Ryan attended Terre Haute South High School and graduated from Terre Haute North. He worked at Honey Creek Collision for nearly 7 years where he enjoyed the camaraderie of the team and always felt like he was part of the family. He loved the Lord. Ryan enjoyed rock and roll music and was skilled at playing the guitar. He liked to relax by playing video games and watching professional wrestling. Ryan also enjoyed animals. In nature, he was always looking up for an American Bald Eagle sighting. At home, he had a passion for his huge tank of colorful fish, always redecorating and changing the theme of it monthly, for both their enjoyment and enrichment and his. Most of all, he cherished his beloved little dog, Moochie, who was a devoted companion to him and was alongside him to the very end.
