Coworker and Friend

Ryan was never one to miss a coworker's farewell lunch -- if they were from the 7th floor or 8th floor, here for 6 years or 6 months. That's the type of guy he was. Whether you just met him or knew him for years, you liked him. His infectious laugh and sense of humour, his generosity, kindness and his willingness to break into song at a moment's notice. You couldn't help but leave a conversation with him and think how lucky you were to know him.

Upon my notifying a friend of Ryan's passing, he said: "I met him at the Nomad, on your 28th birthday if I'm not mistaken. Ryan and I shared a reverence for Jameson. I remember I liked him instantly. Actually I was a little nervous that day and talking to him about Jameson's put me at ease and I ended up having a good time. I thought he was a good guy"

I'm lucky to have known you. Hope you found peace Ryan. You will be missed.
