A few days after Muhammad Ali’s death on June 3, 2016, his daughter posted what is believed to be the last photo taken of him while he was alive. Ali retired from boxing in 1981, and in 1984 was diagnosed with Parkinson’s syndrome, which his doctors believed to be the result of the many blows to the head he took while fighting. He was hospitalized on June 2, 2016, because of a respiratory illness. Although Ali’s condition was listed as “fair,” he would die the following day.

Ryan Tofil's experience on The Western Journal goes back to 2014 when he was an intern for the non-profit Western Center for Journalism. In 2015, he became the director of Liftable.com, and soon its sister website ThoughtfulWomen.org. These websites eventually combined and became one of the most popular lifestyle websites in the world, at one point being ranked inside the top 200 websites in America by Alexa.com. Liftable.com lives on today as a section of The Western Journal. Since 2018, Ryan has been involved with PatriotDepot.com, the exclusive provider of The Western Journal merchandise and other essential patriotic products, moving to the site full-time in early 2019.

Outside of work, Ryan loves to play chess, sports, and video games; usually while smoking a cigar. He is a proud bird-owner and aquarium aficionado, and always jokes about needing concealed carry permits for his fists, despite only having been in one fight in his life and losing quite badly. His claim to fame is having possibly been the worst NCAA baseball player in the country, riding the bench for a DIII team that went 3-31. He loved every second of it.
