Ryan was the owner of a deck and construction business, Phoenix Designs Incorporated, which he started in 2019. He built custom decks, porches and did other carpentry projects. He loved his job and it showed in the quality of his work. He was an avid fisherman who would get up at 4:00 am in search of the perfect fish. But more than anything, he loved his family and being a father. One could see the joy in his eyes whenever he spoke about spending time with the ones he loved.
In lieu of flowers, the family has set up a GoFundMe page to assist his wife and daughters with household expenses and medical costs. Donations may be made at https://gofund.me/ea1ddc8b.
We will all miss Ryan’s infectious smile, laugh and bear hugs. He was in the prime of his life and the shock of his death has been so difficult. However, we know that he is now with the Lord, his father and other loved ones in heaven. May he find peace and solace knowing that he will forever be in our hearts and thoughts.
