27th July 1974 - 25th May 2006
Words by Claire Hunt - Ryan's Wife
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.
loads of love
Claire. xxxxxxxxx
Tributes For This Week
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MON
Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR TUES
Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR WED
Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR THUR
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR FRI
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SAT
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
we watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUN
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

Miss you x
"When You're Gone"
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah
Love always mate..

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone Don’t Worry

FOR SATURDAY
DO YOU MAKE THEM LAUGH?
Do you make them laugh in heaven
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter
Like you did when you were here?
The very mention of your name
The memories of your smile
The little things you said and did
Are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us
There's nothing left to say
Except that without you here
There is no perfect day
For no-one knows the heartache
That lies behind our smiles
No-one knows how many times
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
So there won't be any doubt
You're so wonderful to think of
But so hard to be without
We hold you close within our hearts
And there you shall remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
SWEET DREAMS
Sweet dreams are all I have of you,
They're all you left behind,
Those cherished, lovely memories,
Never again to find.
On earth you were so wonderful,
No child could I compare
To all the love you gave to me,
You were wonderful, so rare.
Sweet dreams they keep me going
Through the long and lonely nights
How I wish that I could hug you
Here and squeeze you oh so tight.
If I could walk to Heaven,
To see you every day
Just know I'd never want to leave,
I know I'd long to stay.
We parted here on earth my child
As God's will shall be done,
My dreams will become reality
When once more we'll be one.
I will love you for eternity,
Forever and some more,
Because you were the sweetest child,
The kindest and most pure.
If Heaven's full of Angels,
Like you were here on earth,
I thank the Lord for lending you,
For giving me your birth,
One day my child I'll see you there,
So please look out for me,
You'll see my smile so wide
Before you see my spirit free.
God takes the sweetest Angels first,
This we know is true,
For he came, looked around
And decided to choose you.

18TH JULY 2009
♥ The Hearts Library.♥
� Sarah Blackstone.
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
Id put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.
I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.
I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.
If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.
There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.
For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!
I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.
Am building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.
I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you.
