National EMS Memorial Service Honoree

	Ryan Marshall Duke Eagle Med Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

People in the pre-hospital industry love what they do. Why else would they do it? When Ryan took a flight nurse position with EagleMed, he quickly found that he, too, loved being in the pre-hospital field. Ryan did not start his health care career in helicopters. He was a well-respected nurse who worked in the PICU of Children's Hospital and in the ER of Oklahoma University Medical Center with many years of experience.

Ryan attended the University of Central Oklahoma where he received a Bachelor of Science degree. He was a loving husband to his wife, Melissa, and proud father to his sons, Cole and Hudson. He made friends wherever he went. A friend lamented that "Ryan was one of those people that you could meet for 30 seconds and you had a friend for life."

On the evening of Thursday, July 22 while en route to Okeene to pick up a patient, EagleMed 7 crashed in a secluded area outside of Kingfisher, OK. Ryan and pilot Allan Dale Harrison were killed in the crash. A third crewmember survived the crash.
