Ryan P. O'Connor, born March 28, 1987, peacefully departed this world on June 20, 2024. Ryan was a cherished husband, father, brother, and son, deeply loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His vibrant spirit and larger-than-life personality left an indelible mark on everyone he met.
Ryan's greatest joys were found in the outdoors, where he pursued his passions for hunting and fishing with unmatched enthusiasm. He had an endless repertoire of stories, especially from his adventures at the Ranch with his close friends Michael and Ricky. His laughter and camaraderie were infectious, making him the heart of any gathering.
However, amidst all his adventures, Ryan found his truest love in Kylie and their son Keegan. His devotion to them was unwavering, and he treasured every moment spent with his family. Ryan and Kylie shared a bond that was evident to all who saw them together, a love that grew stronger with each passing day.
Despite facing a challenging illness, Ryan's spirit remained resilient, battling with courage and strength, buoyed by the joy and laughter of his beloved son Keegan. Their bond was a source of constant happiness for Ryan, even on his toughest days, as Keegan's presence never failed to bring a smile to his face.
Ryan is survived by his wife Kylie (Heath) O'Connor, son Keegan Ryan O'Connor, parents John O'Connor and wife Cindy, Lisa Harrison and husband Aaron, sisters Meghan Mary O'Connor and Katelyn Elizabeth Smith (Justin), nephew Bennett, brothers Brandon Johnston, Peyton Harrison, sister Brittany Johnston, grandparents John and Mary Stockholm, Jim and Marilee Piot, Loren and Barbara Kremer, Uncle Jay
Stockholm, Aunts Stacy Stockholm, and Kathleen O'Connor. He was blessed to be loved and supported by more family and friends than could ever be listed.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents Janet O'Bresly, and John O'Connor.
Ryan leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to have known him. In our hearts, Ryan's spirit will forever live on, a testament to a life well-lived, and a love that endures beyond measure.
