Ryan Hayes

Ryan Christopher Hayes embodied his name sake. Artistic, reflective, incredibly intelligent, and oh that blonde hair! His music and art skills were all self taught. He read Harry Potter in one sitting as a child, and as an adult, mastered multiple crafts on his own. His greatest achievement though can be summed up in his heart, and smile, and his selfless giving to others. Whether it was family, friends, or even total strangers, Ryan always put himself out there. Even if it meant putting himself second, third, or even last, Ryan never stopped being a servant leader. The question Ryan asked was if he made his brother, Anthony, proud. Not only did he, but he made the world a better place through his presence. Your voice, you were heard. Your love, you never spared. Your smile, you always gave. Your wisdom, you have shared. Our hearts, you have touched.
