Christmas is always a hard time for our family. Ryan loved Christmas and found great joy in giving and receiving gifts. OK maybe getting more than giving LOL. Missed EVERYDAY and the void is unbearable 

Be sure to read Farren’s tribute to her brother under Family Memories… it took my breath away. 
When we lost Ryan on the last day of September of 2005 our family was devastated. We lost not only our son and brother but our business associate and our friend. I did not want one act of Ryan’s life to overshadow his essence, his infectious humor or his love of his family and friends. We thought about a website loaded with the fun and fond memories of Ryan’s life and a place where you, his friends could leave a thought, photo or a fun story and revisit Ryan when it stirs your soul to see him. We also thought that if we included information about suicide and bipolar disease that we might be able to save someone who is suffering as Ryan suffered and prevent another family from having to experience the pain that our family has had to endure.
