Ryan Mellen Obituary
Ryan is survived by his beloved wife Amanda (Nee McGrath) Mellen; children, Andrew, Brandon, Collin, and Allie; siblings, Nicole (Josh) Gage and Lauren Mellen; parents, Keith (Maura) Mellen and Colleen Mellen; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was a quick witted person who loved making others smile. He recently found a love for cooking and his family loved everything he made. In his free time he enjoyed woodworking. He was also loved by everyone that he worked with over the years. But most of all, he was a loving and caring father, and he took his biggest pride in his wonderful family. He will be missed by all that knew him.
Services for Ryan will be held on Saturday, March 18th, 2023 with a Memorial Visitation at Kurtz Memorial Chapel, 102 E. Francis Road, in New Lenox from 12pm until the time of the service at 4pm.
