Susan Debra Spurlock

Susan Debra Spurlock (née Bajza), born March 3, 1958, passed away peacefully on August 18, 2026. In her final days, she was surrounded by the people she loved most. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Susie lived a life defined by fierce loyalty, unshakeable love, and a spirit as vibrant as her favorite color- cobalt blue.

She is preceded in death by her beloved parents, Anne and Mike Bajza, whose love and influence shaped the foundation of the woman she became.

Life & Love

Susie married the love of her life, Robert Spurlock, and together they recently celebrated 50 years of marriage-a testament to their deep partnership, shared humor, and unwavering devotion.

She was the proud mother of Robert "Bobby" (Nicole) and Mike (Carmela), and the adoring grandmother of Olin, Mae, Carter, and Mia. Her family was her world, and she poured her entire heart into them-showing up with warmth, wit, and a steadfastness that made everyone feel safe and deeply loved.

Family & Roots

In her final days, Susie was held close by her family:

• Sister Paula Baim

• Nephew Eric (Christine) Baim

• Niece April (Jason) Gast

• Great-nephews Andrew Baim and Vincent Gast

• Great-nieces Callista Baim and Alice Gast

Their presence reflected the lifelong bonds Susie nurtured-relationships strengthened by her generosity, humor, and the sharp, thoughtful mind that made her both a confidante and a guiding force.

A Heart for Animals

Susie's love extended beyond people. She cherished every creature that crossed her path-from the current family dog Abby, her soul dog, to the beloved pups who came before her (Ink, Indy, Snickers, and Percy), to the family turtle Davey, the occasional visiting painter turtle, and all the barn cats who always knew they'd find kindness at her door.

Animals trusted her. They sensed her gentle soul.

Creativity, Humor, and the Color Blue

Susie was an artist in every sense-whether she was painting, tending to her plants, or bringing beauty into everyday life. She loved the color blue, perhaps because it mirrored her own qualities: calming, deep, and quietly radiant.

She had a sharp mind, a kind heart, and a wicked sense of humor that could catch you off guard and leave you laughing long after. She was beautiful-inside and out-even if she never quite believed it herself.

Most of all, she was the best wife, mom and grandma, the kind who showed up, listened, protected, and loved with her whole being.

Legacy & Wishes

Susie leaves behind a legacy of devotion, creativity, and compassion. Her stubbornness was a strength; her loyalty, a gift; her passion, a force that shaped her family's lives in ways they will carry forever.

Susie and Bob moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2023, and in keeping with her wishes, Susie will be cremated.

Tricia Leigh Grona

In Loving Memory of Tricia Grona

Today, we gather to remember and celebrate the life of Tricia Grona, a beloved sister, mother, daughter, friend, and a beautiful soul who touched the lives of so many.

Tricia was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1969 and eventually made her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was the beloved daughter of the late Margitta Grona and the late Patrick Grona, and the cherished sister of Vicki Huntley. Above all, Tricia was a loving mother to her daughter, Macie Larmore, who was a very special part of her life.

Tricia had a gift for making people feel beautiful, both inside and out. After attending beauty college, she became one of the best hairdressers and nail technicians around. Her talent was undeniable, but it was her personality, kindness, and genuine care for people that made her so special. She didn't simply do someone's hair or nails-she made connections, shared laughter, listened, and made people feel welcomed and valued.

Tricia found joy in the simple things that made life meaningful. She loved gardening, fishing, and spending time socializing with the people around her. She had an incredible ability to bring people together. Wherever Tricia was, there was often laughter, conversation, and friendship. She surrounded herself with many friends, and those friendships were a reflection of the love and warmth she gave so freely.

One of the greatest things about Tricia was her heart for others. She was always willing to help someone in need and often put the needs of others before her own. She gave her time, her kindness, and her love without expecting anything in return. She had a way of making people feel like they mattered-and to Tricia, they truly did.

Her passing leaves an emptiness that cannot be filled. Her family, her daughter Macie, her sister Vicki, and the many friends who loved her will feel her absence deeply. But along with the sadness, we can hold onto the countless memories she gave us: the laughter, the conversations, the friendships, the kindness, and all the moments that made Tricia uniquely Tricia.

