Rawlings Family

Ryan was such a blessing to the Rawlings family.  We treasured his friendship and his unwavering up-beat attitude.  We miss him.  His family was his joy and we are thinking of them today and always.  

With loving thoughts...

This is so sad. I grew up with Ryan, from elementary school (Chester Chief Pride!) through high school.  He was always one of the kids we looked up to.  Ryan was a very generous and empathetic person even as a young man, and I always respected willingness to befriend anybody that shared his passions.

Ryan and I shared common interests in academics, competitive sports (early on, he was our QB, point guard, and always captain of any team) and outdoor sports.  He and his family were so kind to this "valley floor kid" over the years, and I have always been grateful for that.

I've always felt that Ryan was a special person meant to do great things, and am deeply sorry that we've been deprived of the wisdom and insight that a person of his caliber could bring to bear in his prime years.

My deepest condolences to Ryan's family and friends who are grappling with the loss of this great man, and I can only hope they take some solace in knowing that the reach of Ryan's positive impact on others spans decades of time and thousands of miles.

Fair winds and following seas, old friend.
