Ryan LaRont Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ryan Neal LaRont
January 8th 1991 - October 13th 2024
Anyone who got the opportunity to meet Ryan knew his unwavering humor, his pure heart full of kindness and love. He was sensitive and sweet, the kind of man who would return a billion dollar bill to a stranger. Volunteering with his mom gave him a sense of purpose in the world. He made a friend everywhere he went. Either in school or out on a trail, he was the man who offered his hand in friendship to the people who inspired his soul.
As child he found peace in nature, spending most of his free time chopping down sticker bushes and stinging nettles to protect his sister as they navigated their path ahead. As a young man he enjoyed camping with his family. He loved fishing with his dad at the lake and learning to ski and wakeboard from his mom. He followed that passion through Boy Scouts, his schooling and through his work with the State Parks.
He found comfort in the company of his family, friends and fur babies. He loved being a part of the Hurricanes soccer team and carried that memory as he cheered on the Sounders with his loved ones. He found joy in his art and all things Pokémon and Disney. He loved costume parties and game nights with his friends where he was free to be the child at heart that was always calling to him.
Ryan was a deeply devoted loyal friend, son and brother. Forever young, he will be missed dearly.

Hi sweetheart,
It´s spring and I´m thinking of how excited you were about the season changing. A big laugh, a little smile, giggling all day! My god, your laugh was so fun. It´s warming up here my darling, I wish we could pick blackberries and talk about our big plans.
Love you forever,
Michelle

I met Ryan on the Hurricanes and I respected him the most out of the teammates. Didn't feel like he was one of the oedipus complex kids and he didn't troll me. One memory I have is when my dog Max got out and he was at PE at Kilo. We met right at the forest line and he exclaimed "Scott!? what are you doing here." I explained my dog got out and i was looking for him. It was a catholic holiday.

I just heard about this from Josh - I am so sorry to Rod, Cheryl and Audrey as well as those who had a connection with Ryan. My first memory of Ryan was when he joined our Tiger Den - Den 5. We made amazing memories together. As you can see from the second photo, Ryan was always a crack-up. He was quiet, but funny. There are no words that can provide comfort at a time as this, but I think back of the years we spent together in Scouts and smile at the memories created.

Never met someone Ryan couldn´t make laugh.
Hardly ever a time Ryan wouldn´t be laughing.
Such a genuine human and so great to know he still cherished our time on the Hurricanes as I´m sure the rest of the boys do too.

I was blessed to be chosen as Ryan and Audrey's daycare provider for the first 3 years of their lives Ryan was a beautiful, blue eyed, blond angel boy. He was so gentle and sweet. The McIntyre/LaRont friendship grew and we enjoyed many camping trips and parties together. My heart hurts for this lovely family in the loss of their precious boy.

Ryan was one of my best friends in 3rd grade. We would talk about scary movies like jaws at recess. He was always hilarious, kind, and genuine. So sorry to all his family.

I was bonded with Ryan since he was 3 months old and I was 6 months old in daycare at Evon's. We went to the same
Montessori school, experienced our first ever sleepover together, played soccer, played Pokémon, road quads in his backyard, played paintball, we were always paired together at Boy Scout summer camps, got our lifeguard merit badge, shooting merit badges(when our Boyscout leader needed to find us, he(Ray Condon) knew he could find us at the shooting range or swimming), we spent two weeks as boyscouts paired together at National Jamboree on the East Coast(the best two weeks). We both love Scooby-Doo, and we went to Bush Garden on the East Coast during the National Jamboree; we found a Scooby-Doo ride that we could shoot the bad guys with Lazor guns; we must have a road that Scooby-Doo ride 10 times. We learned to Snowboard together. Ryan was the best friend I could ask for. In life, life gets in the way of having fun with your friends. I remember each time life got in the way but the moment we could be with each other, that moment is forever in my memory. I remember the day Ryan moved back from Alabama and my first-grade teacher told me that I had a surprise waiting for me during recess(I don't know if I ever hugged someone so hard), I remember washing my parent's car at 12 years old and Ryan called the house phone and asked if I wanted to play on the Hurricane soccer team. We played soccer together until we were 18 years old. During my college years, we didn't talk much. But we found each other again with music festivals and our love for each other. I remember being so proud to introduce Ryan to my new friend group, everyone loved Ryan in a heartbeat. It was What The Festival 2015, Ryan and Audrey arrived and so did the best What The Festival ever, and it was the last the What The Festival. I remember everyone saying Ryan and Audrey were the new favorite friends! It was beautiful seeing all the friends show Ryan and Audrey love. I visited Ryan a couple of times at the State parks during his shifts, he loved that career, he did what he loved, and I always admired him for doing what he loved and protecting the parks. I loved listening to Ryan talk, he was so wise beyond his years! I will live my life from this moment on and when I don't know what to do, I will ask Ryan if he can give me guidance. What would Ryan do!

Ryan was a very special friend to many people over his life and I am thankful to have counted him as my closest friend for two decades. Innumerable nights were spent between our houses gaming far into the night, watching soccer games, or reruns of our favorite movies.
Ryan could make me laugh the hardest of anyone I know. He was able to see the humor in the mundane, the silliness in the serious, and lightness in the heavy.
What marked Ryan´s life was the love he had for those closest to him, he would do anything to help out his friends and family.
He was thoughtful, kind, and gentle which brought me comfort in a world that can be so indifferent, cruel, and harsh.
My life and many others are now dimmer for having lost the joy that Ryan brought into our lives and that light that he had will be sorely missed for many, many years to come.
I love you Ryan, I miss you, and you will always hold a place in my heart.

Ryan and I went to senior prom together. We grew up in the same town of Auburn together since the 4th grade, when we were in school together! He was a sweet, kind friend through many years. I remember 6th grade camp Thunderbird with our class, going hiking.. lots of memories of being carefree!! We graduated high school together. I will always remember his goofy personality, friend to all, and always laughing as a kid and teen. I am saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to the family. I am so sorry for the loss of a son, brother and friend. Prayers to his family and loved ones.
Hugs, Marina Zurcher
