I only new Ryan for the past year, but we both shared a love for home hi fi stereos and music. We bonded while hanging out, grilling on the BBQ, and listening to music. Ill miss my friend, and I'll be sure to play a few songs like your still here. You may be gone, but you'll always be remembered.

Ryan, man, it's tough knowing you're gone. We met almost two decades ago at the Pentagon working for the OSD, but it was our shared obsession with music, top-notch audio gear, good eats, and sweet rides that made us tight. You were a total nerd about speaker design, crafting them like nobody else. Those late-night chats about stereos, geek-out on dipole and bipole speakers, grabbing Mike's burgers, and cruising in your pristine red Porsche 944 - those moments are gold. You left us way too soon, and it's just not the same without you. Love you, man-you'll be missed forever.

Ryan gave this incredibly spiritual talk at church that really resonated with me and wanted me to be a better person. He was incredibly intelligent and could recognize evil quickly and knew righteousness was the only way to combat it.

I will always remember Ryan as a kind and gentle presence. Although quiet, his warmth and sweet nature never went unnoticed. Thinking of all those who were lucky enough to know and love Ryan.

Although I did not know Ryan for a long period of time, he had numerous attributes that impressed me…..
He had a smiled that brightened the room! And, although Ryan was a bit quiet, he thought and cared for others in his words and actions.
We discussed his faith and acceptance in Christ Jesus as his Savior.
Ryan was at peace with his earthly journey when all treatment modalities failed. While I am saddened that he leaves behind those that loved him dearly, Ryan knew that our time on earth is but a brief pause in our eternal journey with our Heavenly Father.
May all Ryan’s family and friends be comforted in knowing he is resting in the presence of the Lord.

Ryan worked for me years ago supporting the Secretary of Defense website. We had a great time working together, Ryan was a quiet fellow but exceptionally good at computer programming. I was lucky to be able to talk with Ryan about a week before he passed and we shared some memories. It is so sad to have him pass so young, I grieve for his family who I know will miss him dearly. My sincere condolences, I wish I could attend the services but am unable to. I know all of those who worked with him on my team will miss him.

Ryan was my cousin, and someone I’ll always remember for his sense of humor, his loyalty, and the way he made people feel seen and valued. I’m especially grateful for my recent visit to Utah — he showed me around like a local, proud of every place he shared. That time meant a lot to me. I’ll miss him deeply, but I’ll carry those memories with me.

My heart goes out to you Dennis and the family of such a great loss of such a beautiful young man. I remember him when he was a little boy coming to visit at his grandmothers house how beautiful he was with that head full of beautiful blonde hair. But now he is in the arms of Jesus in a better place up in heaven and one wonderful day you we will see him again along with all our past loved ones. What a wonderful day that will be!
