Ryan’s life ended suddenly and tragically but his memory will never be forgotten. Ryan was a proud member of  Local 21 Tile Finshers Union of Chicago and was a hardworking, skilled Tile and Stone Mason who worked on major construction projects  throughout the area.  But what Ryan loved the most was spending time with his family and following his favorite band Phish on tour. Ryan and Michelle had a special bond over their love for phish. One of Ryan‘s favorite memories in the recent years was a family trip to Disney World that he was so proud of. He loved Disney and planned to go back next year with the family.  Ryan had a wonderful spirit and a great sense of humor, touched many people throughout his life and was taken from us much too soon, but his memory and spirit will be carried on with everyone that knew him.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life on Saturday, July 13th with a Memorial Service from 11:00am to 3:00pm at Castle Hill Funeral Home:1219 Sheffield Avenue, Dyer, Indiana 46311.
