Ladies and gentleman, as some of you know my 18 year old son Ryan has been battling cancer for the last 2years and it is with great sadness that I have to inform you that he passed away in his sleep at 10.10am this morning. Me and my wife, Sue, were at his bedside. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for helping to make his last 2 years as good as they could possibly have been. I know he regarded you all as good friends and he was never happier than when tearing around in the company of other Maseratis. I may go a little quiet for a while but when I get my focus back I will, hopefully, be back to normal. Thanks again for your support and friendship. Regards.

Ian,

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear and very special son.

I only met Ryan once, he was indeed a lovely boy.

I am typing with tears in my eyes and can only imagine the sense of loss and grief you and your family are going through at this time.

Take care, thinking of you in your time of need,

Sincerely,

Frank

Dear Ian none of us can understand the great loss of a child and what you are going through right now. Both you and your wife have been amazing parents to Ryan and have offered him unforgetable special moments. I have been honoured and privileged to get to know such a strong and positive thinking young man. I will always cherish the precious moments I have spend with him. Our deepest condolences are with you and your family. I know that you will need some time however if there is anything at all I can do please let me know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

Marios

Ian, that must have been a very difficult post to write. Many thanks for letting us know. Through these forums I felt I knew Ryan a little bit and am deeply saddened by the news.

I can't begin to imagine what you are going through. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Ian,

Words are never enough at such a difficult time. From your posts it seems like you had a very special relationship with Ryan and he must have had a fine time enjoying so many glorious cars with you. When your pain and grieving start to ease I'm sure you will be left with many special memories.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

All the very best,
Adam
