always be grateful for the helping hand he and his family extended to me in my time of need.  We shared some damn fine times together, and I will hold those memories with me for all time.   To his/my family- I love you and I am horribly sorry for the loss of our Ryan.  Its simply unfathomable-

My deepest sympathies go out to Ryan's family.  When I first met Ryan he had touched my life in the most sincere way.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Ryan was a dear friend of mine who will surely be missed. If I had to name one reason why he was so special to me, I'd say it was his ability to put a smile on my face. Ryan had a wonderful sense of humor and he loved to share it with others. In this way he brought joy to the world.

I am so very sorry for Ryans family, I know you are in pain right now!  Ryan was like a brother to me for many years.  We were inseparable friends and as tight as it get's.  He taught me so much about life and I will miss him dearly.  God bless you all!

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Ryan worked for me at Applebee's.  He was a good guy and a hard worker, most importantly he expressed his love for his daughter daily.  My Prayers go out to his Daughter and all his family.

I am so sorry.  Ryan was a man who enjoyed making others laugh and always had a smile on his face.  It's been many years since I've seen him, but I know that his memory will live on.  Prayers of healing, peace, and a manifest presence of the Lord to comfort you all as you grieve this tragic loss.

Ryan was one of my best friends. I am heartbroken.  I want to send my love and prayers to his entire family and all of his friends.  His Nashville family(friends) will always remember him with a smile.  He left us with tons of great stories and memories.

My condolences to Ryan's family, and prayers that you know God's comforting & healing presence, even in the darkest moments.

Ryan's determination, smile, laugh and caring for others will be missed.  Rest dear friend.

My sincerest condolences to Ryan's family. Ryan was a human being who struggled and overcame one of life's toughest chalenges with God's help. God loved Ryan & Ryan loved God, and was doing God's work on this earth, by giving of himself to help others with their own struggles. I hope that brings some solace to his family and friends. He died suddenly, and so young, but we don't get to choose. I am proud of Ryan & honored to have known him.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. In deepest sympathy for your loss. You will be missed, Ryan.
With love & prayers.
