My son Ryan was the oldest of my three children, he had a brilliant mind. He never got in trouble during his years in elementary,  middle, and high school. He was always willing to share his knowledge with others and wanted to serve others. He would help me tutor my students in math after and during school. He had a love for young people and a big desire to make a positive impact on their lives. He never failed to share his love for God with those in his life. At the age of 30, Ryan had tried to help others from drug addiction but was instead overtaken by addiction himself.
