Our little brother Gary James Ryan passed away on November 12, 2013 on Union Hill east of Redmond, WA. He was 54 years old.
Gary was born on January 11, 1959 at Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY, to parents Daniel & Josephine Ryan. He moved to Redmond in March 1968. He graduated from Redmond High School June 1977. After High School he enlisted in the US Air Force and was honorably discharged with disability in 1981. Later employments included the fishing industry in Alaska as well as Genie Lift and other industrial businesses in the Redmond area.
Gary was very kind and easy to get along with, he loved pets of all kinds and is deeply missed by his cat Strider; as well as his friends and family in the Seattle area!
He is survived by three siblings: Daniel Ryan II of Livingston, TX, Sharon Tompkins of Kerrville, TX, and Shawn Ryan of Lynnwood, WA.
He is preceded in death by his parents, and stepson Thomas.
At his request there will be no service. A celebration in remembrance of his life will be scheduled later for family and friends.