Tricia was loved by many, and she will be missed by many. Her life was a gift to everyone fortunate enough to know her, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched.

Today, we don't say goodbye to the love we have for Tricia. We carry that love with us. We hold her memory close to our hearts and give thanks for every moment we were blessed to share with her.

Rest peacefully, Tricia. You were deeply loved, you made a difference, and you will never be forgotten.

Paul David Frech

Paul Frech, 63, a beloved husband, son, father, and grandfather, was called to his eternal resting place on August 23, 2026. He was born on June 7, 1963, in Alva, Oklahoma, to Johnny and Clara Frech.

Paul was a warm and unforgettable presence to everyone fortunate enough to know him. Outgoing, social, and naturally extroverted, he had a gift for connecting with people wherever he went. He never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Paul was known for going above and beyond for others, especially in the care he provided to those around him. His friendly nature, quick sense of humor, and genuine compassion made him someone people felt comfortable around and truly cared for.

Paul had a deep love for farming and cherished the time he spent working alongside his family. He took great pride in caring for his father's farm-the family farm. The land was more than just a place to work; it was a connection to his family, his roots, and the life he treasured.

Throughout his career, Paul worked in transportation, where his outgoing personality and ability to connect with people served him well. Whether through his work, his time on the farm, or simply in everyday life, Paul had a way of making people feel welcomed and valued.

Above all, Paul treasured his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose love was evident in the time he shared with them and the countless memories they created together-memories that will remain in their hearts forever. One of Paul's greatest joys was playing "babydolls" with his beloved granddaughter, Little Allie. Those precious moments of laughter, love, and imagination will forever hold a special place in her heart and will be cherished for years to come.

Paul will be deeply missed by his spouse, Donita Frech; his son, Cody Frech; his daughter, Cortney Frech; his grandchildren; and all of his family, friends, and loved ones who had the privilege of knowing him.

Though his earthly journey has come to an end, Paul's kindness, laughter, humor, and love will continue to live on through the many lives he touched. His family finds comfort in knowing that he is now at peace, forever held in God's loving embrace.

May his memory be a blessing, and may the love he gave so freely continue to shine through those who knew and loved him.

Brandon Alex James Noon

Brandon Alex James Noon, 28, of Tulsa and Okemah, Oklahoma, was born August 20, 1998, in Tulsa to Eric Ray and Jennifer Lynn (McCarty) Noon. Brandon was a young man with so much life ahead of him, and his tragic passing has left a deep emptiness in the hearts of all who loved him.

Brandon was kind-hearted, strong, loving, and full of life. He was a free spirit with an outgoing personality and knew how to have a good time. He loved his family deeply, and they loved him just as deeply in return. His family was at the center of his life, and the memories they shared with him will be treasured forever.

Growing up in Tulsa and Okemah, Brandon attended Okemah High School, where he was active in football and enjoyed athletics. He was a hard worker who never shied away from working for what he wanted. When he wasn't working, Brandon enjoyed hunting, especially small game hunting, and spending time outdoors. He loved playing video games, particularly Call of Duty, and enjoyed traveling with his family. Some of his favorite trips included Tennessee, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and family vacations.

Brandon was also deeply connected to his Native heritage and culture. He was a member of New Tulsa Ceremonial Grounds and was very much in tune with his Native roots. At the same time, he embraced the Lord and believed in God. His faith and connection to his culture were important parts of who he was.

Above all, Brandon will be remembered for his heart. He loved his mother, siblings, nieces, extended family, and friends fiercely. He brought laughter, energy, and love wherever he went. His life was far too short, but the love he gave and the memories he created will remain with his family forever. He will be missed more deeply than words can express.

Brandon is survived by his mother, Jennifer Noon; siblings, Jordan Young (Heather) of Tulsa, Kayla Noon (Michael) of Okmulgee, and Ashton Noon (Halie) of Okemah; nieces, Sharline, Natalie, Raelynn, Amayla'Dey, and Giovanni Creed; grandparents, Brenda Cummings and Lee Stokes; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and other loved ones who will forever carry him in their hearts.

He was preceded in death by his father, Eric Ray Noon; brother, Nathaniel "Nate" Noon; grandfather Jack McCarty; and great-grandmothers, Pat Noon and Sandra Simpson.

