Ryan Bickel

Ryan Lee Bickel, born September 21, 1977 in Springfield, Missouri; departed this life on February 2, 2009 at the age of 31 years old.

His smile made our day,

His laugh made our week

His sweetness made our year,

But his friendship made our life.

Ryan accepted Christ at a young age, lived with God in his heart and is now in His hands. Ryan and his family attended North Point Church in Springfield.

Ryan lived, laughed and loved large; impacting every life he touched. He had a huge zest for life. The loss of his unique heart of gold, mischievous smile and strong warm hugs will leave a void in the hearts of everyone that was blessed to know him.

Ryan enjoyed spending time with his friends and family, listening to music, riding horses, enjoying nature and cooking. Ryan was a beloved father, son, brother, fianc�, uncle and friend.

Ryan is survived by his parents: Mike and Erma Bickel, Troy Forester and David Davis; his sisters: Amanda Gannaway and Rachael Bickel; his daughters: Madison and Emma-Kathryn Bickel and Kayleeann Willadsen; his fianc�: Rebecca Davault and many loyal friends.
