Edwin James "EJ" Ryan

Edwin James Ryan (EJ) born March 15, 1962 (60) of North Kingstown, RI passed away unexpectedly at home on November 02, 2022. He was a father, brother, uncle, Realtor, Real Estate Appraiser, former owner of Ryan's Market, clambake master, butcher, and movie connoisseur. He always got the last laugh and the last word when necessary. He loved spending time with his enormous family and had a strict open door policy for any and all who came to the Lafayette residence. If you knew EJ, you would know how much he adored his two daughters Margret E. Ryan and Caroline G. Ryan. His siblings Michael Ryan, Mary Sherman (Ryan), P. Hope Ryan, Kathryn Ryan, and his heavenly sister Pamela Bartlett (Ryan), and many nieces, nephews, and cousins whom he loved. He is preceded by both of his parents David Ryan and Alice Dolega Ryan whom he referenced, respected, and revered for the entirety of his life. We will always have a soft spot in our hearts for this gentle giant and we would like everyone to remember EJ for all of the joyous, caring, and humorous things he did throughout his time on earth.
"Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in a time of sorrow." – Robert Louis Stevenson
