Ryan Nelson
We are heartbroken.
Ryan is gone from this life.
His thirty years here were brimming with adventure as he was never afraid to try new things. He lived large on both coasts and many places in between. His two favorite escapes were the ocean and the sky—he was happiest surfing and skydiving.
Ryan enjoyed skiing, golf, football and basketball. He liked to have fun. He was also a hard worker who strived to do his best on any job he took. He liked movies and acted in a few. Look for him next summer in “John Carter.”
Ryan had the heart of a lion and the soul of a poet. He loved to play with his nieces and nephews—to them he was truly “Uncle Awesome.” He would do anything to help a member of his family, and often did.
We love him. We miss him. He leaves behind a family that is grateful to have shared life with him.

That is a beautiful obituary, Jenna.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I didn't write it. Eric did. I probably should have posted that. But I can take credit. :)
