To the Family of Officer Ryan,

I was a couple of months shy of 5 years old when Officer Ryan was killed. My father was an SFFD firefighter and when I got a little older he told me how Tim had been shot and killed. My father knew Tim and his wife and I began to comprehend the impact of Tim's death. It was very disturbing to my young mind but I never forgot it.

Recently I found this Memorial Page and decided to look up Officer Ryan and found this opportunity to post a reflection.

In thinking of your relative, I can remember some of the thoughts and feelings that I experienced so long ago. They were unsettling and I wanted at that time to somehow fix it so Officer Ryan would have survived. This of course, was my childhood thought process and not reality. The sadness of his family's loss lingered and even today there are tinges of memory that bring sorrow to my heart.

I am a retired law enforcement officer and have been to several funerals of fallen officers. It is always an emotional event for me to reflect on the stark reality of what is involved in serving in such a worthy profession.

I have read the posted comments from some of you, his family and commend you for keeping Tim's memory alive. God bless you for your faithfulness.

Dear Grandpa,

I deeply regret never having had the opportunity to know you. I'm deeply saddened that you were taken from our family in such a senseless, horrific way.

May you rest in peace Grandpa. I love you even though I never had the chance to personally meet you.

You were a man a great integrity. I hope to live my life in such a way as to make you proud. May you rest in peace Grandpa.


Love your granddaughter,

Lynn Ryan

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 66th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. Even 66 years ago domestic violence incidents and suicide by cop incidents posed grave danger to responding officers. I see that your wife was pregnant with your third child...how sad that this child only knew you through pictures and stories. My cherished son was also murdered 2 1/2 months before his son Cody was born.
