RYAN EVAN ARCHAMBAULT

Exactly one year ago I found this website, and left a memory I had of Ryan. Oddly enough I have been thinking of you and your family a lot in the past month. I can't believe it is one year to the day. I would really like to talk to you, if you have the time. please email me briabeauregard@gmail.com

i look forward to hearing from you.

thank you so much.

Bria,

Thank You so much for sharing your memory of Ryan.  Yes, anytime someone leaves a message or lights a candle I will rec an e-mail. Your memory made me laugh and cry at the same time.  He could be the sweetest person in the world.  I met so many of his friends after his passing, and they are the ones that helped me get through days that I thought would never be possible. They all shared there feelings of him with me, and all had good to say about him.  I learned alot about him from them and was so happy to meet them all.  He had alot of good friends.   You happen to be one, of many  that remember him by a song.  When I hear a song from the past, I will often remember where I was and who was there. Most of the time it would be a happy time......a few that were sad.  I hope that whenever you hear LISTEN TO YOUR HEART,  it will bring you a smile. Ryan loved to make someone happy.  Don't get me wrong, he could be a typical male and aggravate the crap out of you.  But no one is perfect........ 

ALWAYS KEEP THAT MEMORY IN YOUR HEART. 

Thank you again,

Robin

PROUD TO BE, AND WILL ALWAYS BE RYAN'S MOM

I am not sure if you even read this anymore, but I wanted to share a memory that I have of Ryan. As anyone who knew Ryan, saying he was a goofball is an understatement. I also loved to laugh and make people laugh so Ryan and I got along pretty well. I remember the Thursday before the accident, we were trying to teach eachother how to ball room dance in the atrium. Even though we should have been in class, Ryan felt the need to belt out the song "listen to your heart" in the craziest voice. Needless to say, we got caught and both got detention. It's crazy because Ryan and I weren't the best of friends, and six years later he still crosses my mind on a regular basis. That is when you know someone is truly special. The fact that he is remembered by people who barely knew him, and he still taught them lessons in life that they remember six years later. Always laugh. Remember to always say I love you to those you love. Dont take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive. The other day my husband pulled a picture out of my scrapbook box, and it was a picture of Ryan. On the back I had written lyrics to the song he was singing on that thursday "listen to your heart, when he's calling for you. Listen to your heart, theres nothing else you can do." I hope your family is healing from his passing. Dance, laugh, sing, and joke for him. Its how he would have wanted all of us to live our lives :)

Ryan was my very first friend at Stop and Shop.The first person that bothered to talk to me.I leant him a dollar once so he could get something(until learning from Adam he was notorious for forgetting to pay him back,haha),but it's ok,since I'm just glad I was able to help him personally at some point,even if it was something as miniscule as a dollar and I wish I knew him more.I remember,on the night of the accident,I was walking in the back room to talk to my dad,and he walked by me and sang the chorus of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" by The Culture Club(it was an inside joke between me an Alex B.,goes to show how well we all knew each other).I don't know anyone that ever would have wanted to hurt him.He loved everyone in that store,and we all loved him back.It's hard walking in that store now and not being able to remember everything he did there,even in the short time that I knew him.I even refused to remove my rememberance stickers on my name tag after we were told to take any and all stickers off of our name tags(I even re-taped them on when the old tape wore off).I only agreed to just get a whole new tag.I still have that tag,intact,with all the stickers,and I will keep it,forever,to remember what a great soul Ryan was.

THANK YOU GREG.  YOU HAVE NO IDEA, OF HOW MUCH THAT MEANT TO ME.

LOVE ROBIN

 

This may not be a long memory, or even significant to others, but to me, it was everything. I had lent Ryan a dollar one day at lunch, so he could get something to eat, he couldn't stop thanking me, i didn't think much of it, i was just doing a friend a favor. Almost a month after that, I had asked a few people if i could borrow a dollar for my own lunch, i hadn't thought to ask ryan, right before i sat down at my lunch table, Ryan walked over to me and handed me a dollar. "hey, i owed you this." he walked away. That was the last time i heard Ryan speak and saw him. A month after he had borrowed a dollar, he remembered, and gave it to me. One dollar. to some a meaningless dollar, to me, that dollar reminded me of how thoughtful of a person i had become friends with, and to this day reminds me of what a good friend i had. i'll always miss ryan. always.
