I'm so deeply sorry to the Holdway family for your loss. We had lost touch in recent years but Ryan and I were very close for a time during Jr. High and Highschool. He was truly one of the most genuine people I've ever known. A very fun, energetic, loyal guy who always livened up whatever room he was in. There's so many great memories of Ryan I'll always have. Rest in peace, Ryan.

I was not able to know Ryan for very long, but within the time I knew him I immediately understood why he so beloved by his close friends and family. I met Ryan in 2018 when I moved to Chicago and knew we’d be friends immediately. We had similar interests - basketball, video games and being fathers - and we immediately hit it off. His smile and joy for life was infectious. I’ll miss his genuine curiosity, zest for life, and humor the most. I only wish we could have gotten closer over time. I’ll miss you, Ryan.

Holdway - I am devastated to hear you have passed on to a better place. We were just exchanging barbs 2 weeks ago. Your spirit, charisma, crazy Midwest accent, love for the Bulls, drive for success, and overall friendship that started when we met at Rocket Fuel...and never ended. You will be missed and rest in peace. My thoughts go out to your beautiful and amazing wife as well as your son. You were most assuredly a real and authentic one.

You were one of a kind, Ryan, and you’ll be so missed. Hard time believing we won’t be able to see you again but I know you’ll be up there making everyone laugh like only you could!

Ryan, Even though we drifted apart after high school. I still have nothing but fond memories of our time riding our bikes to 7/11, going to your house every 4th of July for post Rib fest fireworks. Even the few times we randomly ran into each other in the city. It was just like we were teenagers again. It was never a dull or bad time when you were around. You will be deeply missed by so many people. You were such a great person and even without seeing you often over the past decade and a half the amount of pain and sadness I feel is just a testament to how great of a person you were. Till I see you again. Deepest regrets and sorrow, Danny Good

Angie and Family, We wish we had the words to lighten the pain and agony you are feeling but sometimes words, however gentle cannot take your loss away.
