Dear Friends and Family of Tami and Ryan:

We are saddened to share that Ryan passed on 1/27/23. At this time, please continue to keep Tami, their son and Ryan's family in your thoughts and prayers. Memorial service information TBD at a later date. Thank you for your continued generosity.

Ryan was described by his friends as the happiest guy you would ever meet. On his social media he defined himself as a geek, father and husband. On Sunday morning, January 22nd, he was found by his wife, Tamara, and paramedics were called. It was later determined that he had a major stroke that caused bleeding in his brain.

His life was filled with joy. He was an avid chess player, Disneyland fanatic and festival goer. He was an absolute pleasure to know. 

Please consider donating towards medical costs. Remaining funds will be used for upcoming funeral costs and their child’s education. 

Thank you!
