Author: Thank you for visiting Ryan’s memorial web page.
It was evident from his memorial service that Ryan has touched so many people in so many different ways. Billy Jo and Fab were over whelmed by the quantity of family and friends who attended.
We have set up this page so you can share your stories and memories of Ryan and how he impacted on your life. Please add your story below. You can also share this site on your social networking page like Facebook or MySpace by clicking on the “Share” button.

My gorgeous boy. I am so proud and happy to have had your love for the short time you were here. My sadness at your loss will be tempered by the joy we shared.
with all my love always, Mummy (lol) xxx
For a grandma to lose her eldest grandchild is sad: for a mother to lose her only child is tragic. Ryan was a young man of great potential. It was touching to see the number of mourners who came to the funeral and to hear them express their affection and admiration for him. We were lucky to have hm around, even if only for a such a short time.
Ryan, Copley
I Heard a Child’s Voice Today
He asked “when will you stop crying?” I replied “Now that the tears have started to fall I’m afraid that they will never stop until I am left with only an empty heart!” I felt his smile, as warm as the sun, and heard his tiny voice say “Don’t worry! The tears will stop. The pain will fade. And you will have your precious memories to help make you happy again”.
I pray that time will pass and look for the future when we will be able to laugh freely again. Until then we’ll search for the things that can help make us smile.
Thank you Ryan
Ryan, I miss you so much. its unfair to have lost you so soon.there was still so many things we were supposed to do together. i love you and shall always remember the good times we had. From you trying to fly off your granny flat roof to your horror of being called a “sweet little mustard seed” by tegan lol. but most of all i will remember having a drink with you on my 18th, and playing a couple of tunes on your guitar for Andy to bop to. bye ryan you were the best big brother ever.

To a Dear Friend,
A long time has passed since I seen you last though all the memories are still fresh in my mind. The world has lost someone who was so very special to so many people. We can be thankful that you touched all of our lives and that we had the priviledge of knowing beautiful you. I have so many fun memories of me and you as kids. All those fights on the walk home from school but we’d be friends again by the time we got home…I wish I could remember the word I used to say that really got on your nerves…christ I was a bitch cos I knew that word pushed your buttons immediately! What about when we got engaged and married? That was so much fun and you look back now and are so thankful that we do silly things like that in our lives. You made me believe you were the kid outta “The Nanny” and I believed you for so long. May your new life be free and full of all things bright, hoping that one day we may all meet again. Always in my heart and foreva in my memories, from your long lost “sister’, Erin xoxoxoxoxo P.S. I will remember that word and when I do I will come here and post it!! Much love xoxoxox
Thank you Ryan.
Thank you so much for giving me the courage and the strength I needed. You will always be a wonderful person and we will all love you forever. You left me with an incredible gift, and you know it mate. Because of you, I’ve realised how short life is, how yesterday doesn’t matter and how tomorrow may never come.
I feel like you are watching me up there in heaven you bastard, I feel like your smugness and sniggering stare whenever I do something silly. Life’s too short to waste, the afterlife is forever. You’ll be waiting for me by the jello pool on the lesbian cloud right brother?
Love you forever man, you will never be forgotten in this life. You touched so many in such a special way, god simply decided it your time. You earned the right to be accepted in through the pearly gates so soon. We have to wait until our time now, and in a way, I’m jealous you son of a b!tch.
I know you’ll always be watching over me man, like a guardian angel, and you given me power I never thought I had. At least, to make it through this life mate.
See you soon
Dear Friend
Days without you are none
Your spirit fills the air
At nights I stay awake to listen to your voice
Faintly I hear you say that you are right above
Dreams seem all too real
I feel your hands and your breath
Laughter and fun we have had for so long
Then I am awoken by an alarm
Letters written back and forth
Memories made to stay a lifetime
Your lifetime made all too brief
But I made sure your life goes on
I miss you
See you soon
Love Me

