I miss him everyday. Through Ryans death, God has done great things. We have see countless people come to know the Lord as their savior. As I said before,I miss Ryan so much, but I'm amazed how God can take a horrible thing and use it for his glory. I have never questioned God why this event happened. I'am honored that God has used our son's death to bring others to the saving grace of our Lord and savior. I have a great peace knowing I will see Ryan again and that he is home. Waiting on his family to come home too. Ryans dad. It’s been two half years since our sons death. I miss him everyday. Through Ryans death, God has done great things.

When there was no one on the bus that would sit with me, Ryan would always bring his cheerful self over n sit with me. On the way to contests and field trips we would talk about what God was doing in our lives. He once asked me if I knew Jesus. Being a Christian, of course I said "Yes." But then he said do you really really really know Jesus Christ. I felt some conviction that I was not as close to Him as I thought. I was going through the motions, just an everyday "Christian." Ryan challenged me to be more than that and I am so thankful he did. So will you take the challenge and not go through the motions? Ryan, I miss you so much and can't wait to see you again at our final destination. I am truly thankful for the impact that Ryan McAfee had on my life.

He works in so many mysterious ways! Ryan sounded like he led a life like Christ and even if he didn't know it, he led others to Christ and helped a lot of people be saved, and most likely people will be saved just by listening to his story. he sounds like an amazing person and an example of Christ; how we should be living our lives.

Called my brother in OK. to take his daughter to the Motions Tour concert. Thank you to the McAfee family for sharing all this love and Matthew for sharing in your talents and love for God. I also posted on facebook and want to share in the example for Jesus. Heard the story on KLOVE this AM. Called my brother in OK. to take his daughter to the Motions Tour concert.

I hadn't really seen all the lyrics to the song until today - having only heard the music. What an inspiring message and wonderful story! Thank you.

Matthew's song had already been an inspiration to me and now to hear about Ryan I'm even more blessed. It's not just young people who need to hear and heed the message. I'm 68 and beginning to wear down. As we age we get tired more easily, begin to have physical problems and the temptation is there to cut back a bit, ease off, and just go through the motions. But I want to die having given my all, crawl into Heaven exhausted, if necessary, knowing that I have given everything. I just needed the reminder.
