From Eve Kammer

In the time that I knew Ryan, I learned not only how much he cared for and enjoyed spending time with his family, but how genuinely open he was too include new family. I have enjoyed very much the time that I have spent with him and will keep those memories close to my heart. That being said, my heart also hurts in knowing the pain that is felt right now by his family. I am so truly sorry for your loss.

Dear Leah and all her family; I am so saddened by Ryan’s death. This is a tragedy and I am so sorry for your loss. Through Leah, I watched Ryan grow into a good looking, quietly funny, gentle amazing person. I saw how important family was to Ryan; “family” in his family also translates to “friend”. I remember when Leah and I took a trip to Madison; we had our first cell phones that could text. On the way home, Leah was sending a text; new & amazed to this whole texting experience, I asked Leah what she sent. Leah replied, she said sent Ryan a text that says “Guess what?” Leah started texting again...so again, I asked “what is it you had to tell Ryan?” Leah’s reply… “Chicken Butt?” I write this because this to me symbolizes the friendship of this family; the laughter, the wit, the I don’t have much to say, but you’re on my mind. Ryan was always so kind and considerate to me and my kids. I always welcomed seeing him at every opportunity His passing leave a in the hearts of everyone who knew him! Ryan’s memory will always remain deep within my heart. If there is anything that I can do to help you in anyway, please do not hesitate to call me at any time. I am always here for you and your family at a moment's notice. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you. With deepest sympathy, Kari Witucki-Barrientos “I mean that you have been saved by grace because you believed. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God. You are not saved by the things you have done, so there is nothing to boast about. God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us new people so that we would spend our lives doing the things he had already planned for us to do. (Ephesians 2: 8-10) “‘Though the mountains be shaken and the hills become dust, my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who love you" (Isaiah. 54: 10).

I was only in the lab a short time but knowing Ryan was a joy to know. Always had a smile on his face and a friendly hello for everyone. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Its just such a loss!
From Barbara Craig

Ryan was an extraordinary young man. He was a very conscientious technologist, making sure that every lab result he reported was correct. I worked with Ryan at Gundersen where I trained him in an area of the lab that isn’t covered in school. He tackled the task of learning all new material very diligently and swiftly, putting us in awe of how fast he learned very complex and subjective material. He had a love of learning as evidenced by the stash of slides that he kept in his drawer. (We techs are a strange bunch…we like to save slides of rare conditions to look at later or to show a co-worker who could also learn from them.) Ryan was also fun to work with...he was always coming up with little things to make us laugh, chuckle, or smile. And by little things, I mean actual small objects that he would display in the lab that would make us smile and know that it was Ryan behind them. Ryan, you will be missed terribly by all of us who worked with you. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
From Karen Munns

Ryan was an amazing person who touched my life. He was rare, unique, kind, and sweet. I enjoyed everyday that I worked with him. He was always helpful and patience. It's rare to find someone you can have a conversation with and listens contently, you are that person. Our conversations were always complete and satisfying. Your kind smile will be missed dearly. I pray for your peace in heaven. God watch over your family and friends who will miss you dearly. I wish I had more time to get to know you better. I would have bend over backwards for you. You are worth every moment.
