Danny Paul Ryan

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Danny Paul Ryan, who left this world on December 24, 2025, at the age of 52. Born on March 20, 1973, Danny was raised in the beautiful Lake Country area of Wisconsin, by his loving parents, Thomas and Linda Ryan.

Danny thrived as a Shop Foreman in the fire protection industry, where his talents and knowledge made a significant impact. His prior experiences at Harley Davidson also shaped his career, and he was known for his strong work ethic.

Danny's professional life was marked by dedication, but it was his roles outside of work that truly defined him. He was a passionate coach for both Ixonia Youth Baseball and Oconomowoc Youth Football, where he inspired and nurtured the talents of countless young athletes.

Danny found great enjoyment in hunting, ice fishing, and ATVing, often sharing these passions with his family and friends. He loved spending time helping with projects, diving into DIY adventures and the many moments spent at the family cabin in Tomahawk alongside his dad and brother.

Danny is survived by his two sons Brandon and Brady; his brother Donny (Carrie); nephew Cameran; along with many other loving family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents.

A memorial gathering to celebrate Danny’s life will take place on Sunday, January 11, 2026 from 12 PM to 2 PM at Pagenkopf Funeral Home (located at 2228 N. Silver Maple Lane, Oconomowoc, WI 53066) where family and friends are invited to share their stories and memories with each other.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes memorial contributions to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) or directly to the family to support them during this time.