A Celebration of Brandon's Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 26, 2026, at Schaudt Glenpool-Bixby Funeral Service.

Though Brandon was taken from this world far too soon, he leaves behind a family who loved him beyond measure. His memory will live on in the stories, laughter, traditions, and love he shared with those who knew him best. He will never be forgotten.

Nikole Mae Mauldin

Nikole Mae Mauldin passed away with her loving family by her side on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the age of 48.

Nikole was born on July 16, 1978, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She grew up in Tulsa and attended Bishop Kelley High School. Throughout her life, Nikole was known for her caring and generous nature, her memorable sense of humor, and her ability to bring laughter to the people around her. She was also a self-proclaimed clean freak who liked everything to have its place.

Nikole met her husband through mutual friends. Their relationship quickly grew, and after six months of dating, they became engaged. The couple married on October 25, 2008, at St. Catherine Catholic Church in Tulsa.

Family was at the center of Nikole's life. She especially treasured being a grandmother and the time she spent surrounded by those she loved. She had a playful and creative side and enjoyed making balloon animals, often bringing smiles and laughter to family gatherings.

Nikole also showed her love for others through food. Her family will remember some of her favorites, including homemade chicken and dumplings, donuts, and her strawberry Jell-O cake. These familiar dishes became part of the memories created around her kitchen and family table.

Traveling was another joy in Nikole's life. One of her favorite destinations was Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge near Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a place she enjoyed visiting and returning to over the years.

Nikole knew how to enjoy the simple things in life and had plenty of favorites that reflected her personality. She loved settling in to watch The Golden Girls, and she rarely passed up an episode of The First 48 or Dateline. Whether she was laughing along with a familiar sitcom or trying to figure out the details of a true-crime story, these shows were part of the downtime she enjoyed.

She also loved painting her nails and taking the time to make them look just right. It was one of the little things she enjoyed doing for herself and another reflection of the attention to detail that was so much a part of who she was.

Halloween was Nikole's favorite holiday, and she looked forward to it each year. She enjoyed the decorations, costumes, and fun that came with the season. Halloween gave her another opportunity to be creative, have a good time, and share some laughs with the people she loved.

These everyday favorites-the television shows she watched, freshly painted nails, and her love for Halloween-are among the small but meaningful things her family and friends will remember when they think of Nikole.

She is survived by her loving husband, Brian Mauldin, two daughters: Olivia Mosley and Erica Dickenson; her grandchildren: Brooklyn, Gracie, Sophia, Emily and one on the way, Camden.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, her mother; Therese and one son Jackson.

Arrangements are entrusted to Schaudt Glenpool-Bixby Funeral Service & Cremation Care Centers, 1329 East 151st Street, Glenpool, OK 74033. Family and friends may leave kind words of comfort, special memories and condolences to the family online at www.schaudtfuneralservice.com

Clarence Green, III

Clarence Green III, affectionately known as “Fish,” was born on November 29, 1965, to Judia Ann Green and the late Clarence Green Sr. in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On August 17, 2026, Clarence departed this life, leaving behind family and friends who will forever carry his memory.

Clarence received his education through Tulsa Public Schools and attended McLain High School. Throughout his working years, he was employed in labor, where he valued the ability to work, provide for himself, and maintain his independence.

Those who knew Clarence understood that he was a unique individual with a personality all his own. He was not one to follow the crowd. He had his own perspective, his own approach to life, and a way of handling things that was distinctly Clarence. He was comfortable with simplicity and understood what was important to him.

Clarence never married and did not have children, but family remained an important part of his life. He maintained a close-knit circle of relatives and friends. His circle may have been small, but the relationships within it were meaningful. He appreciated the people who stood by him, and in return, he could be counted on when someone close to him needed a helping hand.

Clarence possessed a quiet resilience. His journey through life was not always easy, but he continued to move forward and find ways to take care of himself. He faced life's circumstances as they came and made the most of the opportunities before him. His independence was an important part of who he was.

Clarence will be lovingly remembered by his mother Judia Green, sister, Andrea Green, and his brother, Tony Daniels, and Tony's wife, Latosha Daniels. He also leaves to cherish his memory his nieces, Brittany Russell, Shamika Brown, and Ashley Green, and his nephews, Christian Daniels and Lachlan Hicks, along with extended family members and cherished friends.

