As someone who’s dealt with this firsthand I can see it in his face, the way he moves and the way he speaks. It hurts man because I remember speaking the same way, acting the same way and just trying to push it away even thought you know it won’t leave. My heart goes out to his family, his loved ones and most importantly to him. I wish I could’ve given this kid a hug and let him know I feel what he feels and I think what he thinks and that he wasn’t alone. May your soul rest easy in the arms of god, watch over your family bro they’ll miss you forever.
Damn bro. Seems like an extremely genuine kid who just straight up loves the game, abs everything that comes with it. Baseball community always rally’s around…always will forever. Rest easy Ryan.
Some people don’t like the idea of making a business video about a deceased person, but I don’t think this channel would do that, especially since their goal seems to be to promote players so they have a better chance of been signed which Ryan won’t get to accomplish. And this video is demonetised. That’s why a lot of these type of videos disable liking. This video was definitely from the heart.
Super sad. As a Dad of two young men 6 and 9 and we’re in the early stages of sports, currently doing Little League baseball- this makes me double think when chatting and coaching my own boys. Playing a sport puts you in a serene state of mind. And watching the promise of these young men really puts things in perspective. I’ll make sure to let my two boys know how much they mean to me no matter what. RIP young man. You looked like you had God given talent young man ❤️🙏🏽 Prayers to the family and my condolences.
This is heartbreaking, as a kid born in 2005 it’s so hard to imagine dying and losing everything, especially when he had sooo much potential in front of him💔
When he asked why he works so hard and so much I feel like it just kept his mind off other things, that’s why I’m always putting in work. May he rest in love ❤️
He was christain but he took his own life. GOD doesn't like it when you take your life because that shouldn't be your choice. But we'll never know if he went to heaven we will just have to wait and see❤✝️
sweet kid. great kid. accomplished many things in his life and was gone too soon. god decided it was time for him to come home and now he can watch over his friends from above. blessings go out to his family and close friends. LLR
every year before tryouts start for high school, i come back and watch this video. just reminds me not to give up because at most i got 2 more seasons of true ball left in my life since i sint goin to college since i'm goin into a trade. RJ just leaves somethin in me and to love the game while u still can enjoy it
Ryan was a great young man. He was taken too young and my heart goes out to his family. The world is at a loss now that he is gone. Hopefully his message will carry on to future athletes
Hell, I'm now 33 and I remember when someone I played with when I was his age passed away from just being involved with individuals he shouldn't have been involved with. Had so much potential at only 16. Was gone one day to the next. Even though what happened to him was sort of a result of his own choices. It still sucked and I couldn't help but feel bad. Then I hear about young players like this, who just seem like they love the game and that's their cherished moments they share with their friends and family and community. Then suddenly taken by accidents. It hits hard, I know many of you are young. I'm still young in terms of age. But, when you are older. You will see why these moments hit you harder. Cuz you have lived them and out lived them. Sometimes I wonder how I am still alive today and I just have to remember it literally is a blessing. Love people my fellow ballplayers. Challenge each other, but don't hurt each other. Rest well Ryan.
My tennis partner passed away my sophomore year on his way back from spring break. He was a senior and had just signed to go to the Navy after graduating. My grandma passed away the next day, and they were burning on the same day. Her funeral was first and I remember feeling relieved for her. She had been suffering for a while. When I got to my tennis partner’s funeral though, I just broke down. Seeing his pictures playing tennis and marching in band just hurt too much and I sobbed for him and the future he had in store for him. That was a rough few days.
