Ryan had to spend his birthday yesterday speaking at one of his best friends funeral. What a very sad day, but he did a great job. Kourtney and Ryan were friends since the first day of 6th grade. We will both miss him, he was a great guy. As Ryan puts it, a friend is someone who loves your wife and kids and treats them with the same respect you do. This was Koutney through and through. We pray for his family and the pain they are going through. May God take Kourtney by the hand and keep him close until the time we all meet again.
