Ryan lost his battle with depression on October 20, 2019 and will forever be missed. He leaves behind his wife, Marley; children Addie, Grace, Charlie, and Thatcher; his parents, Terri and Rick; his sister, Stephanie; and his best fly fishing brother-in-law Sam.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Ryan was one of a kind. We were friends in high school and unfortunately lost touch. He always had a joke to tell and was so quick witted. Anytime Ryan was around, he had everyone laughing and smiling.
My heart goes out to Ryan's family and all those who knew him.

Ryan's spunky, go for it attitude, kept me laughing and on my toes as one of his fifth grade teachers at MCS. His sweet demeanor will be what I remember the most and his kind words shared when we happened to meet on the street in later years warmed my heart. Peace be with dear Ryan and the Abraham family. He will be remembered always.

We are holding you in our hearts as we remember our beloved Ryan here at Montana City School. He was a favorite of mine. We shared the same birthday. Ryan was the perfect balance of mischief, hard work, creativity and a tenderness for the feelings of others. It was a joy to watch him grow. Our love is with the beautiful Abraham family.

We had the pleasure of meeting Abe through my brother, Jeremy and my sister-in-law, Collin. Abe treated us like we had known each other forever. He always had us laughing. Abe was proud of his roots, full of stories, and always had my back especially when it came to ribbing Jeremy. My favorite memory of Abe though, is once while in Donnelly visiting, he took off without a word and came back with bait. He took our son, who was 6 then, down on the dock to fish. Thank you Abe, you were always a kid at heart. We will miss you. Marley, may you all focus on how Abe lived and loved. You all are in our prayers.

Ryan was one of a kind. Growing up with him in Montana City, all through grade school, firefighting, and many other adventures, I don't know if I ever met someone as tough and determined as he was. Ryan loved to laugh, and he loved to joke. He won't be forgotten.
Rick, Terri and Ryan's Family- my thoughts are with you all. I pray that you find peace in time. My thoughts are also with the Helena area firefighting community that had the privilege of working alongside Ryan. It was a sincere pleasure.
Rest easy brother.

Ryan was our daughter Kelly's classmate and our son Brian's friend. Not to mention our nephew Parker Eidum's classmate and friend. So we go way back. So very sad and sorry to you all. I knew for a long time he struggled. It's the pits and difficult for many to understand that struggle. Sometimes we just can't do enough. Warm thoughts and wishing you strength. Love the photo.
