Ryan was born in Azle and lived here his entire life. He attended both private and public schools in Fort Worth and Azle.

Ryan was a 2002-2003 member of the Who's Who Among American High School Students. His life long dream was to enter the medical profession. Though Ryan suffered through many problems his last few years, we rejoice in the fact that at age 13, he gave his life to Jesus Christ and was baptized at Calvary Chapel in Fort Worth.
