Losing my best friend feels like losing a piece of myself. Ryan Nichols was one in a million. He walked into any room and lit it up with that smile, that cowboy hat, those boots, and that aura you could feel before you even saw him. Everyone knew who he was, and if they didn’t, they wanted to. He just had that kind of presence...
