• I was so saddened to learn of Ryan's passing. I know that Ryan was well loved and respected. I still remember being in high school, 16 years old. I was having a "party" (my parents were at home). When Ryan pulled up in front of my house my Dad came flying down the basement to tell me Ryan's tires were on fire! LOL! Lots of great memories. Leslie, you have my deepest, sincerest sympathy. - Posted by: cathy kelly (searcy) (friend ) on: May 30, 2016

• I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to Leslie, Sheldon, Steven, Michelle and the rest of the Wirth Family. Ryan was not only my very good friend but was my Mentor in the Industry. I first met Ryan when I was 6 years old, when he was just starting Perfect Landscaping and working on a Sod job for my Father. He gave me a Perfect Landscaping ball cap, which I still have to this day. I would wear it every so often to meet with Ryan and we would always have a great laugh. Later when I was in my Teens, Ryan offered me a summer job on his landscaping crew. I remember telling my Dad I didn't want to be a landscaper, oh if I had only knew where fate would land me, I would have jumped at the opportunity. Fast forward to 1999, and I entered into the Landscaping industry. Immediately Ryan became not only a client but began to mentor me in the industry. I valued each conversation and meeting with him as there always seemed more to be learned from such a wise man. I truly respected how he ran his business with such a high degree of ethics and professionalism, all the while putting his family first at all times. I will never forget the lessons he taught me over the years. Ryan loved people who were hard workers, and naturally bonded with me and my crew. Ryan had an especially close relationship with Russell and Shawn that always loved when Ryan would visit them on sites. This was especially so when we were working on weekends and Ryan would show up in his beloved SSR, and often take people for a boot in his car. He was for ever cracking jokes and playing tricks on me and the guys. It always seemed to be a one up man ship of who could get who better. I always looked forward to our phone calls, as no matter the problem one of us were having the other could end the phone call with both of us laughing and feeling better. Some of the best times together were on the golf course, where of course the hijinks would start between myself and our friend James, and Ryan would be laughing hysterically and egging me on. I will never forget those times. Ryan was truly a man to be looked up to and respected. He loved life, and always knew how to have a good time. Ryan you will be missed, rest in peace my friend, you will never be forgotten. - Posted by: Keith Porter (Friend and Protege) on: May 30, 2016

• Leslie and family, Harry and I send our love and sympathy. We will miss Ryan's sense of humour, his friendship, his conversations and his concern for his family. Some of the laughter and good times will stick with us forever. He was full of life and we will truly miss him. Precious memories keep you near, but in our hearts you are always there. Love you so much. - Posted by: Charlene & Harry Hubatka (sister & brother in law) on: May 28, 2016

• My deepest sorrow goes out to Leslie , Stephen, daughter in laws and grandkids. Your family has been through alot the last 2 years . Ryan was a great man and friend, he taught me a lot. It's amazing how two competitors can become such good friends. Something I am sure neither of us expected. I didn't realize until the last few days that have passed, how close we had become. I loved our talks and how we could de-stress after a long day and cheer up each other up. I already miss the texting, phone calls and breakfast meetings. The best part of my holiday this year was visiting you and Leslie in Yuma with my family, thank God I made it this time ! Thank you for teaching me there is more to life then work and that's why we work hard to enjoy life. Rest in peace my friend and you truly are "the sod father" I will remember to always put the green side up. Thanks Buddy. - Posted by: Gord bragg B& B landscape (Friend) on: May 28, 2016

• For the last 20 years or so Ryan ( Perfect Landscaping ) did all our landscaping work in Winnipeg. I always found Ryan to be fair and a man of his word. I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Leslie during this most difficult time. - Posted by: John Wiebe (Business) on: May 28, 2016