His passing leaves an absence that cannot be replaced, but the memories created throughout his life will continue to bring comfort to those who knew and loved him. The laughter, conversations, shared experiences, and moments spent together will remain a lasting part of his family's story.

As Clarence's loved ones reflect on his life, the words of 2 Timothy 4:7 offer comfort and perspective:

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”

Clarence's earthly journey has now come to an end. He leaves behind the memories of a life marked by independence, perseverance, and his own unique spirit.

Though his journey here is finished, Clarence Green III will continue to live on in the hearts and memories of his family and friends.

Rest peacefully, Fish. You will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever a part of our family.

Charles Neil Buckman

Charles "Chuck" Neil Buckman passed away on Monday, August 10, 2026, at the age of 86.

Chuck was born on January 26, 1940, in Arkansas, to Odell and Mary (Tygart) Buckman. He attended Wichita High School and later continued his education by attending college for a couple of years.

Chuck built a varied career that reflected his strong work ethic and willingness to take on new opportunities. In his early working years, he worked as a residential house painter and later in paint sales, an industry he truly enjoyed. Chuck eventually transitioned into pipeline coating inspection and became NACE certified, spending the last 20 years of his career working in the field.

Chuck was a true people person. He had a remarkable ability to walk into a room, remember everyone, and make people feel as though they mattered. He enjoyed visiting, building friendships, and simply being around others. His genuine interest in people was one of the qualities that made him so memorable to those who knew him.

One of Chuck's greatest joys was horseback riding, especially when he could share that passion with his son and grandson. They would spend many, many hours a week together riding horses and traveling everywhere they could on horseback. Those countless hours in the saddle created treasured memories and represented so much of what Chuck loved-being outdoors, riding, and spending meaningful time with his family.

He was a baptized believer and faithful disciple of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and actively participated in his local church congregation in ministering to others. He lived his faith until the end looking forward to the eternal rest promised to all who believe and obey.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, Odell and Mary Buckman; his first wife, Alice Ann Buckman; his second wife, Frances Walker Buckman; and his youngest son, Jeffrey "Jeff" Buckman.

Chuck leaves many loving memories with his son, Steve Buckman and his daughter-in-law, Linda Buckman, his grandson, Matt Buckman, and his daughter-in-law, Dale Buckman Nuaman, the wife of Jeff.

He has three nieces and nephews, Ann Roache and husband John, Sarah Taylor and husband Jerry, and David Minchew and his wife, Jan.

Chuck has one surviving cousin, Janine "Jeannie" Tygart Villers.

Through his marriage to Frances, he happily welcomed her sons into his family, Steve Walker and wife Judy, Brian Walker and wife Jeannie, Todd Walker and wife Jana, and a host of grandchildren along with Frances' sister, Sharon and husband Carl, and many other loving relatives, treasured friends, and all those whose lives were touched by his friendship and outgoing personality.

A Funeral Service to honor and celebrate the life of Charles "Chuck" Neil Buckman will be held at 10:00 AM on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at Schaudt's Glenpool-Bixby Funeral Service, 1329 East 151st Street South, Glenpool, Oklahoma. The family invites everyone to remain following the service for a reception with light refreshments in the Schaudt Glenpool-Bixby Reception Room.

Arrangements are entrusted to Schaudt Glenpool-Bixby Funeral Service & Cremation Care Centers, 1329 East 151st Street, Glenpool, OK 74033.

Carolyn Sue Osmond

Carolyn Sue Osmond, dearly loved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on August 14, 2026, at the age of 94.

Sue was born on March 10, 1932, in Atwood, Oklahoma, to Agnes and Ira Blackburn. She was one of ten children, with six sisters and three brothers, all of whom she adored. She attended Atwood schools, where she loved playing softball and basketball.

After graduating from high school, Sue took college courses at East Central University before beginning work at the Hughes County Extension office. She later opened a gas station and diner with her brother in Wetumka, Oklahoma. It was there that she met a highway patrolman named John Osmond. They married, beginning a life together that would take them and their family to communities across Oklahoma as John fulfilled his duties with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

John had three children, John, Judy, and Donnie, and Sue helped raise them, loving and treating them as her own. Together, John and Sue later adopted three children: Donna in 1962, Kay in 1964, and Bill in 1967.

