In Gresham’s halls where health takes flight, A birthday bright as morning's light, Ryan stands, a nurse, a friend, Where quiet wisdom knows no end. Composer of beauty, jazz in the soul, Steely Dan melodies making him whole, A dad whose love is tightly bound, In whispered acts, his care is found. Surly exterior, secretly kind, A heart with wisdom, subtle, refined, In every note and heartfelt plan, Lives the legacy of this remarkable man.
