From the family of Ryan Michelson:  It is with great sadness that we report that Ryan passed away in a car accident in Seattle on November 23, 2024.  He was 41 years old.  We are still trying to process this sudden, unexpected and devastating loss.  We will always remember his infectious smile, his laugh, his good humor, and his kind heart, as well as the creativity, determination, and passion with which he approached those things in life that interested him most.  We will love him always and miss him dearly.
