Tributes:
“The fire service lost a good one.
I remember Reesor coming into the office and telling me to just come out on Monday night to practice and try it out. They welcomed me and never treated me any differently. He taught me a lot, and I wouldn’t be the firefighter I am today if it wasn’t for him.
Rest in peace, Ryan.”
“So incredibly sorry to hear of the passing of Ryan. Amy, my heart goes out to you, your children & all of Ryan’s family and friends. Sending all my love and prayers to each of you.”
