    As I sit here praying about the service tomorrow Like most I have been thinking he was much to young, with so much love to give. Than I keep hearing Jesus’ words “Suffer the little children to come unto me for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these”. I trust God has welcomed Ryan with open arms and a love and comfort he has never known before.

    Ryan was a fantastic person who loved life. We will always cherish the times we had at the race tracks. He loved the sport and enjoyed it very much with all of his family and friends. He will be missed dearly but never forgotten. He always made you laugh when you were sad and always knew how to put a smile on your face. We love you Ryan Robert.

    Sorry to read about the passing of Ryan. It’s sad to see someone loved by so many, with so much to look forward to have to pass. Despite the pain take comfort in the hope of seeing him again (John 5:28,29). In a world free of sick, pain and death. Where time and unforeseen occurrence will not take away the ones we love. Their Ryan can be united with the ones he loved, and reach his full potential (Revelation 21:3,4)
