Dave was born in Nashua, New Hampshire on September 12, 1948, and was the son of the late James and Tina (Marion) Ryan. He attended schools in the Nashua School System and was a graduate of Nashua High School.
Dave was a machinist at Sanders Associates/BAE for 38 years until his retirement. He also took pride in remodeling and caring for his three rental properties in Nashua, NH.

He had many interests from coin collecting to photography and in his younger years, he thoroughly enjoyed coaching Nashua North Little League Baseball for 12 years. Above all, his most cherished time was spent with his family who he loved deeply.

His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Peyton Ryan, Nolan Ryan, and Ava Simone Durden. He also leaves behind his siblings, Daniel Ryan, Robert Ryan, Thomas Ryan, Agnes Sharpe, Virginia Aussant, Elizabeth Ryan, and Katherine Elke.
