Ryan was born on Halloween and maybe that should have been our first clue how full of mischief (trouble?) he might be. There was never a dull moment as he grew up.
He was always pushing the limits, especially to show his little brother who was the big brother. Russ said he wasn't sure why he would agree to get on the back of Ryan's motorcycle, but boy those were some eye opening rides! Or agree to play BB gun wars, with our "one pump rule", knowing you'd hear him repeatedly cocking his gun from a sniper position as we entered the woods!
Rachelle shared some of her memories as well. Playing Nintendo together, Super Mario to start and then Legends of Zelda later. Family game nights, throwing the Catch Phrase game. �� Ladderball. Scattergories while camping (remember Jennifer putting "gazebo" for weapons and Ryan losing his mind? ������).
We will miss Ryan's big heart, huge hugs and laughter. We are thankful that he loved God and are grateful to know we will be together again.
Please join us in adding memories you have of Ryan.
