       Ryan ?Hammy? was a 2005 graduate of Plymouth High School and moved to Nashville, TN in 2008 to pursue his love for music. He had the privilege of being able to play in several venues and pubs in downtown Nashville with some of his closest friends. He was an accomplished bass player and no one had a greater love for music than Hammy did. The only thing Hammy loved more than living in Nashville was coming home to his family and friends.
      
       Ryan worked at Papa Murphy?s and was the store manager for many years. His co-workers adored him, as did his frequent customers.
      
       Ryan found something to admire and care about in every person he met. He noticed and appreciated the little things in life and his friends and family loved that about him. Ryan was known for making people laugh and he simply wanted everyone to be happy.
      
       Heaven received a beautiful soul and he will be deeply missed here on earth.
