Ryan was a Joker always making people laugh. He lived his own life and did not care what people thought about how he lived. He was happy being himself. Ryan loved his family.
Ryan was active in recovery and had 13 years of clean time. He felt the people in the Clear Lake Group of NA were all very much part of his family and loved them dearly.

Carolyn, we moved away when I was ten. I only knew Ryan a little from when we came to visit a couple of times, and once in Texas City. I remember him being happy and fun. And self confident. I liked Ryan. I am sorry he has passed. I admire the resilience you have shown in the attitude that my mom(Kathy) told me you have with this. We prayed for Ryan right after we heard upon him leaving earth. May God be with you guys in this time of bereavement. Sincerely, your cousin Robbie
Ryan, had the most contagious laugh and a heartfull of mischievousness. I will carry the sweet memories of him and the times spent with him. Thank you Carolyn for raising such a sweet, loving man. I know life threw him many curves, but you taught him very well how to overcome all obstacles. Gods blessings to you’re family, let your sweet memories bring you peace, and comfort.
Much too young. Please take care of Don, Mark, and All our old friends that passed on. We’ll see you again someday friend. Thanks for all the memories and the good times. We’ll never forget you. Channel 16 & The Rocks would never have been the same without you there.
Sunshine (Lisa) over & out
All my love to Carolyn & Bill. May Ryan rest in peace.
