I met Ryan while at Texas State. I will never forget that day because I knew no one in that class or school at the time. He was such a big personality and I remember him asking me a pretty funny question about what I was wearing that day and from then on we connected. As we haven’t stayed in touch as of recent I felt something was wrong and discovered this. I’m saddened by this news but he will always be remembered as that person who was never afraid to ask something others may feel uncomfortable about. He was one of a kind. Thought and prayers to the family.

Ryan was such a light to everyone he met. He always could bring a smile to everyone’s face or make them laugh. This is devastating news. Praying for his family during this time.

This is absolutely heartbreaking, Ryan was the light of our work week and beyond, listening to Taylor Swift and reminiscing on our adventures. I will miss you my friend, I wish this was a nightmare and we all wake up from it, you are loved and your memory will live on❤️

I’m so saddened to hear of Ryan’s passing. I remember him first as a kindergartener way back at Goodwin Primary and then as my student at Canyon. He worked hard when I taught him and came to my room to chat even after freshman year. I was blessed to teach Ryan and his sisters, and have fond memories of all. You have my prayers and condolences.

I can still remember Ryan as an integral part of Canyon High School's Mighty Class of 2010! He was always actively interacting with his classmates and his teachers. His frequent, great smile in the halls of CHS and at all types of activities is one to never be forgotten! I am saddened to hear of his passing at such a young age. My sincerest condolences to his CHS classmates and teachers as well as his family. 

 Sincerely, 

Mrs Cindy Rotzler

 Academic Counselor Canyon HS Class of 2010

I am so sorry to hear about Ryan. Although I have not spoken with him or have seen him in many years, his lasting impression will always be on my heart. I recall times when I felt low, Ryan was always there to tell you your worth and encourage you with his love. His laugh was contagious and fun loving. He was a true friend that is hard to come by. He will be missed and made this world a better place.

So Sorry to hear about your heartbreaking loss. Ryan worked for me in New England many years ago (coming from the AT&T BSLDP). He had a fantastic sense of humor and was able to couple that personality with the rigors of AT&T.  He made friends quickly where I believe that group had stayed in touch even when he relocated. May his memory be a blessing!
