Rita, Lester and Family,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time in your lives.  Memories of Ryan have been in my thoughts since Hayden called to tell me about the accident.  He was such a joy to have in the classroom.  His smile always made my day.  Ryan had such a desire to learn anything that was new and interesting to him.  He got along with everyone and his laugh was contagious.  He will be missed by all who knew him.

Ryan will be missed here at work.  I think he was more of a younger brother to most of the guys in the shop, rather than a co-worker. He had an easy-going attitude which made him liked by everybody, and easy to get along with.  When there was work to be done, Ryan was busy.  He was never one to complain, he didn't seem to let things bother him, which is surprising considering the daily hassles he dealt with.  (blown-up engines, irritable drivers and missing parts.)  During break-time, you'd find him with the rest of the shop guys, sitting in a circle, chatting. May he rest in peace and keep the trucks running in heaven.

Employees of Three Rivers Transport

Our deepest sympathy. There are no words, except, you're in our thoughts and prayers. God bless your family.
