5 Nov 2020I first met Ryan when he was in elementary school with my son Jessie. They were close friends spending the night together often and hanging out all the time. He loved the Friday night tacos I made. That might have been part of the reason he always honored me by calling me “Mom”. Over the years we remained in touch with each other. When he informed us of his cancer he was so very brave. Taking the chemo treatments for everyone that loved him and giving us hope that he would be a survivor. Ryan fought the cancer hard with all his strength and the strength he received from his family and friends. Ryan was loved by so many people. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace “Slick” -Patricia Taylor

5 Nov 2020Tubbs, man…..I still can’t believe this. I didn’t know about visitations and missed it. If I knew, I would have been there to say goodbye and pay my respect! You were one of my dearest/closest friends who ALWAYS had my back. I have so many memories of you that just make me smile and laugh out loud when something reminds me of you or something you would have said. Hell…..you even saved my life when I had pneumonia. You literally picked me up and carried me to your car and in the hospital. That right there showed me how BIG of a heart you had/and still have. RIP Tubbs , I love ya man. You will be missed by so many people. ~ Billy Thilmont
