Her deepest sympathies. Ryan was a sweetheart, very genuine and I don't think he didn't have a person that he didn't know. Thankful that we had the memories that we did for all the pool parties that we had at Grand oaks plantation, those wonderful memories. Praying for all as you go through this difficult time! Love you all.

Dear Diane, words of comfort are difficult to find when you´ve lost someone so close and loved so dearly. Ryan was a special friend to many and he will be missed. Clancy and I always enjoyed the "fish" stories and the fish he would catch for our Sunday School gatherings at the church. May God grant you peace in knowing Ryan belonged to Him and both of you will one day be reunited.

I can never express enough how much Ryan meant to me. He was always there to help and support me and Mama at a moments notice. I always felt I could depend on him even after I moved away. Ryan, you will be missed more than you know.

Much love and blessings to Diane, Troy, Clint, Jason, Tammy and those sweet grandbabies.

When I was told of Ryans passing I couldn't wrap my head around it. Though we hadn't kept in touch as much as we would have liked, whenever I did see Ryan and Diane I was always greeted with a smile and a hug. My thoughts and prayers are with Diane and family.
Fly high Ryan, your smile and sense of humor will be very much missed.
