Our beloved Father, Son, Brother and Friend passed away unexpectedly Sat Jan 28, 2012
Son of Darrell and Chris Wendel, Brother to Michelle Siegismund (Otto) and Wendy Romero (Brian). Ryan married Angie Holmes and had two beautiful girls, Allie (9) and Lexi (7). Later divorced. Ryan was adored by nieces and nephews and his special sweetheart Chelsee. Loved by all his many Friends who were always there for each other which we are so grateful for.
Ryan worked as an electrician with his father (Wendel Electric). He loved to golf, boat, ride his Motorcycle and go four wheeling at the sand dunes. Most of all he loved being with his two sweet girls!
We all loved our Ryan (Ryno) so very much and will miss him everyday until we meet again.

I know the pain of Ryans passing will never go away. But we have our memories to keep him alive in our hearts forever, and they will always bring us joy. I love you all. I hope you will be able to find peace knowing that he is in the arms of our Lord, and in the company of the love ones that were waiting for him.

Ryan plays such a major role in the memories of my youth. Riding bikes, snowball fights, trampolines, and so much more.
I can't think Scouts withouth thinking of Ryan and his endless practical jokes and dares.
I'm so greatful that Ryan, through my memories, will continue to live on.

To the Wendel family,
Mike and I are so saddened about the loss of Ryan.
The memories that our family has of Ryan are so special. Our family enjoyed his playfulness and oh man could he tease! We loved watching him play softball especially him hitting the ball out of the park. Ryan was always on the winning team at our family golf tournaments. Thank you for sharing your son with our family, we all have a special place in our hearts for Ryan. We love you all. Mike and Kris

Words cannot express the sadness my heart feels. Ryno was larger than life and lived each day to the fullest with NO regrets! He always had a laugh and a smile to share even if I did not feel like smiling. The twinkle in his eyes, his contagious smile and joking manner got me every time!
To his Daughters, Parents and Family thanks for sharing him with us! My deepest sympathy to all of you!
Forever in our hearts, til we meet again! Love ya Ryno
