Ryan N. Copeland, of Raynham, formerly of Pembroke, passed away on May 7, 2025 at South Shore Hospital, surrounded by family. He was 46 years old. Ryan was raised in Pembroke and graduated from Silver Lake High School class of 1997. He worked for Glynn Tree and Save A Tree in Hanover for well over 20 years and went on to work at JB Hunt as a CDL driver. Ryan was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. He had a passion for country music and never skipped the opportunity to enjoy a concert. He took great pride in his home and could often be found landscaping his yard to perfection. At the family vacation home in Onawa, Maine he was able to pursue his hobbies of hiking, fishing and being outdoors. A source of joy for Ryan was watching trains go by, always marveling at them.
