Ryan Beachy Obituary
Ryan accepted Jesus as his Savior when he was a child and lived out his faith by loving and serving God and others. He enjoyed life to its fullest. He will be remembered for his contagious smile, generosity, spontaneity, laidback personality and humor. Ryan was always a joy to be with and enriched the lives of everyone who knew him. He loved to work. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding his snowmachine and motorcycle, playing hockey, climbing mountains and spending time with his family and friends.
He is survived by a very special young lady, his girlfriend Tracy Bushnell of Bird Creek; parents, Marlin and Sharon Beachy of Ohio; sisters, Melissa Schroeder and Rachel Beachy and brother-in-law Jamie Schroeder of Anchorage; grandparents, David Lee of Indiana, Andrew and Nettie Beachy of Ohio; uncles Brian (Lori) Lee, Dan (Sandy) Lee of Glacier View, Galen (Winnie) Beachy, Keith (Amanda) Beachy of Ohio and aunt Celesta (Dennis) Richardson of Anchorage. Ryan is also survived by 14 first cousins in Alaska and Ohio.
Ryan was preceded in death by his grandmother, Margaret Lee.
A memorial service and celebration of life will be held at Glacierview Bible Church, Mile 99 Glenn Highway on Sunday, June 23 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Glacierview Bible Church with a memo "Ryan Beachy Memorial". The church address is 35455 West Glenn Highway, Sutton, AK 99674.

I worked with Tracy and have heard of Ryan many times. Her face lit up when she spoke of him. I know he played a very important role in her life. I never got the chance to meet him, but one day when we all return home I will have the chance to. God be with your family. I know he will be missed by many. Tracy has a new guardian angel to watch over her as she heals. You will always be in her heart. Rest in peace Ryan.

I remember hearing about Ryan from my daughter after a missions trip to Mexico. He was known as one of the Alaska Boys! He was a special guy. My heart aches for you and you will be in our prayers.

I am so sorry for tragic loss of Ryan. Please be comforted by the fact that God cares.. He says "I have heard your prayers, I have seen your tears" 2 Kings 20:5.

Sharon and Marlon,
My deepest condolences to you and the rest of your family. My fiancé and I were the first to arrive at the scene. My thoughts and prayers have been with you since. In times like these, words fail, but I pray that God will comfort you during this difficult time and may you take refuge in His word and knowing that Ryan is in paradise with our lord and savior. "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28

My greatest condolences go out to friends and family of Ryan. I know Tracy, and from the way her face lit up when she talked about him speaks volumes of the man he must have been. You are all in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.

Marlin, Sharon and the rest of your great family-we were so sad to hear of Ryan's accident this past week. We did not know Ryan well as we were only in Alaska for 2 years, but his smile always caught our attention when we saw him-so very contagious!! The picture you have on here is such a true picture of that smile!! You will all be in our thoughts and prayers!!
