Ryan Slater - Online Memorial Website

I watched the game last night. Your 49ers won, as I'm sure you are well aware. I have this set playlist consisting of only 5 songs and it's a playlist of our songs, or songs that remind me of you. I listen to it all day everyday. So much I could probably start my own band and sing them. Although we know my singing voice doesn't resemble angles or anything angelic. Truth is, I don't really have anything specific I want to say. I just miss you terribly. I miss you so much it hurts. Days go by, and I can't figure out how.. Anyways, I just wanted to say I miss you and I love you very much.

forever and a day<3

Not a day passes you aren't on my mind Ryan. You are such an amazing person who had such an amazing heart. I am so thankful for every moment that i got to spend seeing you laugh and smile and make everyone else laugh and smile. To this day it is still hard for me to wrap my head around what happened. You were doing so many incredible things for yourself and becoming such an outstanding man. I am still taking care of your best friend, like you always told me to do. I dont think theres a day...or even a few hours we dont start talking about you or greg wants to pick up the phone to text you and go stop by and talk for hours about everything. You are missed and loved by so many people. Its incredible the amount of lives you touched. Please keep a close eye on everyone who loved you...esp your mom and sisters...help ease some pain on their heavy hearts and always stay close by them. I know you are at peace now and will live everyday through us...so we will try and make it the best, for you. Love you Ry...and keep shining that bright smile on us.<3

I just don't get t Ryan. I don't understand. I'm so angry with you right now. I love u so much. You were my baby brother.....I took care of you....helped you the best I could...but I guess it wasn't enough.....I guess I wasn't there when you needed me the most. You are now at peace, at lest I hope, but I am I am in pain. A pain I cannot let go of. It follows me every hour of everyday. I don't know how to move on. I feel guilty for every smile, every moment of happiness. I feel guilty for not being able to be with our loyal and loving mother everyday. I feel guilty going to work everyday like nothing happened.

Ry,

I still text you, I still facebook message you, I still write on your wall...all I want, is for a response. Like your mom said below, she misses you in every morning, all day and every night...and so do I man. I wish things could be different. I wish we could have one more conversation at least...goof off, get the dogs together, anything....I'll never forget any of the times we've had. You we're an amazing friend, and you'll forever have a place in my heart. Keep an eye on us down here. I love you like a brother man. Rest easy. <3

P.S. I'll take care of Knea for you. I know she was your best friend. I'll love her, like I know you would have...

Slater, I know some people may have thought you had bad intentions at times but deep down I know you have a heart as big as the moon. The day I passed you by the Chasm in a wheelie and the following day you made damn sure you sent me a video of you doing one just that little bit longer, that will stay with me forever. It was never a contest but you made sure to go that extra distance. Ryan until we meet again to do some wheelies side by side on the clouds of heaven, Be good my man...stay smiling R.I.P Slater your friend JaDon

I've been at my computer looking at this screen, trying to figure out what to write for I don't know how long. The only key that seems to get any use is the backspace. My dearest Ryan, I could go on writing forever about the memories I cherish so deeply you and I have shared over the past years as well as the present, and the impact you've had on my life. But, I would be telling you things you already know. Truth be told there isn't much I could tell you that you don't already know. The words that are being written on this page will never do justice compared to the endless thoughts and feelings that run through me everyday. You've already done so much for me, a debt I fear I will never be able to repay. But even with that said, I need just a few more favors. Help your friends and family during this trying time. Watch over your sisters, they will always need their brother. Lastly your mom, help her in anyway possible. Give her heavy heart some rest, and help her keep her faith. I only ask this of you, like I've asked things of you before because I know you will. As for me, I'm not going anywhere. I have been in love with you for most of my life. I gave you my heart years ago, and it will forever remain in your hands. I promise to never let go. I love you, forever and a day.

Until we meet again my love

I've known Ryan since he was 10yrs old..he loved to ride dirtbikes..make us laugh..and..well..get into trouble.. you always knew he was up to no good by the shit eating grin on his face...we miss him and know he is still smiling Close

my good buddy is to my right, your left, what an incredible individual, u will be sorely missed. U always knew how to light up a room. Even where we met. I always kept a smile when u entered a room. everyone reading this CAN NOT argue, how your infectious personality put people at ease. You were the the biggest little guy I knew. Thats because u had the biggest heart there is. Until we speak again, Reast peacefully little buddy, and god bless the Slater family.....

I remember the time when Rab, Seth, Zeb and I put a car in the ditch. You and Kyle came up to pull us out in a blizzard. After over an hour and a half of trying we finally got it out while Rab got launched across the road. I don't think I've seen you laugh that hard. You are missed Slater. RIP.

I remember when I got in a car accident on the way to a homecoming football game a week after I got my license, the news got to the school and you, Crane and Good all jumped in your truck and made it to me in five minutes, when the cops wouldn't let any of you see me you all got in trouble for telling the cops to fuck off... just one of the crazy times we all had.