Sadly Suicide!! For anyone reading this just know you ARE LOVED and you are IMPORTANT...your life MATTERS!!! Please if anyone is feeling lonely and need someone to be a leaning ear, please reach out to me. I can't promise to fix your problems but I promise you won't face them alone. You are here for a reason!! ❤
@@coltonkucera5667 Ik it was a car accident but you can tell that baseball is the only thing he loves and the only thing he has and thinks about and his life will otherwise be nothing without baseball and you can tell he has nothing else besides baseball and he lost it all
He seemed like a really good person , humble and sweet , he looked like an angel on earth !! My prayers and wishes go out to his family this is so sad and heartbreaking 💔 🥺
mental health is something that is so important and isn’t really talked about that much , even the best athletes go through it and it sucks but LLRJ3🙏🏼
You could see it in his eyes. Prayers go out to his friends and family and others battling through times like these. I can’t imagine what his family is going through right now. Always speak up if you are not okay. It’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem, there always a way out of what you are going through. Rip Rj3 🕊❣️
Only being 17 and seeing this happen it hits hard. This kid had a lot of talent and was taken away just like that and on top of that he was younger then me 💔. Please don’t take anything for grantee I took my baseball Career for grantee and quit and it’s the worst mistake ever. Beside that please pray for him and his family REST EASY RYAN 🙏🏻🧡
I can see the sadness in him RIP young man this definitely touched a lot of people’s heart I love you and I love anyone who’s going through mental Illness
That’s crazy bruh, don’t even know the kid and I knew he was gonna be something special. You know that just shows how quickly anyone can lose it all no matter how gifted or talented you are.
This shouldn't have dislikes he will always be with us and his golden personality 🙏🙏🙏 god bless have a good day and remember never to take anything for granted
I’m so sorry to this young mans family, seeing a fellow 05-er hurts and on top of that he’s a baseball player. We might not know eachother but we are connected and I feel his pain and I just want to give him a hug. My prayers go out to the Jefferson family, rest easy brother.
I never knew him, only got to watch the fame of him on the internet. I too can say even though i’m no where near as good as him even when i was his age, sports can get to us. I’m a collegiate athlete and sometimes everyday life waking up is a struggle but i remember the people around me and how they’d be affected. Everyone always needs to remember that, in the last four years i’ve lost friends due to mental health and in the last 10 years i’ve lost people who were father figures because of it. It’s okay to not be okay
rest easy kid. had a great amount of potential. guys if ur fighting mental health talk to an adult don’t go through it alone it’s hard to do and not a lot of people make it through.
RIP Ryan I’ve always wanted to comment on this vid but I was never able to as my mom never let me comment or like on anything till today. You were an amazing kid and I hope a lot of people remember your name!!❤️😥
probably my 10x watching this video. It hurts because, looking at it now u can see it in his eyes in his actions he’s not all there. But in the heat of the moment at the current time it’s over looked and difficult to see. Shocked me and certainly shocked the baseball world and hopefully we can all learn from this unfortunate event that taking your life is never the answer and if you need help find someone anyone to talk to.
This kid looks and sounds like the most genuine and kind kid and I know for a fact that if it wernt for this tragedy he would get drafted. Rest in peace we all love you❤❤❤❤
I just saw this and I love this channel and to just see this side of the channel makes me want to try harder and seeing this gives me the most inspiration to keep going a be grateful and work hard😔

I can't promise to fix your problems but I promise you won't face them alone. You are here for a reason!! ❤ This is incredibly heartbreaking. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to Ryan's family & friends. No parent should ever have to bury a child...ever!!! 🙏🏻😭
It’s sad to to see what happen to this kid. He was young with a dream and that was taken away from him. This video had me like… damn, He was a young ball player with a dream. May he Rest In Peace😔
May God be with his family and friends! GodBless Ryan. And everyone remember, everyday you wake up is a blessing! Thank God and Jesus through prayer for it! GodBless and Amen all!❤️🙏🏻✝️
I never even knew this kid and he seems like such a good kid. For someone who plays and loves baseball, I can say Ryan would definitely have had a high shot for majors. I can’t even emagine what someone like him was going through. Rest easy brother🙏
My prayers for the family and friends and to Ryan , GOD BLESS and may rest easy,HE would have been a great one again 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 to the family for your loss 😇😇😇…
I don't know him, but he looked like a grateful, loving, fun, and friendly kid. Prayers to his love ones 🙏 ❤ .
