    Dear Gordon,
    I am back working at the South Probation Office, and I also work part time for Connelly-McKinley. I just wanted to extend my sincere condolences to you and your family in the loss of your son.

    Gordon: So very sorry to hear of your loss. I remember your youngest sons as little guys running around my house in St. Albert, leaving little finger prints on the windows. I smiled each time I\’d find more. Ryan was one of those little guys.
    I hope you have wonderful memories to keep close to your heart.

    Hello,

    Sorry for your loss. I worked with Ryan at NAV CANADA in Winnipeg. Ryan and I had very long talks and I supported him as much as I could. Ryan was a very caring, smart and curious individual who just wanted to have a small break in life. He talked a lot about his family and his grandpa.

    I was very surprised on hearing of his passing. I can\’t stop thinking of him. He will always be in my heart. Today, I had the opportunity to attend his funeral in Edmonton – but I wanted to remember Ryan just the way the left here. Excited to have a new life and be with his family.

    My heart goes out to you all. Take care.

    I meet Ryan at Nick and Heathers wedding. Ryan was seated beside me and the minute he sat down and introduced himself to us I felt like I had always new him. After the wedding we continued to run into eachother at events. I rememeber at one bonfire Ryan came up and rescued me from a guy everyone had odd feelings about. He literally picked me through me over his shoulder and walked me to other otherside of the party…however on the way to safety he fell and dropped me. Of course we laughed and Ryan was so concerened if I was ok. A few days later Ryan called me to see if I was ok again and apologiesed again about dropping me. Again we laughed about it and confirmed our friendship…months went by and I heard nothing from Ryan until he called me to tell me he had checked into to the mental health ward and wanted to let me know that he was doing find and wanted to make sure he could still find a friend in me. Again we laughed and talked and picked the friendship up again. It was so great to have been given that chance to get to know him and that he found a friend in me. Ryan has the kindest soul and the brightest smile even through the clouds…I just wish that I could have picked him up and thrown him over my shoulder and taken him to safety…I am very sorry for the Rymak Families loss.

    Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you at this difficult time. Nothing can be said to ease your pain but please know that my wife are thinking of you all at this time. I did not get to know Ryan because we worked in different areas of the Nav Canada building but the few times I did speak with him in passing the conversation was short but always pleasant.
