Ryan was a savvy, strong and courageous leader. He taught me a great deal about finance, business and life in general. I am deeply saddened by his untimely passing but take comfort that he is at peace and no longer in pain. Ryan fought a good fight and the battle is over.
May he Rest in Perfect Peace.

I never had the chance to work for Ryan, but got to know him at Starbucks. Every morning when I though I’d be the first in the office, Ryan was already there, with a smile on his face. We’d cordially talk football, cars, and motorcycles for a few moments – and then onto our ways we went.
Ryan showed a genuine interest in people, had a contagious charisma, and could galvanize sad spirits. His early departure is a massive loss, but I’m privileged to have known him. Rest easy Ryan.

Ryan- Always enjoyed being with you. It was fun to pick on you and have you laugh at my jokes. You came to Oklahoma when you were young and washed my car and asked me if you did a good job. I bragged on you and you had a great big smile. Heaven is sweeter now. Many of our family are in heaven and I know it was a great reunion. Love, Uncle Gene

Please know your father was not only smart and well respected but someone always willing to lend a hand a support others during his busy days. I personally experienced this when I joined Starbucks in 2014 and had the opportunity to work directly with your Dad.
His spirit, kindness and connection with others will be missed.
