Ryan loved the Lord, his family and music. His young nephew and best buddy, Conner, (who he called ""Little Britches"") would lay on the floor listening to Ryan play his guitar and sing his favorite country and gospel songs (especially Johnny Cash). He liked watching old movies with his mom and sister and playing the guitar with his dad.
Everyone who met the man his mother called her ""Gentle Giant"" loved him and will miss him dearly.
Pallbearers will be Billy Hallo, Marcus Middlebrooks, Anthony Middlebrooks, Cody Gooch, Joaby Campbell and Jeffrey Chandler.
Honorary pallbearers are our loyal customers of The Tuscaloosa News in Samantha.
