After graduating from Celina High School in 1997, Ryan went on to receive an associates degree in photography from OIPT in Dayton in 2000. Ryan worked as a senior sales manager for ten years at Curbell Plastics Inc. in Arlington, Texas.

Ryan loved coaching his son Micah in hockey and enjoyed anything hockey related as well as time he spent fishing. He was a true people person, he enjoyed going to work daily and was known for loving his job. Ryan created a family both at work and in his experiences with his son through hockey. Most important to Ryan was being a dad, he was a great father; he was a constant source of encouragement to his kids and an inspiration. He provided his kids with joy and laughter and taught them the value of hard work, dedication, and integrity. Ryan’s joy of life extended beyond his immediate family, it included his work family and hockey family. He provided strength and guidance to others, offering a helping hand and an open heart to anyone in need; his kindness touched the lives of many. He truly loved his family, all the wonderful friends he made throughout the years, his work family and his hockey family and he will be missed deeply by them all.
