epoh Posted August 1, 2007 Share This is really sad news, it just reminds me how short life is and we just never know when our time will come. His untimely death is a wake up to me to be steadfast in my faith in God and be ready any given moment for when that time comes. God bless the Ryan family in this difficult time.

Sean Badenhorst Posted August 1, 2007 Share What a tragic loss! Thanks Ryan for all you gave to those that knew you ? and apparently even those that didn't know you. You will be so missed.

Marco Posted August 1, 2007 Share Dont know if its on any of the previous listings or thread. the memorial ride is planned for Tuesday at 2pm, leaving from Finishline Cycles and the Funeral is at the Maranatha Church, Kemptonpark.. Just wanted to add a couple of other comments to those who didnt know Ryan. He was always willing to help, never had a big head and was always the one pro who had time for even little people, people that just started cycling, etc. He always had time for others; just as an example, while training VERY hard for Tour de Langkawi he was asked to take a new junior cyclist for a ride, " no problem, tell him to meet me at Finishline in an hour" was the immediate response. No hesitation!! If there ever was one SA rider i looked up to from the day i started cycling, it was Ryan. He never, ever had a big head. He always gave back!!!If you know his mom, Karen, you can see where he gets his attitude towards life from. they ARE both excellent people who are always willing to help. My only regret with regards to Ryan is that i never got a chance to really thank him for ALL the help he gave me in the past. RYAN, YOU WILL BE MISSED MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE!!OUR HEARTS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! I DONT THINK YOU EVER KNEW HOW MANY PEOPLE REALLY LOOKED UP TO YOU!! CHEERS TO YOU!!!

SwissVan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Terrible news, my thoughts are with his family and loved ones.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I never knew Ryan personally but for some reason it hurts like he was a close friend ? This ?closeness? is probably due to the great postings and feelings he conveyed through his website which I have been following for years. Hamba Gashle Ryan...
