Ryan Fite Obituary
Ryan was born in Wichita Falls, TX on August 14th, 2001. Before his first year, he and his father, James moved to Big Spring, TX to be closer to family. Later in life, his father would introduce him to Amanda, who he would eventually refer to as "my mom" to people. Ryan also met 3-year-old Alyssa who would latch onto him as his little sister. James and Amanda married, and a family of 4 was formed.
He attended Big Spring High where band was life. He played percussion and loved everything about it. He graduated in 2019, and even after high school, would go to any and everything where he could watch his successors in band play.
Ryan had several families besides James, Amanda, and Alyssa. He was welcomed in many of his friend's homes, where he would take off to for sometimes days. No one worried because he was always with "family" no matter where he was. Ryan had no problem saying, "I love you" and following through by showing that love. If he knew you, then you were genuinely cared about. Everything about Ryan… his heart, his impact, his reach… is infinite. Because of that, Ryan will not be forgotten. Instead, he will be forever.
Survivors include his parents, James and Amanda Fite; his sister Alyssa Wellner; a brother Matthew Carrasco; grandparents Don and Ann Fite, Lisa Kennedy, Edward Carrasco; and many other loving family members and even more friends.
Ryan was preceded in death by his birth mother, Brianne Carrasco.

Ryan is an absolutely amazing soul. He was always the most open and true person that he could be, and he brought that out in every person who's heart he gracefully touched. He would do the most insane and out of the way things for all of his friends. I can't count how many times he brought 30 gallon trash bags full of popcorn to share with everyone. He shared memes with anyone willing to look, Rick rolled every person who ever knew him, and made even the worst days amazing ones. He truly was and is the best person I have ever known, and he brought out the best person in every soul he met. Rest in peace, spoon king.

Ryan was a really great friend. I hung out with him a lot and he almost always avoided leaving for as long as possible. I would start to mention leaving and suddenly another conversation would start up leaving us chatting for hours. It was always just so hard to say goodbye. What an honor it was for him to want to hang out with me for so long. He never hesitated to invite me to his house on multiple occasions and always sent pictures of his dogs and cats when I was down. He gave wonderful gifts that honestly made me feel so loved. He even bought me a lightsaber which is amazing because they’re so expensive. He really spent that much money on me! I couldn’t thank him enough. He also always reminded me when some special event was going on in Pokémon go which I might’ve missed otherwise. He was also an amazing coworker and honestly the theatre wasn’t near as much fun to work at without him. He was goofy and funny and always made me laugh. He even “initiated” me by making me eat popcorn completely drenched in salt. It was absolutely hilarious. He was just such an amazing friend and I’m going to miss him dearly. He was truly one of a kind. I could go on and on with stories about his kindness or humor, and I’m going to hold onto those memories forever.
