My condolences to Brian, Louise, Erin and Jeanette. You all took good care of Ryan and he in return gave back so much. He was very smart; I remember him acting as the Wizard of Oz at the La Salle School. And thanks to the Rainbow Society he was able to fulfill his childhood dream of going to Disneyland! His love for others is a reflection of Brian and Louise's kindness. We will all miss him. Gisele Berard, St. Adolphe - Posted by: Ryan Elke (Friend of Louise) on: Apr 07, 2013

Ryan was the sweetest, kindest person I know. He rarely complained about his pain or discomfort. He was so amazing with his life view, due to his amazing relationship with his mother and his father. He loved his family and spoke often of them. He was a good man, and will be soooo very missed. My condolences to you, my thoughts and prayers are with your family. Take care, love and comfort each other forever. - Posted by: Cecelia Delaquis (HCA) on: Apr 06, 2013

I didn't get the chance to know Ryan very well, because I was very young when we moved away from Manitoba... but on May 4th I am participating in a Walk for Muscular Dystrophy, in Vernon B.C. I will now be walking in memory of not only my older brother Rhéal, family friend Randy, but also for Ryan. I will have the family in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace. xoxoxox - Posted by: Anne-Marie Chaput (Family friend, we knew him through Rhéal Chaput) on: Apr 06, 2013
