About Ryan
Since joining the Symfony community in November 2007, shortly after the release of Symfony 1.0, Ryan has become a familiar face (and voice) through SymfonyCasts, the official Symfony tutorial site. He's also a member of the Symfony Core Team and a regular contributor.
Beyond being the visionary behind numerous initiatives like Symfony UX, the Maker Bundle, Webpack Encore, and the Symfony Demo, Ryan has significantly contributed to the Symfony Docs, including the Docs Builder used for compiling Symfony documentation. He's also the author of the first blog talking about Symfony.
Ryan's contributions extend to delivering engaging and insightful talks at Symfony conferences (you can watch many of them in the Replay section of your Symfony Conferences account). Above all, Ryan is known for his kindness and eagerness to support fellow community members.
Now, Ryan needs us. If you are in a position to, please donate today: Ryan's GoFundMe Donations Page.

I think this IS the main point about Ryan. There's few people like him in the community But almost none at his level.
You are a mentor for all Symfony developer !
Thank you
May the force be with him and his familly.
Sending plenty of love and full of hope to seeing him kicking some butt for more years
I wrote to you not to forget about rest, but I didn't know if it was something more serious. Please keep your life, desire it. This is what keeps us all in existence. And I think, you do it.
I support you, and I think, like probably everyone else, I want this to continue.
No no and no to this plundering disease!!!
I watched a documentary about a doctor who would not call it uncurable. His name is Dr. Burzynski and the movie is called Cancer is Big Business.
Here's to your healthy mind, body and spirit brother!
When I think about the next Symfony tutorial, I immediately hear your voice in my head.
It would be very hard to see him go, but I pray that that does not happen and hope he lives many many more years.
God bless him for all his teaching work and kindness.
