I am shocked and saddened to hear the news of Ryan’s passing. I was always happy to see him when he visited our Section at the university (the Secretariat) – his wonderful smile and his unselfish drive to improve all of the subjects that he so passionately believed in. We need many more Ryan Kemps.

Coolest Dude I ever met!
Never afraid to say what he genuinely felt whoever the receiver
Learnt a lot from his passion and vibrancy
