Dear Jen, Logan, Abby and Family: Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Ryan. Hold tight to your wonderful memories as they will help you all through this very difficult time...
I first met Ryan when he was only 18 years old, working at the Hamilton Road Beer Store. Over the years, our relationship became more then just co-workers. He was like a little brother to me but even more important, someone who I considered a good friend. He was always there to help me with any event I planned for the Beer Store,always the first to volunteer his time. I know, from our many talks, he absolutely loved and adored his children and thought the world of his parents and sister.He had a very special relationship with his dad. I have no words,only to say,this is a tragic loss. Ryan was a great person. To the Shannon Family, you are in our thoughts. Mike and Pam
Doug and Elaine Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.
The heaven door's opened for Ryan because he was an amazing person. He brought a smile to my face everytime I was around him. If he was here now, he would be wiping the tears of all those mourning him, because, he would rather see us smile. I will always remember the good times, especially the ones that made me laugh. I will live FOR Ryan not in the memory of him. Ryan left his mark with his beautiful children, and touched the hearts of many. Ryan you are my gaurdian angel. Rest in peace my friend. XO
Doug, Elaine, Kerri, Papa, Aunt Joanne, Uncle Dave and family: It has been the most difficult time in our lives over the past few days...being with you all to remember the amazing times we shared, the funny stories, and talking about what an amazing man Ryan was has helped Logan, Abbie and I so much. He gave me the 2 most precious gifts in my life...with your help, I will raise our children to be the strong, confident, caring, compassionate, giving individuals that he would have wanted them to be. I am so glad that we were in a good place in our relationship and that I was with him when he passed...I am so so sorry for your loss...for our loss...xoxo Jen

I would like to convey my deepest sympathy to the Shannon family during this time of loss. From the moment I met Ryan, 7 years ago, he was polite, patient and always had an open ear. Ryan was strong and proud and engendered a strong sense of trust and diginity. For these intangible qualities to come from one so young, he will always serve as inspiration to me. Ryan very much lives on in my heart and in my memory and for that, I am deeply greatful. To a kindred rock and roll spirit, I bid you farewell Ryan. Peace and love.
Doug and Elaine, we were very sorry to hear of Ryan's passing. I remember Ryan as one of my nicest students in my Grade 10 Math class. When you teach several students, you can't remember them all, but I certainly remembered Ryan, in a very positive way. At first, I wondered if his name was Ryan or Shannon, but I soon got that cleared up. You have our deepest sympathy.
I only knew Ryan for a very short time. What I knew right away,was how caring and loving and a genuine beautiful man he was. We shared so much! in so little time we had. I know the smiles and laughs we shared were truly golden ones, that I will rememeber Forever. Why an Angel walked in and out of my life so quick, I will always wonder but I'm glad he did and I will keep what he gave me and how my heart was touched, inside my soul will be cherished in me forever. rest in peace Ryan you beautiful Sunshine.(: Love Julie (Jules) xo To all Ryans wonderful Family and Friends I am so very sorry my heart goes out to you all. I know how truly special Ryan was to each of you. I heard so much about all of you in the little time we shared, but I knew he loved you all very much. Please take care of little Logan, Abbie and Penny, I know how truly dear to Ryan they are. He is the most Amazing and Incredible man I have ever met! Hugs Forever Julie
Kerri (and family), I am so very sorry for this loss that you have to endure. I wish there was something easy to say to make it all better, but there isn't. I can only offer my shoulder to cry on, my ear to listen and my heart to lend you for strength and love. My deepest sympathies....Rest well, Ryan.
Doug and Elaine There are no words to express the sadness we feel at the untimely passing of your son Ryan. We did not know him but know the impact he had on your lives. The love and pride you felt at having such a wonderful man as your son was obvious. May peace be with you, Jennifer, Logan and Abigail and the rest of your family and friends as you adjust and learn to live your lives without him.

I just heard about Ryan - sad does not adequately describe leaving this world so early in life. Though I have not seen him in years, I went to high school with him and he was always so friendly to me, he was one of the few friends of my brother who would go out of his way to be kind, despite my then-shyness. I hope and am sure his children have inherited his kindness and friendliness. His family is in my thoughts
Doug, Elaine and family. We are so sorry for your loss of Ryan, may the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
Dear Doug, Elaine & family: After reading all the condolences one knows for sure how much Ryan was loved and respected , he meant so much to so many people and will be truly missed. You have my deepest sympathies .
