It's hard on days like this to chin up. Pain is one of those things, that unlike sweetness, leaves a lasting scar that stays with you. It's hard to remember the happy times because they leave no scars. We learn so little from peace, but that isn't how Ryan was. Ryan left us with a presence that will stick with us for the rest of our lives. For nearly two decades Ryan has made me laugh on almost a daily bases. Through his acerbic cutting wit he shaped those around him to better themselves, and taught his audience peace of mind through comedy. He conquered my heart, and for that I will always be haunted by his smile.

Thank you Ryan. We loved you.
