Ryan was an elite soldier; but he was also a loving son & brother; a lifelong student; and a forever friend. Throughout his life, Ryan inspired people to become the best they could be. As a teacher, he loved sharing knowledge & encouraging new ways of thinking. He was a leader who motivated others to reach their goals.
SFC Ryan Gloyer was an athlete from a young age. As a student at Seneca Valley High School, he played varsity soccer & ran track. As a member of the Special Forces, Ryan’s dedication to physical fitness was noted & admired by his fellow soldiers. Adam Knauff, a classmate of Ryan’s, said he loved to run. Participation in this event welcomes everyone in the community to enjoy one of Ryan’s favorite activities. Ryan is remembered by many as someone who pushed his body to be better, stronger & faster; but, he also knew the importance of support & assistance for those who are struggling.
That’s why this Run is an opportunity for all people, regardless of health or fitness, to get up & get moving. Friends & family members often speak of the encouragement Ryan provided to them at many points in their lives, so we know Ryan would be encouraging everyone to take on the challenge of this 5k.
