This really saddens me so much, I will miss Ryan. God seems to take "special" people, so we know Ryan was special.

Very sad news indeed. He sounded like a very special man and I'm sure he will be missed. Condolences to the family.

I am so sad to hear this news.

Ryan was a devoted husband, and friend to all. His writings and style of writing inspired ME to be more creative. He was one that I would re-read his postings 3 or 4 times before moving on.

May he rest in heavenly peace.

Id love to purchase a copy of his book. Think Amazon would have it?

I do not know him well, but I do remember his posts. I pray for his wife to have the strength to get through this.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Patricia.

Ryan... You were a very dear friend and you came to my rescue with meaningful words of wisdom more times than I can count. You inspired me with your insight and your love and loyalty to your dear wife Patty and I will miss you. Patty... I am so sorry... and at a loss for words... (((Hugs)))

Greg thank you for infoming us.

Photonut thank you for pulling Ryans last post. It was eloquent to say the least and unsettling that he knew some of my pain. You can run, you can try to hide and you can fight......

My prayers are with his family.

I did not know Ryan, but I feel exactly the same way about his posts. I'm so sorry for his family and this untimely loss but I am certain that he is being welcomed with open arms in heaven. I thank God for his time here on LBT because it has touched so many.

I too am saddened by the loss of Ryan. What a special sensitive man he was. I feel so sad for Patty and am hoping she will still find some way to get the care she needs. I know Ryan was her life and she was his life. I'll be praying for the family. Teresa

Another quote from Ryan. This one is about a dog-friend. It applies to him as well.

Blessed are they who have found a friend to cherish evermore,

And it matters not if they walk about on two legs, or run about on four.

They all give love and loyalty, and courage for their part.

And passing leave behind them a trail of broken hearts.

I will keep Ryan and his family in my prayers.
