Ryan Lee Hopkins (Hop), 18 years of age, our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend went to be with our Lord and Savior, Monday, August 8, 2022, at John Peter Smith Hospital in Ft. Worth, Texas surrounded by his loved ones. He was dearly loved by his family and friends. He will be greatly missed. We were blessed with the time that we had together.
Ryan was the most caring, loving and happy young man you’ve ever met. His smile was contagious. He was one of those truly rare personalities. You could describe him as magnetic. He would just draw you into anything he had to say. Everything he did was 110%, and this was certainly true of sports. Ryan attended Cross Plains High School. He participated in football, basketball, and track. He loved to run fast.
