Ryan Mone(1980-1998)

The explanation of the dedication at the end of the film 'There's Something about Mary' is that Ryan Mone was a young hockey player from Martha's Vineyard, who died in a car accident at the age of just seventeen in 1998 . The Farrelly brothers are long-term friends of the Mone family and chose to dedicate their film to Ryan as their tribute to his memory.
