No man is only one thing.

Ryan Bale will be missed by those he had a positive impact on.

A manner of death nor a criminal charge can purport to paint a complete picture of a man, and that remains true in this case.

For some, Ryan Bale will forever hold a special place in their heart. A complicated feeling remains where pure love once occupied. What cannot be taken away is the many fond memories of good times had with close friends and family, of which those who survive him will forever toast.
