In Loving Memory of Ryan R. Preble

April 24, 1947 – January 8, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ryan R. Preble, a beloved resident of Fountain Hills, Arizona, who departed this life on January 8, 2024, at the age of 76. Born on April 24, 1947, in Livingston, Montana, Ryan lived a life defined by courage, adventure, and an unwavering zest for life.

A proud Vietnam Navy veteran, Ryan served his country with honor and dedication. Following his military service, he excelled in the business world, serving as Vice President of Marketing for a division of Harsco Corporation and later founding RRP Wealth Management. His professional achievements were matched by his personal passions, which reflected his adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors.

Ryan's life was one of exploration and discovery. From hunting in Montana to backpacking and rock climbing in the Rockies, he embraced the beauty of nature at every opportunity. An avid skier and mountain biker, Ryan's enthusiasm for outdoor pursuits was boundless. His journey into adventure began early when he earned the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout as a teenager in Montana, instilling values of leadership and service that he carried throughout his life.

Ryan's talents extended beyond his professional and outdoor endeavors. A gifted musician with a beautiful voice, he sang with the Navy Choir and performed a solo on the Red Skelton Christmas Special. His humor and warmth brought joy to those around him, making him a cherished presence among family, friends, and colleagues.

Above all, Ryan treasured his family. He is survived by his loving daughter, Aubrey Mancuso-Preble, her partner Norel Mancuso, niece Lynda Baker, grandnephews Blaine and Bryce Evans, and close companion Jacqueline Bloink. His deep faith in God provided strength and guidance throughout his life.

Ryan R. Preble leaves behind a legacy of courage, kindness, and a life well-lived. May his memory inspire us all to embrace life's adventures with passion and gratitude. Rest in peace, dear Ryan-you will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
