He was an EMT at Leavenworth County EMS, and eventually took over the family business at Gutter Works LLC.

He and Fran Gibson welcomed their beautiful daughter into this world on December 20, 2008.

Ryan was a devoted father and strived to show his daughter every day that she was the most important person in his life. He was an avid fisherman and loved the water. He loved all sports but especially loved watching the KU Jayhawks and The Kansas City Chiefs.

His smile lit up a room and was always able to find the silver lining in any situation. He was upbeat, funny and a person that everyone always wanted to be around. He was a loyal Father, Brother, Son, and friend. He will be deeply missed and his memory will always live.

"So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart. For every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart."