Sue devoted her life to her family. Being a wife, mother, and grandmother was her greatest work and joy. She was a constant, positive influence on everyone she met and was always supportive of John and his various business ventures. She always served as the family bookkeeper helping manage the family's many endeavors.

Sue loved sports of all kinds, but she was especially fond of the Oklahoma Sooners and the OSU Cowboys. She will be remembered for her devotion to her family, her positive spirit, and the love she freely gave to those around her.

She is survived by her daughter, Donna Hill of Denver, Colorado; her son, Bill and his wife DeRhonda of Tulsa, Oklahoma; and her grandchildren, Justin Godwin, Jenifer Butler, Jacob Hall and Kaylin Hall, Carly Keller, and Bryce, Blake, and Lauren Osmond.

Ryan Temple Geisler

Ryan Temple Geisler (43) of Tulsa, OK left this earth on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, to go live in his heavenly home with his Savior Jesus Christ. The cause of his death is pending. It is difficult to write of his parting so soon; however, we take comfort believing he is in the presence of God's perfect love and the Holy Spirit's perfect peace. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13; Joel 2:32) "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." (II Corinthians 5:8)

Ryan was born the second child of two sons in Katy, Texas on November 22, 1982. His father and stepmother are Michael Eugene Geisler and Sue Jean Fitzpatrick Geisler of Montgomery, Texas. His grandfather is Mickey Temple Geisler of Texas; his grandmother was Martha Ann Geisler. She preceded him in death. He loved his family and looked forward to visiting, especially spending time with his grandpa and going out on the lake in the fishing boat with his dad. His grandfather and father were pillars of strength in Ryan's life. He was forever grateful for the love, discipline, boundaries, and structure his stepmother brought into his life. In recent years he felt the desire to glean as much wisdom as he could from family patriarchs and matriarchs.

His mother and stepfather are Angela Rose and Walter Goodin of Tulsa, Oklahoma. His grandmother is Carlene Rose Bradford of Lake Village, Arkansas. Ryan's older brother, Michael Aaron Geisler, preceded him in death. In Ryan's last days he spent considerable time taking care of the needs of his mother and stepfather. These tasks included but were not limited to cleaning, purging unnecessary household items, organizing, reviewing and researching resources and benefits, helping take care of them in illness and driving them to doctor visits. His mother and stepfather were very supportive of Ryan's ministry through prayer, encouragement, and attendance at various ministry opportunities. His grandmother, a very spiritual person, prayed much for Ryan as well.

Ryan leaves behind his wife of seven years, Gloria Lynn Geisler and two stepchildren, Elijah Daniel (22) and Glory Hope (18) Mercier. Being a stepfather can be very challenging, but Ryan navigated it in a most gracious way that strengthened the bond between the children and all the adults in their lives. He fully understood the importance of both biological parents and supported father, David Mercier, in his role. In a very beautiful way, he promoted peace, unity and a loving family. He was faithful, a good provider and not only kept up with the family residence, but also with two rented houses. Ryan and Gloria shared a love for God and a desire to serve Him. They were used together in pastoral roles, prayer, financial generosity, teaching, worship, and leadership at Calvary Messianic Congregation, and wherever other doors opened. Their dance ministries included both interpretive and Hebrew dance, and teachings that brought understanding to the culture and rhythms of Hebrew roots.

He also leaves behind, on his father's side: twin stepbrothers Kyle and Ethan Sleezer; second cousins: Ken & Rachel Johnson & family, Ken & Judith Wilson & family and Tom Wilson; Aunt Marsha Neese, Great Uncle and Great Aunt Bob & Marilyn Wilson and their children Rob Wilson and Beca Glenn. On his mother's side: Uncles Jonathan Bradford, Carlon Bradford, Carl Michael, Franklin Jones and Aunt Carlena Faith. On his wife's side: mother-in-law Gloria Rose Ladanyi, sisters-in-law Maria Gunter & family and Lisa Dronet & family, and brother-in-law Frankie Ladanyi, wife Brittany & family. His father-in-law Frank Zigmont Ladanyi preceded him in death.

