In 2017, Ryan graduated from Mission High School, marking an important milestone in his educational journey. He had a curious mind and dabbled in various hobbies. In his imagination, Ryan was a police officer, an EMT, and even prepared to be an OBGYN to deliver the twins at home. He enjoyed building and dismantling things, and his creativity shone through his self-made parades that he would joyfully march through the streets. Ryan's zest for life serves as an inspiration for us all.
