Ryan Priest Obituary
Born on December 14, 1975, in Canton, Ohio, Ryan lived a life defined by compassion, generosity, and dedication to those he loved. He was kind, funny, and incredibly warm-a man who poured his heart into everything he did. Above all, Ryan adored his family and took immense pride in his son, Wyatt, who was his greatest joy.
Ryan was passionate about his work and approached every endeavor with dedication. He loved skiing, cherished time with his loved ones, and was a die-hard fan of THE Ohio State Buckeyes. Ryan left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
Ryan is survived by his beloved son, Wyatt; wife, Jennifer; parents, Jane and Ron; and brother, Kevin. They, along with countless friends and family, will continue to honor his memory and the beautiful life he lived.
A funeral service will be held on March 3rd, 2025, at 5:00 PM at St. Simon Catholic Church. Family and friends are invited to gather in celebration of Ryan's life and legacy.
Though Ryan is no longer with us, his love, laughter, and spirit will remain forever in our hearts.
We love you for eternity.

Jane, Ron and Family,
Like so many, we are saddened by your loss and our hearts are hurting for you.
I remember Ryan´s great smile and humor...mostly in our kitchen when the kids would show up about 11 pm. to raid our refrig...and of course I would have to come down and join in the fun! Ryan was such a fun guy and I know you´ll all miss him dearly.
Praying for you all as your hearts heal,
Terry and Joyce Nolan

I haven´t seen Ryan in over 20 years, but he definitely left a lasting impression. He was an artist in many ways. Art, music (I can´t listen to Back to the Earth without seeing him strumming his guitar). But most importantly, to quote Barnum, "the noblest art is that of making others happy". He had a gift for making others happy! He will be missed!