Ryan loved his animals, and they loved him. His dogs were named "Lucky" and "Bella". His cats were named "Kitty" and "Blair". He also fostered an abused dog named "Remy" until a good home was found for him. Can you imagine the excitement of the three animals that preceded him in death when Ryan arrived in heaven? What a joy-filled thought!

Ryan was extremely dedicated to Boomerang Printing where he worked for 15 years. He felt very close to the owner, Tom Wilson, his second cousin. He admired Tom very much and often talked about him and Boomerang to anyone who would listen. He was thankful for his job and training. Ryan worked with other family members also, but the entire staff was actually a family to him. He was skilled, productive, extremely organized, accomplished a lot in any one given day, yet a humble learner continually striving for personal improvement. He had a desire for his wife and stepchildren to work with him in this business. Even though he functioned proficiently in all areas of the business, the last position he held was overseeing the Bindery Department. Ryan had a funny nickname "The Dog". He acquired this name because, like a dog will not let go of a bone, nor would he let go of a job once he had a hold of it. He considered this job as part of God's ministry for him, so he put his whole heart and soul into it. Ryan aspired to be a part of running the company one day and had a vision to keep it faith-centered and family-operated. There was a certain angst however, because he loved church ministry and knew God had a call upon his life. He was frustrated that he did not have more time for the church. He felt torn between work and church ministry and eventually must choose between the two because he could not figure out a way to do both as he desired.

Ryan received his Doctorate degree in Theology from CMC's International Bible University and International Messianic Institute under Doctors Rabbi Avraham and Rebbetzin Irmeli Libertus. He was an eloquent speaker and a gifted teacher. As previously mentioned, he had a wonderful gift for Hebrew dance which he did with his wife and CMC Hebrew dance teams over the years. Many would say that his most unique gift was blowing the shofar (antelope's horn). He was recognized to carry it with him just in case he might feel the Spirit guiding him to minister with it somewhere. One very special moment was when God prompted him to blow it in Washington DC where it was believed to be of great consequence for needed change. He loved the Jewish people and supported Israel with prayers, finances, and defending/advocating for them. He was bold to speak out against antisemitism and to stand for what was biblically true. Ryan had the privilege of teaching believers in Pakistan through video ministry on occasion. He participated in feeding the homeless in downtown Tulsa, went on one mission trip to Ontario, Canada, under Pastor Kenneth Kingsley of Kitchener Tamil Church and financially supported two orphans through Compassion International for over a decade. He was ordained as a minister twice. Once was under Calvary Messianic Congregation and then again under What Would Jesus Do Ministries by Junegrid Baker. Lastly, he enjoyed fellowship at Mission Church under Pastor Jerry Riley through monthly men's breakfast/bible studies and through services when able to attend there in Sand Springs, Oklahoma.

Sadly, Ryan struggled with addictions from a young age and battled these demons a lot of his life. He did not accept it as status quo but was continually learning ways to see them defeated. One very helpful place for this was in the successful completion of the Wings of Freedom program under the leadership of Pastor Dixie Pebworth at God's Shining Light Church in Tulsa. There he encountered the power of God and was able to live portions of his life in greater freedom. At GSL he served in the children' s ministry, youth ministry, and media ministry. He had the opportunity to become equipped to counsel others through Haven Ministries under Larry and Donna Fawcett. It's important to remember here that according to the scriptures, we live in a spiritual war zone where we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but against dark forces that are relentless. Life is also a classroom where we learn to apply the things we learn through increasingly greater challenges. At the end of every life there will always be more to learn and more to apply effectively. Although Ryan continued to struggle with the addictions, that doesn't negate all the utterly beautiful ways he served the Lord through his family, his church, and community. We trust his legacy will inspire many with hope of what can be accomplished as a disciple of Jesus, will motivate others to be life-longlearners and will point to the joy of the endless ways one can experience the love of God and express that creatively. Ryan truly demonstrated the fruits of love and goodness. He was a loyal brother in the Lord who gave freely and sacrificially. He was resourceful, knowledgeable and a great communicator. Ryan was loved by many and will be greatly missed. We are proud of him. We honor and celebrate him today and always.
