May you rest in peace ryan Im going to miss the talks and all the good time we had together from talking about life to sports to simply the things we connect about. You really made highschool a fun time and a memory i will hold on too and cherish for the rest of time. Whenever someone was down you always had a way of putting a smile on there face somehow even if it was hard youd find a way. I never saw you with a frown or even a doubt of sadness you lived life to the fullest and you where yourself. Im gonna miss you dearly my friend my brother and always my dawg for life.

My favorite memory will always be of Ryan and Grace dancing at Abe and Molly's wedding. They were so young and innocent. I wish we could have kept them that little forever!

Ryan was the bestest friend a person could ever have. I never went without a smile because of him. I will love him for the rest of my life.

Back to being a kid again
I had the joy of seeing Ryno’s warm smile every other day in my law class.  There was a warmth, gentleness, and goodness to his soul that always exuded from his eyes and demeanor.   It is clear he was a friend to so many and made such a positive mark in his classes and activities at Eaglecrest. Ryno— your absence from our class and the lives of all you touched is palpable.   Sending my deepest sympathies to all of his friends and family as you struggle through these difficult days.  
We are heartbroken at your loss. Losing a child is one of the hardest things a person could go through and there are no words for such a loss, other than to let you know that we are hurting for you.

I am so devastated to hear about Ryan's passing. He was such a wonderful and great friend he always made my day better either at work or school. Every time I was scheduled with Ryan to work, I looked forward to work so I could joke with him. Once I saw him on the first day of Senior year in my 1A class I couldn’t wait for that class so I could joke with him and start my morning well. Nothing he ever did was without a smile, a laugh, or a joke. He always wanted to help people, my last conversation with him was about what we want to do after high school and he told me and our class that he wanted to be a paramedic.  It shows his character of how he always was looking to help. That’s how he lived. 

May you rest easy Ryan, Thank you for letting me be apart of your story…even it was only for a year, I’m glad I got to be apart of that story

I am so incredibly sorry to hear about the passing of Ryan. I was his English teacher freshman year at Eaglecrest. He was such a joy to have in the classroom. He was the type of kid that made learning seem cool, and he was always engaging and encouraging to others. He'd stop by to visit sophomore and junior years, and he'd even come and participate in my classes during his off periods sometimes. Every time I saw him, it brightened my day. He was the type of kid that made everybody feel like a somebody. I"m so sorry his life was cut too short. 
Our hearts are broken at the news of your sons passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.

All our love,

Jon and Steph Weinland
