Share your Memorial with Family & Friends Ryan Matthew "Courtney" Bittinger, dearly loved father, brother, son and friend, reached the end of his life's journey on March 20, 2025.Ryan was a loving, gentle, good and kind man and was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by love, compassion and unwavering faith in God. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family and friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him. He was ultimately unable to realize the life and happiness he sought and deserved. We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way he lived, and for the profound impact he had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.Ryan found joy in long bike rides, spending time at the beach, and expressing his creativity through his art.Ryan is survived by his mother, Elaine, his children, Kaiden and Kennedy, his sister, Erinn (Bill), his nephew, Brendan, and step-mother Lyn. He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry Bittinger.
A celebration of Ryan's life will take place on Friday, April 4 at 9:00am at Cherie Down Park 8330 Ridgewood Ave, Cape Canaveral.
