Ryan McRoberts Obituary

Ryan E. McRoberts
1978 - 2018
Ryan E. McRoberts, 40, of Garden Valley, Idaho took his final speed-flying jump off Deer Mountain in Chelan, Washington on July 22, 2018. He is leaving behind his parents Rex McRoberts and Terry Spracklin McRoberts, brother Justin McRoberts, his best friend Emily Semler, other extended family, and many friends. Ryan will be joining his best friend Jason Bessey and other family and friends that have gone before him.
Ryan graduated from Eagle High School then joined the army in 1998 and was honorably discharged. He attended BSU, North Idaho College, and University of Idaho.
Ryan was passionate about adrenaline pumping sports from motocross to snow boarding in his younger years to speed flying and he found peace and relaxation in fishing. At his request there will be no formal funeral services.
