After fighting the good fight for six months against his cancer, our cherished son, Ryan, passed at his home where he wanted to be, peacefully with his Mom and his Dad both holding one of his hands caressing his head. He recently had his 26th birthday. He will be sorely missed by his parents Karen and Tally, and his special sister Melissa Erin (Missy). Desperately missed by his grandparents Barbara and Ernie Kowch while predeceased by Stephanie and Tally Tatti. Mourned by all of his close and loving aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends. A special thanks to all who took such great care of him and gave him great comfort. Aunty Pam, Nurse Helen, Nurse Victor to name only a few of the many, many special people. Gone but not forgotten, he will always, always be in our hearts and minds. A visitation will take place at Bay Gardens Funeral Home “William J.
