My deepest sympathies to Ryan's family. 
I attended Park View with Ryan, and spent time with his class a few hours each week. His infectious smile and constant happiness made being around Ryan so enjoyable. I regularly look back at the fond memories made with Ryan and his classmates. 
May he rest in peace. 

Alecia,

I'm sorry I can't make it in person. My condolences to you and your family. I can't imagine what you're going through. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Sweet, sweet Ryan. You always had a smile for me that warmed my heart. I loved being a part of your life. I remember when your mom and dad let me watch you at my house. You were a lil guy. I got you out of your chair and you sat in my lap. We listened to Hannah practice playing her violin. She was terrible.... and you were mesmerized! I remember when you were a part of the Easterseals photo exhibit. I am so glad I nominated you because I loved seeing your picture every day in the hall... I will miss you forever sweet boy... sweet dreams... 

I went to visit Ryan when he was born with Alecia. So much unknown at that time, Ryan was not given much of a chance to survive. He sure showed everyone. Alecia is the number one reason Ryan stayed in this world. Ryan was so lucky to have you for a Mom. God bless you sweet boy, Rest In Peace . Alecia and family love you, so very sorry, my heart breaks for you. Love, Joyce

This note comes with a heavy heart for the entire family. Sweet baby Ryan was such a special boy and loved so much.  I could feel the love for him when I would visit and spend time with Alecia and her family. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. He will remain forever in our hearts.  

I knew Ryan for his first seven years.  Probably the most consistently happy child I ever knew.  Credit to John and Alecia who were such loving and caring parents.  God rest Ryan's soul.  

Words can’t explain the change that has been brought upon us, but in times like these we will continue to cherish our memories of you. Ryan, your soul was one in a million, your laugh infectious and your smile lit up a room instantly bringing joy to all who were there. Thank you for allowing me to care for you this past year, you truly changed my life. You are and will always be a warrior RyRy❤️ 

This is not goodbye, merely a see you later 👋🏼 

One of my many favorite moments with Ryan. This video captures the very essence of Ryan
Smiles and Laughter.  You will be missed my jellybean but never forgotten. Luvu!

I'll never forget that wonderful smile and just how easy he was to get a laugh out of him,the seven years I was there taking care of him were not enough ,it was an honor and pleasure looking out for him and trying to keep him healthy and happy

RYAN, was a blessing from God. He had the most beautiful smile.. When ever you were around him you couldn't help but smile. When I close my eyes I can see Ryan and Georgie running and playing. They are having a grand old time. Till we see you guys again, we will miss you. 

We will miss u Ryan and Kris liss u so much


I sadly never met Ryan in person but I did have a FB relationship with him thru my Cuz Frankie and his wonderful wife Alecia. I will treasure all the photos and his smile all the events that he was a part of that I saw with his eyes.  The love of his dogs how they were always close to him.  What I saw he loved people and life. So thank you Ryan for the long distance journey you didn’t even know you took me on.  You’re gonna be one hell of an Angel.
