My last conversation with Ryan Woods.

Our friend Ryan passed away Nov. 7th at 12:36 pm....it was one of the greatest privileges of my life to meet him, get to know him, tell his story, and in the end call him a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Jessica and two gorgeous children India and Jones. He is one of the greatest men I have ever known... God bless you brother. I will never forget you and I pray your story of love, friendship, and community will spread all around the world.

[@HayleyMarie814]

scary when he said '3 weeks left' because he was spot on with the timing. Exactly 3 weeks later he passed. Rest in peace Ryan xx

[@sarahhaley4842]

Is there an update on his wife and kids? I hope they are well!

[@AngieJames4172]

@@sarahhaley4842 On another video, his Dad wrote 2 months ago that his/Ryan's wife had remarried. However Ryan's dad seemed VERY happy for it as it was someone "familiar" and who had loved "the children first" I cannot locate the video right off hand, my apologies!

[@lukehanson7411]

When you think your life is hard, watch this video. His positive outlook and his fight against this disease is so inspirational. What a great young man.

[@chrisk2426]

I'm going through a pretty rough time in my life right now but this story has definitely put some things into perspective. I am so lucky to bed alive and healthy. Life could ALWAYS be worse.

One thing I can honestly say without a doubt that one of this mans purpose on earth was to show us ALL how to be a better person period and for that alone I AM TRULY GRATEFUL , AMEN!!!!

[@skygazer6898]

Ryan Woods was an inspirational human being. I believe we are all energy and Ryan is still very much here but in another form. Ryan has been a teacher in that he has shown us all how we should be living our lives now, right now in this very moment

[@correnlove1391]

Hes just inspiring. Your series definitely does what it's meant to. Life's here one second and gone the next we need to appreciate every moment. My heart goes out to this family and his children I'm sure they know what an incredible man he was.

Their strength is amazing and profound. I had a scare with my husband a year ago and thank God it was not malignant. But. I can tell you I was not strong and basically fell apart. I couldn’t image being without him or having him here to help raise our son who adores him and is on the autism spectrum. God Bless them.

On November 2012, my son turned 14, nd this wonderful young man Ryan, passed away. 10days later on November 17,2012 my son tyreese, joined ryan in heaven. At least my son has beautiful people like ryan to stand by his side!!

Thank you, Thank you! My heart is so grateful for this message

[@Cutekatie16]

It is actually impossible not to cry at this video! Such an amazing message and an amazing man.

[@tanyastewart7019]

Ryan was a beautiful soul, a vibrant, open and loving spirit in action! This world HAS changed because of his time here and the people whose lives he touched and those who were inspired by his story! And he had the PERFECT partner, wife and best friend in Jess! Their love was clear and something that sooo many people dream of but possibly had never seen before in reality. It’s the kind of love we should all strive to find for ourselves and to give freely to others! Justin Baldoni, your work...the stories you tell through your art and the beautiful way you present them...is an inspiration in itself! I can find something you have created and watch it and regardless of my circumstances in life that had me feeling beaten and defeated at the end of my viewing I literally find myself feeling blessed and thankful for this life I have even with it’s challenges! Inevitably I will have tears running down my face, prayers for these beautiful souls being released from my lips and a fullness in my heart with each one! And I will spend hours watching more or watching the same story several times to absorb small details that I might’ve missed in my initial viewing because there’s beauty and love even amidst the sadness and tragedy and the MOST AMAZING lessons buried in each one! You are also a gift and a blessing to this world through the tales you share with us in an open, painfully honest expression through their life travels and you do it with beauty and grace and in a way that we are all touched and changed! Thank you!

[@SiorraCraig]

Thank you for this. You brought waterfalls of tears out of my eyes...

[@aidam.3845]

RIP Ryan 🙏 I lost my dad to cancer on June 7, 2016 😢 Why can't they find a cure for this awful disease!??

[@zico77a]

I am so sorry for your loss and for all people suffering from any cancer form. But I do believe that there is a cure, just not profitable unfortunately and people will continue to loose their battles :(

[@JenniferFenelon]

Sorry to hear about your loss. It sucks that there is a cure out there but to some money means more. Being in the medical field opened my eyes a bit. I was diagnosed last November and apparently there is no cure, I believe there is a way to regenerate our cells through what we eat and meditations, a change in our entourage. Anyone going through these conditions are heroes to me!!!!!

[@hydie0073]

Aida M. my condolences to you and your family...❤❤

[@blueeyedblonde3666]

I have high chances of cancer in my family, sorry for your loss. Hope the time you had with your dad was built on wonderful memories. I believe there is a cure but scientists want to market it a certain way to make money.

Because "they" make too much money off of the sick!

[@lvdlindenn]

This video is so special! Ryan is such an inspiration! He inspires me to Love a little More, to give a little More, to laugh a little more and to inspire a little More! The way he handled the whole situation is so inspiring, the way he talks about it, the humour. Because of this video I started to focus more on the things that really matter! Things like Family, friends, God and less on the things that don’t really matter at the end of the day. For me this video is an inspiration to become a better person!

Why do you the good people die? I just came across Ryan’s blog a couple days ago. I thought he was fine he showed up on my KZbin this morning. And I find it he’s been gone for a while. This supposed to be an answer for everything. I just can’t find answers for why the good people go. Such a beautiful family. Such grace. My heart is broken I’m never good person leaves. But I’m glad he’s not suffering.🙏🏻🙏🏻

Justin, I've been a fan of yours for years and I thank you for bringing this beautiful story to my attention, to the world's attention. My warmest thoughts go out to you and his family. With gratitude, thank you.

[@GIguy]

My deepest love and sympathies to him and his family, and nothing but love to you for sharing his story. I just lost my uncle to cancer last Monday, and have lost so many over the years to cancer, but your KZbin documentaries have helped me, so much, in coping with this rotten disease. I'm a total stranger to you, but man to man, I love you, so much, you're an angel sent from heaven, to share people's lives, and to inspire others to cope, to live, and to die, with peace, love and dignity, thank you for being you. If my cancer comes back (at 21, colon cancer nearly took my life, but I'm now 47, and still going strong because of people like you), I'm totally calling you so people can see cancer sucks, but it's what we make of the time we have left on this earth that really matters, all my live and respects, God bless you xo

What an amazing man and family. His act of sharing has touched countless numbers of people. What more could you ask for in life than to bring positivity, hope and love to a world filled with so much negativity. Ryan's shared journey is a perfect example of why we all need to look at our time on this earth as very limited, a wasting asset if you will, and to use this asset honestly and openly. Sharing your gifts of love and gratitude means far more than any amount of money or power. I don't even know Ryan, however I know I'm grateful to have seen this video.
