Ryan Hooks Obituary
Ryan was a son, brother, and friend to the old and young alike.
He was born to Nury Benedetti-Hooks and Randell L. Hooks on July 15, 1993 in Barranquilla, Colombia. Ryan was a few months old when he, his parents and big brother Dustin moved to Arizona.
Ryan was preceded in death by his mother, Nury Benedetti Hooks.
Survived by father, Randell L. Hooks; stepmom, Stacey G. Hooks; brother, Dustin L. Hooks; sister, Kylee G. Boyd; and several aunts and uncles. He was employed at M&J Electric Co. as an electrician. Ryan loved making people laugh, usually resulting from his use of wacky voices, stunts, and crazy facial expressions. He was an avid hover and skate boarder, enjoyed motorcycles and muscle cars. Ryan had been attending the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in an effort to strengthen his relationship with God at the time of his passing.
A memorial service will be held at 3:00 pm on Friday, November 25, 2022, at Downing & Lahey East Mortuary, 6555 E Central.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Derby Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1213 S. Rock Rd, Derby KS 67037.
