Ryan Touchstone

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
To know Ryan Daniel Touchstone is to know we didn’t have quite enough time. We didn’t have enough of his contagious laughter, his quick wit, or his sensitive heart. We didn’t have enough of the drumming fingers on a table, the charming and loving way he made people feel noticed and cared for. We didn’t have enough late-night card games, or enough of hearing his dreams for the future. We will never have enough of his smile or the twinkle in his eye. Ryan cared about family and friends and wanted to see them happy, no matter the cost. He was a loyal friend, hard worker, avid golfer, humble artist and a true adventurer– whether it was snowboarding or thinking of a new business plan. Ryan wanted to grow in depth intellectually and spiritually, and completed his undergraduate degree in business at Evangel University in Springfield, MO. He made his mark in the trucking industry as a Recruiter and was a Recruiting Manager at Safe Way Carrier. His faith in God brings us hope that we will see him again with our loving Father, in complete joy and freedom. Ryan will be missed by many, including and especially by his mother Meredith (Jeffrey) Spearman, his father Bryan (Terri) Touchstone, siblings Chelsea (John) Leahy, Joshua Spearman, Maddison McBurnie, Kristy Spearman, Makensie (Jon) Jarosinski, Matthew Spearman, Mallori McBurnie, grandparents Ronald and Susan Preston, Carley and Barbara Touchstone, aunt Dawn (Tony) Casas, uncle Barry Touchstone, cousins Eva and Lucia Casas, nephew Owen Spearman, among other relatives and lifelong friends Aaron Skirvin and Frank Downey. Family and friends may call Saturday, October 23rd, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Greece Assembly of God, 750 Long Pond Road. Service to follow at 1:30 PM. Interment to follow at Lakeview Cemetery, Brockport. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Rochester Adult and Teen Challenge.
I am so sorry for you families loss. Sending thoughts and prayers to your family. May you find comfort and peace knowing that you will see him again.
Ryan, I was there when you were born, you were in a hurry then since Mom just got there and in moments you were here. I have watched you grow and prayed for you all along the way. You are a precious gem with so many talents, you hid them for a while but God has been so faithful and never stopped molding you into the person He made you to be. You will be so missed but Ryan we can also say See You Later. Love and hugs from Aunt Gramma
An amazing person who saw the best in everyone. With a heart of gold and the best sense of humor, he put a smile on faces of everyone he came across. He will be missed and I feel honored to have been fortunate enough to call him friend. Fly high buddy!
I am so sorry for the family’s loss. May the comfort of our Heavenly Father surround each of you. First cousin to Carley Touchstone.
Met Ryan at Long Island Teen Challenge. Rest In Peace!
To Ryan’s family and friends, I send my deepest condolences. Since the first day Ryan came in to Safe Way Carrier, I knew he was something special. The dreams, goals, and visions he had for himself and the company set him apart from most, not only because those dreams, goals, and visions were wildly outrageous, but because he acted on them and made them come to life. I miss walking across the office floor and talking about how we were going to change the status quo for our roles, fantasy football trades that somehow never worked out for either of us, and how he was such a vital piece of your strategic growth. Work aside, Ryan’s chuckle was contagious and his care for others was genuine and authentic. It was a joy to get to know him over these past few months. God speed, Ryan!
My prayers and thoughts are with this wonderful young man’s family although I only knew Ryan a short five years did not seem like enough time to enjoy his kindness, his smile and his laughter. He was there for me a time that I was starting a new adventure listen to my struggles and was always ready for some sage advice passing has taught us all they never pass up an opportunity to be with those that you love rest in peace my friend,may the angels surround you with nothing but love and joy as you start your new adventure it is with deepest sympathy you will be truly missed..your friend Joseph smith…
To the Family and Friends of Ryan I send my deepest condolences and love and prayers of comfort and peace may you be comforted with this “ Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you” [John 16:22]. May the God of Hope give you peace and joy in these times!
Our hearts break for you and your family and you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Kevin and Katelyn Brown
Maritza Casas and family
So young. So much more life to live. My heart aches for Meredith, Bryan, Chelsea and the rest of the family. May you rest in peace sweet young man.
My dearest Ryan had so many wonderful attributes but what stands out in my memory is his hugs. When you got a hug from Ryan there was never any doubt you had been hugged and he was glad to see you. I will miss those hugs desperately but have no doubt you are in heaven giving your awesome love hugs! Love and HUGS, "Auntie Carol"
My deepest sympathies to Ryan’s family. I only knew Ryan for the last five years of his life, but all the memories I have with him are full of laughter and joy. He was a good friend and will miss him dearly. Thank you for all the fun and laughs Ryan. Rest in peace
Bryan and Meredith I did not know your son Ryan but I do know your dad, Carley and your mom Barbara from Greece Assembly. I know that this is a most difficult time in your life. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. No parent should ever have to bury their child. I pray for God’s peace to be in your hearts. I pray that you will feel God’s love all around the both of you. I pray that you both will find God’s joy again. My deepest sympathies go out to you as well as both of your families.
Our deepest sympathy’s to Ryan’s Family. His contagious laugh will be missed by many. I’m so thankful to have got to work with Ryan the past few years. I will forever cherish the few years of friendship we had with him! We miss you RyRy!
Dear Bryan and family, My deepest sympathy and love to you all. Bryan, I loved our youth group days together and your folks were a precious part of my growing up years. I’m sure Ryan had so much love and the best of family around him. Thankful that Jesus helps us walk through times of such hard loss. Many thoughts and prayers for you as your son is now welcomed with open arms in heaven.
Meredith, I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a dream with you in it and didn’t know why. I looked you up just now and found this. My heart aches for you and will keep you in my prayers.
My brother bear – nothing can take away the pain I am feeling. I long for another one of your enormous hugs and to hear your contagious laugh. I just want to be close to you again. I miss you more than I knew was possible. But I know you’re “walking in new life” and no longer bearing the scars of this world. Jesus is holding you now and I can’t wait to join. I love you bro
