You are who you surround yourself with…
I feel and know I am who I am due to the fact that I’m surrounded by amazing people, my friends, family and all of the people I interact with, so first of all THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I write this blog with a heavy heart and honestly tears running down my face because the world lost an amazing person that i consider a VERY good friend of mine. You might know him as the public knows him as a “JACKASS” but I know him as a great friend, partner to his lady Angie, brother and so much more…
He is seriously one of the funniest guys I know!
An avid car enthusiast, evidence by his BMW roundel tattoo, piston tattoos on his hands and his passion for cars…
He just recently acquired a Porsche GT3 that he loved and was stoked on driving it, that same car he crashed to his ultimate passing when he crashed in Pennsylvania. He and his friend died on the scene…
All I can think of is his laugh, his knack for amazing jokes and one liners hes always “trying out” and of course the loss that his put on so many of us…
I love you Ryan and miss you but we’ll always have the good times!
Here’s a couple pics of Ryan, my wife and his lady Angie over the years.
This was just a year ago, Hall & Oates concert in Maryland..
One of the best times EVER with so many of my great friends!
This was the group that was there that awesome night!
Couple years ago, got to tour Victory Brewing in West Chester, PA with Dunn…
Happy place & good times! Beer, bro and more…
This was back in 2006, Ryan and his lady Angie came out to see us in AZ, we hit Sedona and took a helicopter ride that was AWESOME & HONESTLY one of the coolest and most awe inspiring things ive ever done, my wife was pregnant, with good friends and just beautiful scenery…
So I say that with the tone that I’m so thankful for all of you that have surrounded me over the years, currently and in the future…
Please find humility, grace and strength, life is NOT all about YOU! It’s about everyone else and how it effects you…
I love all of my family & friends, thank you for being part of my life and helping me become, learn and understand who I am…
