When Broc Repard was playing junior high basketball, Ryan S. Ostrom was his coach. But he was so much more.
“He taught people skills as much as he taught basketball,” said Repard.
“He was a good leader and a good person to look up to. And he had that special smile we used to see in the locker room.”
Ostrom, 25, of Liberty, Pa., died Aug. 9 from small-arms fire in Habbaniya. He was assigned to Williamsport.

Prayers & Condolences For:
Ryan S. Ostrom
BY Anonymous on Mar 21, 2006 | |  | Ryan,
We are going to miss you so much. No one knew this was going to happen. All I want you to know is it is a very difficult time for us to try to understand why. I know we will never understand why.
You will always be in our hearts and soul, and we will meet you someday at that golden gate and we want you to be there waiting for us with that great big hug and smile you always gave to us. Also as you used to say Bryce I will have to teach you how to throw a ball... because your dad throws like a girl... You will someday be able to do that... So for now we have to tell you good bye and you are going to be missed badly by us.
We love you very much our friend
Love Andy, Dawn, Beau & Bryce

BY thamdo on Aug 28, 2005 | | | | I had the honor of knowing Ryan when he was younger, and played all stars with my son. I also know some of Ryans family. Ryan went from a star then, to an all American Hero. Now hes one of Gods chosen angels. May his family and love ones find peace in knowing that Ryan is still with them everyday, it's just in a different way now. Hes the angel that walks beside you all day long, every second of every day. God Bless you Ryan, God Bless Ryans family. And God Bless America.