Where do i start…i didnt no Ryan as long as most….but i sure would have liked to.. I remember the first nite we met…he hung out a car door sayin Jo Jo..Bitch wats happenin
Then smoothy introduce himself as The Mystro…the best undiscovered talent yet to hit Rocky…:)Ryan and i got to know each other through Judd ( his partner in crime) and takin pics of their many Jam nights.He was so proud when i gave him his own collection of photos framed…. 
He hung it so proudly on the wall where he could see it even layin in bed..:)And was so shattered when it fell of the wall and broke…:( He begged and pleaded for me to fix it……and when all else failed, he turned and said ” you know you’ll fix it” and gave me a wink….:)and guess wat i fixed it….:)It now hangs on his mums wall…
Ryan i was so bless to be able to know u and call u a m8…………thanks for all the laughs and good times……miss ya m8 xxxxxxxxou
There are so many people who loved you babe… it makes me cry, and it makes me proud… You were truly a shooting star – every one of us that was lucky to be looking up, saw you and made a wish. I miss you more than one heart can take, so it helps to know that there are so many others sharing my pain. You were always my angel, and now you truly are.. I love you, and I’m so very glad that you always knew that…
xxx MUMMY (!!!)
I didn’t know Ryan personally, but heard about him several times from my friend, Satima, his grandmother, and I also met Billie Jo a couple of times. I want to offer my deepest sympathy for this tragic loss, as a mother myself I can’t begin to imagine how painful it must be to lose a precious child. His memory will live on through his music and the love that he has shared with so many…

ryan, you were like the brother i never had! you were always there for me, looked after me when i was growing up. we had so many memories that will always be in my heart! i feel so lucky to have had you as my cousin. i still can’t beleive that your actually gone, i think about it everyday. you meant so much to everyone & always had a smile on your face (: i love and miss you so much, xo.
Well, dam ..Figjam …well thats what I knew him as …a cheeky little aussie bloke wondered into our music room one night …and boy oh boy , did he brighten my world …such fond memories I have…At first I thought hes a little shite and resisted to kick his cheeky butt and then as we started to joke around and he showed his true colours to me , Over the next few weeks I honestly fell in love with this bloke ..like a kid brother kind of luv ..he made me laugh so hard I near wet my pants ..hell I think I did …I know it may sound funny or even a little weird to people who might read this , but I think of him whenever I make gravy and its got lumps in it..only he would understand that ..maybe his brother…cause i think it was him who made the lumpy gravy….I missed him heaps when he stopped coming to visit us in Acoustic Jam and I was so sorry to hear of his leaving this world us so bloody soon ..I wish he was still here and I’m so sorry for the loss those of you who truly knew him and loved him must feel..some people in this world just shine and they are few ..and he was certainly one of them …..Hope your still givin em heaps wherever ya are mate !!!!

That’s great news, Guido. I’m really looking forward to hearing all of Ryan’s songs.
5 months since you left us … seems like a moment, feels like a lifetime. Everything reminds me of you.. the joy that you taught me, and emptiness, the incredible sadness at the loss of you…
another milestone – 6 months we’ve had to manage without the light and sparkle of your love and laughter… memories of you are everywhere, I ache to see you, hear you, hold you.. they tell me it gets easier – it isn’t yet.
My gorgeous boy, my friend, my chief elf …
I knew christmas without you would be hard, but I wasn’t ready for the ache, the loneliness, the absolute absence of joy.
I miss you so much my little man.. I keep seeing you with tinsel plaits waiting on the porch cos I was late… now I just have to get through new years eve… we had such a blast last year – in your fluorescent lycra LOUD shirt!!
You are forever my shining star xxx
This really is what I have been finding all the time. I should have discovered your posting sooner.
Even over the beating of my heart. I can still hear you.
I can’t do anything but cry.
<3

He would have been proud of us .. we partied all weekend for his birthday.
This weekend will not be so much fun … I miss him as much as ever, and I know that others out there do too .. thankyou all for your love and support.
My godson, my friend. 1 year…I did not know what to write, I did not want to write. Today it has all caught up with me and I realise more than ever how much you mean to me. You challenged me and made my life better over those 14 years. Best of all you laughed at my stupid jokes. (I still havent found a replacement for that although your mum does pretty well – thanks Bill). I am missing you every day of my life but I carry your spirit inside me always and it has served me well. Its a beautiful day on the Gold Coast today so I will get amongst it, and do my best to celebrate this anniversary. Till we meet again. Love to you and yours. Tim.
