My deepest condolences to the family of Ryan. Nothing can be more heartbreaking than losing a child. I lost my daughter a year and half ago & miss her dearly every single day.
Ryan was a good friend to my grandchildren, Lucas &Talya Andrews when they were neighbors- a delightful child with an adoring smile.
My prayers are with you all & hope the coming days will find comfort for you - “Hugs”
The memory of Ryan will always remain in our hearts. He was a great young man and we loved him dearly.
Ryan would always greet us with a smile and a hug, no matter how many months would pass in between visits. He was an absolute joy and we loved him very very much.
We have been heartbroken since we first heard of Ryan's illness and we never gave up hoping and praying that he would be able to 'beat' this terrible disease.
We will make a donation to the Cancer Society in Ryan's name in the hopes that other young people never have to suffer as Ryan did. It would be what we think Ryan would want us to do.
We will be planting a tree in Ryan's memory this spring, and will let you know where it will be.
We send our love to Danielle, Lucas, Mackenzie and Gavin and the other family members.
I am the Mom to Jessica Lombardo. Jessica spoke fondly of Ryan and was devastated to hear of his passing. My warm thoughts and prayers are with all of you and will remember Ryan as always putting a smile on my daughter. God Bless You!
so very sad to hear of Ryan's passing I remember him as a sweet little boy who came to play with my kids when he was visiting his dad in Saintfield my deepest condolences to you all xo
DO NOT STAND AT MY
GRAVE AND WEEP
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the song that will never end.
I am the love of family and friend.
I am the child who has come to rest
In the arms of the Father
who knows him best.
When you see the sunset fair,
I am the scented evening air.
I am the joy of a task well done.
I am the glow of the setting sun.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

Ryan, I’ll never forget the first day I met you, I remember that big beautiful smile that never left your face once when we were all having a blast at the Woodville public school, I’m going to miss you man, we’ve had a lot of great memories, I hope you rest easy and peaceful Ryan, I love you buddy, heaven truly did gain another beautiful angel ❤️
So sorry for your loss. Praying for you all at this time. Ryan will be in our hearts forever. He was such a special young man who made everyone smile and his caring nature touched so many. I work as an EA at Port and I had the opportunity to work in a couple of gym classes he was in and It made my day as he was always smiling. He is the most courageous young person I have known. He put up a strong fight these past few months. It was so nice seeing him in class a few weeks back. He will be missed and will be in our Hearts Forever ❤️ Rest in peace Ryan ❤️
