This webhosting service is dedicated to our son and brother, Ryan. We lost Ryan in an auto accident on March 4, 2003. Ryan had just turned 16 two months before and was driving in a snowstorm on a steep hill when he lost control of his car.
You probably hadn't met Ryan. That's too bad. He was a wonderful, caring, sincere, thoughtful, full-of-life kid with so much promise. Those who knew Ryan were better people for having known him.
Now, the reason for the name. Ryan used to come up to us at the oddest times and poke us in the shoulder. He'd, of course, say "Poked you." He was also quite fond of randomly blurting out the word "Monkey!" Hence the monkey poking himself as a logo for PokedYou.com.
Amongst his many activities Ryan was very active in the Youth Group at West Bowles Community Church in Littleton, Colorado. One of the events Ryan looked most forward to each year was the big trip the High School group took to such exotic places as California, Washington, D.C., New York, or Chicago. We set up an educational fund in Ryan's honor at the church to allow less fortunate kids to go in his place. 15 kids were helped by Ryan's fund this year.
It is our sincerest hope to continue Ryan's fund. Therefore we will donate any and all profits from the operation of this webhosting service to the Ryan Keller Youth Group Educational Fund in his honor.
We appreciate your support of PokedYou.com and truly thank you for helping us keep the memory of Ryan alive. |
