Wednesday night, one of the most extraordinary people died, at home, with his family, the he wanted it to be. He’d fought a tough battle with a rare bone cancer, and he’d won – because in the face of it all, he was the one who managed to find the silver lining. He helped others, many of them better off than he was, and he did it with a smile on his face. Someone whose attitude was bright and kind, he found a way to make you feel better when you were feeling down, even if it was just something small, it mattered. Ryan, you did it,
YOU CONKERRED!

This quote was taken from Ryan's facebook wall :

“Over the last few days, I’ve been mulling over what to say, how to describe your wonderful life in a few sentences, and unfortunately, am still at a loss. You truly did live life the fullest. You were the epitome of a true friend, classmate, role model, hero, and inspiration. The things you did, the things you accomplished in short amount a time, the only way to describe it as awe inspiring. It hardly seems fair that you had to be taken from us so soon when you had still so much to give, but you’re in a better place and better equipped and able to continue your mission to help others and bring smiles to thousands.
It was truly a pleasure to have known and befriended you, and I will always truly cherish the time and experiences we had together.
thank you for everything”
