Ryan AuldClearwater, Fl Parents: Siblings: Click here to view photo gallery |
Ryan was my youngest son. He had the biggest heart and a smile that could melt the coldest of hearts. My son Christopher, at Ryan's funeral service while reading his euology, referred to his as "The Shepherd",people in need gravitated toward Ryan and he always had open arms for them. He was the guy to go to if you needed a couch to sleep on, a ride somewhere, an ear to listen to you, or a shoulder to cry on. He was a son, a brother, a father and a friend. He had many nicknames and they all meant something special to whoever was callling him: Willow, Irisher, Toast, or just Ry. He leaves behind two sons, Corey and Coty, and a daughter Morgan. It is a sad day for all of his family and a great loss. A parent should never have to bury a child, it is the greatest pain one can bear. Ryan, I shall miss you my son, you were my heart. I just hope you can be at peace now and that God will hold you in the palm of his hand. Love, Mom

Hi Ryan, Just thinking of you today and missing you as always. You are always in my heart, and I get small reminders from you, that you are still around and keeping an eye on all of us. Especially when I hear Viva La Vida by Coldplay, that song will forever be my favorite to hear and listen to. Give Nana a big hug from me and tell her I miss her. Miss you Irisher. Love, Mom |

Ryan, You are truly missed by everyone. Everday I see the sorry in your mothers eyes. She misses you so much. I look at your video often and see your smile and how you lit up the room. Hopefully by now you have seen Nana and you two are partying with the rest of the family. Give her a big kiss for me and Mom give him a big kiss for me. Love you Ryan and always will. Mary Kay |

Hey Ry, it's just a few days after, your 2nd Anniversay of your being called home to heaven, a day that has forever changed my world. I miss you every day, you are always in my heart, even though it is broken. I pray that there are people around you to comfort you. I miss your smile and your hugs, and I miss those beautiful green eyes that had such a great twinkle in them, that could melt one's heart. Love, Mom 8/2/2011 |

Went to church on your 2nd anniversary and lit a candle for you, as I do today. I don't know why it is so hard now, this loss is so much to bear. I am so comforted by the messages your friends leave on this page and Facebook, they've never forgotten you Ry. They inspire me w/their strength and courage to keep your spirit with them. Your brothers miss you more than you know, heavy hearts they carry with them. Anyway, be at rest, and know I love & miss you. Mom 8/2/2011 |

Happy Belated Birthday, Ryan. I am sorry that this is a day late. But I want you to know that I will always love you, and you will forever be in my heart as one of my nearest and dearest friends. I know how much you wanted to make it to Montana. I really wish you would have. I wish that we could have gone together as friends, and it hurts that we are now not able to make that trip. But I promise you that I will join NOPE, and help as many people as I can to make it to Montana, or wherever it is they want to go in life. You always were taking your shirt off of your back to help others. I want to keep your memory alive, and make your spirit proud. I love you, Ryan. I look forward to the day when I can give you a hug and I once again can hear you call me, "Kare." |

Ryan, I just found out. I don't know what to say. I can't believe that I'm even typing this, because "good-bye" is one phrase that I never ever wanted to tell you. I am so sorry that we lost touch last summer. I know you were trying so hard to make a new start. You became a good friend after we really began to hang out. And you became my best guy friend after everything happened with "Idiot." I was so sad, because he lied, cheated and treated me like a piece of trash. I called so many nights with the same saddness in my heart, and sometimes I was afraid that you would get sick of taking my calls, or sick of trying to cheer me up about the same thing. But you never did. You just said, "Kare, why don't you come over and sleep on the couch?!" Then I would come over and we would talk for hours about everything from relationships to Montana. It was just like your mom said. You were the guy that a friend could really count on. And there aren't too many people like that in this world. You always had a place in your heart, and a spot on your couch. Your smile and laughter gave me hope. And your words of encouragement pulled me through one of the toughest times of my life. I remember you telling me that you wanted me to be strong and to forget about him, because I deserved better. You told me that you couldn't wait for the day that I told you, "The hell with him, that I no longer cared, and that I had found someone who really treated me well." So, here it is. "Ryan, I found someone a lot better. He is so good to me, sometimes I think too good. He treats me with kindness and respect, and doesn't make up fake stories about "Polish Bob." (It makes me laugh just a little to think about us laughing about "Polish Bob." I can just see you shaking your head and laughing with me like we did so many nights.) Anyway, you would really like my new boyfriend, and I only wish that I could tell you all of this to your face. But since I can't. I'll just say that I will never forget you. You were one of the truest and best friends I have ever had, and I will always love you. And I will miss you more than you could ever know.
Your Friend Always,
-Kare

Below are some lyrics that I believe describe the type of person Ryan was perfectly. He was both my hero and my friend. "I love you Ryan. Thank-you for always being that friend I could count on. Thank-you for always having an ear, a shoulder to cry on, a place on your couch and a place in your heart."
Hero's and Friends
I've found only two things that last to the end
Years have gone by but now and again
One is your heroes the other your friends
My heart rides the range with my heroes and friends
