Our family loves the calming and positive leadership Ryan, Susan and their children had in our ward, always, but especially when he was in the Bishopric. I remember when Lindsay and Trevor were the basketball coaches for Sarah, Kaylee and my son, Steven. One of the parents became very rude and Ryan intervened in a very peaceful way. I am not sure what Ryan said to the parent, but when he joined us, he was a different person. The Knoxes have always admired Ryan, Susan, their children and all the Chapman family. All great examples of Christ like love. With lots of love, prayers and admiration, Steve, Connie, Amy and Steven Knox

Ryan said once this to me “Life is short. Stay present. Let go of hate and hostility. Love everyone, hard. And be kind to each other.” Eu amo isso, eu amo ele.
