From the clip, it appears he was deeply impacted by the horrible disease of addiction. I thought RDKJ's comment was very appropriate, to share that the "person" was a great teacher -- when the disease wasn't in control.
And I agree with Sunsally completely

Re: Lawrence Ryan

I met Lawrence several times in Vegas @ a few of his Neon Sun locations. He treated my wife & i so well. He took us out to eat.........just "because" He wasn't trying to sell us anything. He did have a terrible addiction problem and talked about it openly. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind us mentioning it here amongst his friends. My son has the same problem. It's a terrible struggle. may God bless you Lawrence.

Re: Lawrence Ryan

I have just finished watching that tv show. Its the saddest story I've ever seen. Just to know that some of you knew him made me cry.

On the other hand it makes me mad when I see people wasting their life away when I'm here fighting to survive each day from brain cancer since 2004!

He is in a better place right now and probably doesnt have to fight any demons anymore. RIP Lawrence you seemed like a great guy.

So sorry about your son. We have a saying in French :
Quand on se regarde on se désole,
quand on se compare on se console

Roughly translated is when you are looking at yourself your feel desolated but when you are comparing yourself your console yourself.

Sounds much better in French but everyone has their own story and I'm sure if everyone here started to tell us about their lives we would be shocked as ****!

Re: Lawrence Ryan

Though I didn't know him at all, I met him in the hospital at Monta Vista. He was my room mate, and was a good guy. He m ade me feel at ease when I first got there. I am very sad to here that he is gone. He made me get up and go to group sessions, instead of laying around all day in bed, and told me that I needed to eat to keep up my strenght

Re: Lawrence Ryan

It is truly sad. I read underneath the obituary, where some people wrote, that they will not rest until the people who stole from him are handcuffed and arrested. I have no clue what that is about. How tragic. Sometimes tragic situations can either bring out the best or the worst in people. May he rest in peace.

I meet Lawrence back in 2001, great guy. And if he was ready to put his story on TV, no one here has a right to call someone a jerk.

He is such a great guy that he is using his addiction to try to help others after he failed. That is what a great person is..

Man I really loved his bright eyes and infectious smile.

Re: Lawrence Ryan

I think NJ Tanner thought RDJK was being rough on Lawrence and was actually defending Larry with calling RDJK a jerk. So apparenty they were both speaking in his honor. :)
