I only meant Matt twice but I have heard many stories about him from his stepson Garrett. Garrett always said that Matt was a good man and treated him well. Matt was somone who Garrett respected because he "never laid a hand on him." Matt radiated light for those around him. He even helped me study for an algerbra test. We will miss him and I wish that he arrived in Garretts life sooner.

"We Didn't Get To Say Goodbye": "We didn't get to say goodbye We're devastated that you're gone We did everything to try keeping you here with us Right here where you belong We didn't know that life would take Such an unexpected path That you'd20be separated from us so soon Heartbreaking reality we struggle to grasp And bitter though our losing you has been And so profound is the pain that we bear We're sadder still at no chance for goodbye No final expression of our deep love and care Yet believing that you're not too far away That you’re Spirit still lingers quite near We'll say our goodbyes in our words and our thoughts Trusting that each one you'll hear First, know that you were loved in the truest of ways So deep that only our hearts can give expression You'll be forever surrounded by our love For we're sending it straight up to Heaven Please know that you'll be cherished by each one of us For your example and kindness we'll treasure We understand now how your life was a gift That was meant to bless us forever And though we'll miss you terribly We want your Spirit to be free Free to enjoy all the wonders of Heaven Not bound to us in our grief So watch over us with happiness from Heaven ..." AUNT JOAN WE LOVE YOU!

Matthew & I played both football and baseball together at Babylon. He was one of the best athletes I had to play with. As teamates we shared the 'PLAQUE' as the best baseball players of 1974.The coach that year, Marty Albert said it was because we always helped the younger players get better. To me, that sounds alot like Matty Ryan. God Bless

You are a sweet man who left us way too soon. I knew you since we were kids, recall some high school antics. You helped Kate and me move to Boston, and I remember your and your family's kindness when my mom died. RIP, Matt, and my sincere condolences to your entire family. Love, Ruth

I've been crying for several days now. I regret not getting to talk to Matt one more time. He was the kindest, gentlest soul I ever knew. Some of the fondest memories of my life are of the times I spent with Matt. My thoughts are with Nona, the children and the entire Ryan family Bob Morgan

To the Ryan Family: I was terribly saddened to hear of Matt's passing. I haven't spoken with him for many many years. Matt and I were attached at the hip through baseball from age 10 through 18. For our age group, the two of us shared the pitchers mound almost exclusively - just the two of us from Little League through High School. In fact, during our junior year, the two of us threw 8 out of nine compete game shutouts in a row. Though I probably wouldn't have admitted it at the time, Matt was the better pitcher. He had a very nasty fastball that he could throw consistently at the knees. If you don't believe me, ask his brother John...who I would sit on the bench with when Matt was on the mound. Matt was good hitter too! I knew Matt as a great teammate and friend - he always had a way of keeping everyone around him loose with his dry sense of humor and cool. We played on so many teams together, I couldn't possibly list them. It does not surprise me at all to hear of his successful teaching career - that was Matt! My best wishes and prayers to all the family - Matt is a guy I will never forget. Sincerely, Bill Glover Babylon High School Class of 1974

He and I shared many fun times together as we grew up in Babylon. I extend my sympathies to all of you in this time of sorrow.
