Stephanie Temme
Words are not enough to convey the loss we feel at Ryan’s passing. When I think of him, I picture him when he was little with his kind eyes, sweet smile, and quiet presence. These features, which stayed with him throughout his life, were a small glimpse of the compassionate and caring child he was and young man he became. He brightened the world through his big heart and will continue to do so through the lives he has touched and the memories he leaves behind. The world is a better place because he was in it and we are thankful for the gifts he brought to this world, his family, and the people around him and the impact he had on so many in such a short period of time here on earth. Ryan, your presence will be dearly missed by those you leave behind. May your spirit fill their hearts and comfort their minds with your everlasting joy and peace until the day you meet again.
With love, Stephanie, Jacob, Catalina, and Elijah
