With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we gather to remember and honor the life of Ryan Kearns, a remarkable soul whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and strength to everyone around him. Ryan’s sudden passing has left an unimaginable emptiness in the hearts of his family, friends, and community, but his memory continues to shine as a beacon of love, kindness, and unwavering strength.
Ryan was not just someone people admired — he was someone people leaned on. He had a rare ability to listen without judgment, speak with sincerity, and show up for others without ever being asked. His humility and authenticity made him a steady source of comfort and joy in the lives of those lucky enough to know him.
Whether it was through a warm smile, a perfectly timed joke, or a quiet act of kindness, Ryan had an innate gift for making others feel seen and valued. He never sought the spotlight but instead found purpose in lifting others up. Friends remember him as “the glue that held us together,” and “the one you could always count on.” His laughter, deep and contagious, could fill a room, and his spirit left an imprint that can never be erased.
Ryan’s life was a beautiful example of resilience and compassion. He faced challenges with grace and strength, never allowing hardship to harden his heart. He inspired others not by grand gestures, but by showing up every single day with integrity, love, and generosity. He made every moment meaningful and every connection sincere.
Outside of his relationships, Ryan had a passion for life that showed in everything he did. Whether spending time outdoors, helping a neighbor in need, cheering on his favorite sports teams, or simply enjoying quiet moments with his loved ones, he embraced life with gratitude and grace. He was the kind of friend who remembered birthdays, the kind of sibling who always picked up the phone, the kind of son who made his parents endlessly proud.
His loss is one that will be deeply felt across all corners of his life — in the silence of moments that used to be shared, in the stories that now end too soon, and in the hearts of everyone he loved.
In the days to come, family and friends will gather to celebrate Ryan’s life, to share stories and laughter, and to remember the incredible man he was. While we grieve the unbearable loss, we also give thanks for the privilege of having known him. Ryan’s legacy will live on in the kindness he showed, the lives he touched, and the love he gave so freely.
As we say goodbye far too soon, we hold tight to the truth that love does not end — it transforms. Ryan may no longer walk beside us, but his spirit lives on in the memories we cherish, the lessons he taught us, and the strength he left behind.
Rest in peace, dear Ryan Kearns. You were one of a kind, and you will be missed beyond measure.
