Ryan Neal Hanawalt

MANITOU BEACH - Ryan Neal Hanawalt, age 48 of Manitou Beach, passed away at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday, February 3, 2024, after a lengthy illness. He was born in Morenci on October 5, 1975, to the late John F. and Victoria J. (Woodby) Hanawalt. Ryan attended and graduated from Morenci High School; and on June 27, 1998, he married Angie Atkinson at Rollin Baptist Church, and she survives. He worked in the oil industry for Certarus on the Special Projects Team.
First and foremost, Ryan was a family man, spending any time he could with family. He was a lover of anything outdoors – whether it be camping, fishing, or hunting. He loved Michigan Wolverine football, and at Christmas time, would binge watch The Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation. Ryan was a hard worker and a very down to earth, simple man. He had a witty sense of humor and loved to make people laugh and smile. Ryan was a man that never met a stranger.
Surviving Ryan is his wife of 25 years, Angie; son, Chaise Hanawalt; daughter, Cadence Hanawalt; brother, Cody Hanawalt; brother-in-law, Jeremy (Liz) Bolenbaugh; sister-in-law, Ashley (Matt) Wilson; father and mother-in-law, Parke and Penny Atkinson; an aunt, Pamela Rump; cousin, Sherry (Steve) Miles; many nieces and nephews; and his dog, Marley. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ford Hanawalt and Caroline Schoonover and Frank and Phyllis Woodby; and an uncle, Larry Rump.
