Ryan was the victim of a hate crime, killed because he was gay. On March 14, 2007, Ryan met up with
two acquitances. The men subsequently beat Ryan, stabbed him in excess of twenty times and slit his
throat. The men stole his car and fled. Ryan's body was found the next day.
The first of the two defendents was found guilty of second-degree murder and recieved a life
sentence. The second defendent refused a plea deal and was convicted of first-degree murder for his
part in Ryan's death.
I didn't know Ryan personally, but in everything I have read about him, he was a wonderful person
with a "heart of gold," and great with children. At the time of his death, he was a student
majoring in computer science.
Since his death, members of Ryan's family have become advocates for GLBT rights.

When Angels Came From Heaven
When angels came from heaven
And flew away with you
We were left heartbroken
Not knowing what to do
There was no warning signs
Just a pair of pure white wings
And now we miss you very much
And all the joy you used to bring
We feel an empty space inside
Its a place you used to be
And no one can replace you ever
Even though now your free
We keep asking the same question
Why did it have to be you
But theres never any answers
So what more can we do
We just hold on to your memorys
And keep that space open for you
And when we meet again some day
Our skys shall all turn blue
We miss you more each day that passes
As absence makes the heart grow stronger
And we shall love you forever more
No matter where you wander.

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere.xxxx from christine xxxxx

Ryan,
I didn't know you in this life, but your story has touched my heart. Ever since I heard about it, I've thought of you often. Nobody deserves something like this to happen to them. All my love and prayers go out to you and your loved ones. You will never be forgotten. I hope we will meet in Heaven someday.
Lots of love and hugs,
Jessica
