Ryan Stanley Boyer made his beautiful energetic arrival into the world on May 22, 1992. Born to Stanley and Diana Turner-Boyer at Akron City Hospital, Ryan was a true Gemini. He was playful and intellectually curious, constantly juggling a variety of passions, hobbies and careers. He was a social butterfly who never met a stranger. His smile and charisma would light up a room. Ryan loved life! He love his family! He loved people! He loved to cook! He loved animals, bugs, flowers, plants, anything that had life!
At a young age, Ryan accepted his lord and savior Jesus Christ into his life. He was so eager to be baptized by Pastor Lorenzo Glenn. He attended Akron Public Schools graduating from Buchtel High School. He learned Judo at a young age. It is the martial art that focuses on the gentle way of combat. He played youth and high school football. He ran summer track, played drums for Buchtel High School and also with Akron Alkalf. He loved playing drums or just tapping anything he could find to tap on. Ryan took his drum sticks with him everywhere. His passions were fast cars and fast bikes.
