RYAN LAHIFF Obituary

LAHIFF, Ryan David Of Dedham, July 18, 2020. Deeply loved son of Paul David Lahiff and Kristyn MacLellan Lahiff and brother of Timothy Michael Lahiff. Loving grandson of the late Michael and Catherine Lahiff and the late David and Carolyn MacLellan. Also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins. Ryan grew up in Dedham and loved playing basketball and baseball and hanging out with his many friends. He was a 2019 graduate of Catholic Memorial School where he was on the football team all four years and was currently enrolled at Sacred Heart University.  Ryan was a special gift to us for nineteen years and will be missed more than words can say. He helped anyone and everyone and always put others before himself. In lieu of flowers and donations, please follow in Ryan's footsteps and commit a random act of kindness and hug someone and tell them you love them. Rest in peace my sweet baby.

As Ryan's teacher I found him to be quiet, humble and confident and always with a smile along with his signature thumbs at his side as he entered my class. He was opinionated in class discussions and productive. When I left teaching I was able to speak with Ryan for a few minutes while he was injured on the sideline in the Fall. We talked about coming back from injury hungrier and he nodded with a yah. He was passionate about his team. I am happy I stopped to converse with him because I could have looked the other way and rushed off with my son. I was blessed to have your son in my presence and I will continue to pause, converse and try to impact the lives of others in his name. He will always be present in my thoughts.
