Hannah Wood
Ryan was such a wonderful friend and boss. I worked directly for him during my pregnancy and he would bring me little foodie treats and things to help me through pregnancy. I could not have asked for a better boss at that special time and miss him so much now that I am pregnant again and miss his smiling face and constant support. He was the kind of person who made you smile immediately and the world is a little bit darker for not having him in it.
Deepest condolences to all his family, our last conversation was about how much he loved his daughters and he always spoke so highly of you all.
With Love, Hannah

Taken far too soon. He gave so much to so many. Cysgan dawel Ryan, sleep peacefully Ryan.

Paul Klug
I moved from the US to England a little over 3 years ago and worked alongside Ryan. Immediately, he took me around, introduced me to his friends and acquaintances and made me feel right at home.
He quickly became a close friend of mine. I will cherish the fun we had together and remember all the laughs. It was an honour to serve along-side him in the fire service.
Simon, Lynne and family
Amazing memories of 30 years of friendship. ‘Calon Lan’ will always be special. Nos da hen ffrind. Cysgwch yn dawel brawd. Sending lots of love and cwtch’s to Rachel, Alice and Emma. xxx

I met Ryan at the primary school our daughters shared. All the mums fancied him!
He was funny, cheeky, kind and helpful.
What a beautiful family he made, with the gorgeous Rachel. ❤️
He will leave a massive void for his family and his many, many friends.
A true gent.
Bye bye, until we meet again. Xx

Grace
Emma, Alice, Rachel aka the Jones’ aka my second family.
I have been contemplating what to write as there’s so much I could talk about. Ryan and Rachel were the cool parents who looked good and dressed well and let us come and have fun at their house when our own parents wouldn’t!
Although Ryan used to go to bed early due to his very early starts, we know he loved us being there because the fridge would always be stocked and I would wake up to clean shoes and my belongings neatly piled (not where I had clumsily left them).
I remember when I had been a vegetarian for many years at this point and he just couldn’t accept it and always tried to feed me meat, I think at one point I ate some smoked salmon just to appease him 😂
When Emma got drunk on the last day of school I had to call him to come and pick her up and he came in his new saab which was obviously immaculately clean. Although he was concerned for his youngest daughter he was just as concerned about Emma being sick in his new whip 😂.
One last thing I must mention is our constant rugby rival between England and wales - I don’t even like rugby that much I just loved winding him up. 🏴
The list of my stories are endless as I spent so much time with you all but the reoccurring theme in all of them is that there was so much love.
One final thing…. The downstairs toilet.
Ryan loved all you gorgeous girls so much and he will be forever missed by so many people.
All my love forever
Grace xx

When I first met Ryan, he was about 7 years old, and a pain in the butt. I watched him grow into a proper man, I was so proud to include him as a true friend. I always hoped he would be there at my 'leaving party', I never ever dreamed that I would be there at his. Unbelievably devastating. Deepest and fondest love to Rachel, Alice and Emma, your husband and father was truly one of the Good Guys. X
Spud & Denice

So very sad to hear such devastating news about Ryan …feeling such immense sadness for Rachel, Alice and Emma - it’s always been very clear to see that his girls are Ryan’s absolute world. Also sending love and strength to all the wider family and many many friends who’ll miss him so much. We remember Ryan with a great big smile: watching him play a prank or belting out Mustang Sally. He’d always make our girls giggle and we especially remember back to happier times when our family was complete, and all the girls were growing up together and our families spent fun times together.
Rest up now Ryan, you’ll always be remembered as the life and soul of every party including Lesley & my 40th party. With our love, from Julia, Pete and Sophie. Xxx
Ps Hope our Emily finds you up there and you don’t get into too much mischief !

We were so sorry to hear the sad news about Ryan.
We often had a chat with him and Freddy on our dog walks.
One fabulous memory we have of Ryan and his 3 lovely ladies was when we were on a family holiday in Turkey. David and his family were yachting with the Jones's in the same area. Messages of where to meet were pinging back and forth when suddenly a yacht appeared near our beach location.
We all swam out and had an amazing afternoon sailing.
At some point, Ryan challenged our daughter Grace to a swimming race but unfortunately for him he lost.
Love to Rachel, Alice and Emma xxx
