On the 25th May 2006, Ryan was fatally injured in a terrible road collison in Doncaster, involving a skip lorry. The driver failed to observe the road properly and didn't indicate which lead to the untimely and unnessary death of my beautiful husband. Ryan was on duty at the time, he had been seconded to Doncaster to work on an undercover drugs operation. Due to Ryan's hard work and bravery, a total of 22 people have been charged with class A drug -related offences.
Ryan had been a serving police officer since June 2001 and was based at Bridge street west police station in Birmingham. Ryan was a popular police officer and had many friends within the police force, prior to this he had served in the Royal navy for 5 years. Ryan achieved so much in his short life, he was so brave and courageous, as well as being the kindest, caring most gentle man i have ever met. He made myself, his family and his friends so proud everyday.
Rye loved sport, he played rugby, football and often coached a children's team in Birmingham which he loved. He also took up judo at an early age and had a natural talent for it, as a child he won many competitions and at 15 became The British judo champion for his weight category. In 2001 Ryan entered the police judo team and again excelled himself winning many competitions. Ryan was always a good sport, always unassuming, unaware of his talents, modest in victory and gracious in defeat. His layed back attitude to life was inspirational. He had so many friends, so many people loved him. He made a difference to so many peoples lives, nobody has ever had a bad word to say about him. Ryan's death has left such a huge void for myself, his family and his friends. Ryan is desperately missed by all who knew him and will never be forgotten, he will remain in our hearts forever.
Me and Ryan had been together for almost 9 years, we got married on the14th August 2004 at St Marks Church. This was the happiest day of our lives. I was so proud to be marrying Rye, he was the best thing that ever happened to me. I am honoured to have become his wife.
Ryan made me so happy, he was not only my husband, he was my best friend, my soul mate, my reason for living. He was so caring always putting me first and always making me laugh with his dry sense of humour. Whenever i was feeling down he'd always say, "look your'll always have me, i'll always look after you" That always made me feel better. That and the cheeky smile he always had on his face. The love we feel for each other words simply cannot express.
He made me feel so special everyday, now Ryan has gone i'm heart broken. There is such a massive void in my life now, it's unbearble without him.
We were meant to grow old together and have our own family, which we were both looking forward to. Rye would have been a great dad. Why is life so incredibly cruel?
I know that one day i will be with Ryan again and only then will i be happy again. This hole in my heart will never heal until we are reunited again.
Rye, i miss you every second of the day and i'll love you forever.
