Ryan Nolte Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ryan W. Nolte, age 55, of Dry Ridge, Kentucky, who departed from this world on Monday, May 19, 2025. Ryan was born in Mariemont, Ohio, on April 30, 1970, to Robert and Kathleen Nolte (nee Keefer).

Ryan learned construction at an early age, from his father and passed these skills down to his kids and grandkids. He loved working with his hands and was always looking for his next project. Ryan deeply loved fishing, good food, and Bengals game day, especially with his family. He also loved watching the Reds games with his mom Kathy and cuddling up with his fat cat (Fat Cat). He never met a stranger, striking up a conversation with just about anyone and could brighten the room with his infectious laugh. He was likely the most dedicated pick 3 player and every once in a while, won pretty big.

Ryan was preceded in death by his father, Robert Nolte. He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Kathleen Nolte, and by his cherished family, including his daughters, Brittany (Justin Cahill) Gibson, Jessica (Scott) Chase, Morgan (Ricardo Lopez) Nolte, and son, Ryan (Stacie Sellars) Nolte, II, along with his son, Riley (Chasity Grueter) Nolte. His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Cooper Cahill, Cecelia Cahill, Cameron Chase, and Remington Nolte. Additionally, Ryan is survived by his sister, Nikki (Tom) Biddle, as well as many other family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
