Ryan loved his cat Buggy, and she will miss him dearly. He also enjoyed gardening, reading books, playing video games and getting tattoos. He was also an avid Star Wars collector. His favorite sports team was the Green Bay Packers. He loved cooking and was extremely good at it. His favorite dessert was peanut butter pie. He loved the Fourth of July and planning the firework show at his parents’ house with his father and two brothers.
