Ryan was preceded in death by maternal & paternal grandparents, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. 

Ryan was raised in Eunice, New Mexico and graduated from Eunice High School in 2009. His favorite role was being a father to all of his children. Ryan also stepped into his role as stepfather and quickly formed an unbreakable bond. He was their number-one fan, always there to offer his love, support, and encouragement. He loved nothing more than attending their sporting events, dance recitals, and spending time with his beloved fiancé, Briana and the family that they built. His children will treasure those memories of him forever. Ryan only had a few years to spend with his family, but he made sure to make the most of that precious time. From always giving his brothers, parents, friends and coworkers a hard time to always offering a helping hand if they needed it. He made sure to prioritize family by spending his Sundays with his parents and children at his childhood home in Eunice, NM. He also spent many weeknights at his in-laws house eating dinner and cracking jokes about stealing her Princess pans. He was a die hard Yankees fan and religiously watched every game. He worked tirelessly in the oil and gas industry for over 15 years where he made many friends from coworkers and left them with so many stories to share that would make them laugh until they cried. While Ryan left us far too soon, the impact he had on our community will be felt for years to come. Despite spending much of his final time in and out of the hospital, he never lost his sense of humor and stubbornness. Throughout his entire journey, he continued to crack jokes and put a smile on everyone’s faces. He had a great ability to make others laugh and his sense of humor will be greatly missed.

Pallbearers will be Ramon Rios, Chris Rios, Javier Martinez, Julio Zubia, Daniel Sosa and Jose Garcia. Honorary Pallbearers: Cesar Rios,Jovanni Rios, Xaidenn Gonzales and Uriah Mendoza.

Services are under the direction of Calvary Funeral Home of Eunice, New Mexico.
