Ryan was an amazing person who radiated joy and blessed the lives of all who knew him. His glorious spirit spread light and love to everyone. His pure heart extended unconditional acceptance and kindness to others. Ryan’s dazzling smile was like sunshine; his laughter was infectious. He had the most wonderful sense of humor and connectedness.

Ryan attended Gateway Education Center from age 3 to 22, proudly graduating in 2011. He loved his years there.

Ryan enjoyed music, Facetiming with family and friends, playing video games and cards, doing puzzles and board games and watching TV.
