Ryan Carpenter Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cremation Society of Minnesota (First Memorial Funeral Chapel) - Saint Paul on Apr. 23, 2025.
Obituary of Ryan Alan Carpenter
Ryan Alan Carpenter, age 32, of St. Paul, passed away on April 15, 2025. He is survived by his parents, Shawn and Jeffrey Carpenter, siblings, Geralyn (Jamie), Jeffrey (Staci) Jr., Danielle, Michael (Kayla), and Nicholas, 9 nieces and nephews, grandmother, Sheila, as well as many other loving family and friends.
Ryan walked through life with music in his soul and courage in his heart. Born in Minnesota, he grew into a man whose quiet strength and gentle spirit touched all who knew him. He lived authentically, bravely embracing his truth, and his kindness left lasting ripples wherever he went.
Ryan's laughter was easy, his wit sharp, and his care for others endless. He loved deeply, played guitar with joy, and believed in making people feel truly seen. Though his time here was far too short, the beauty he shared – through music, humor, and love – will echo on forever.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 at 1:00pm at Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park.
