Ryan Thompson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kerr Brothers Funeral Home - Harrodsburg Road on Aug. 27, 2025.
Ryan was a son, grandson, brother, and friend who made people feel seen, valued, and cared for. He had a quick wit and a smile that could disarm you in an instant. He gave generously of his time and his heart, whether that meant helping someone move, listening to a late-night phone call, or simply showing up when he was needed most. Ryan was a natural athlete-driven, graceful, and resilient. Whether on the field, in the gym, or in a friendly pickup game, he brought the same intensity and joy that drew people to him in every walk of life. Those who loved Ryan will remember his laughter, his determination, his curiosity, and his unwavering belief that life was meant to be more than just going through the motions. His journey was one of growth, discovery, and ultimately, peace.

Ryan had a heart of gold. He was the kind of person who would give without ever expecting anything in return. I´ll always remember the way he made people feel seen-whether it was with a simple smile, a kind word at the right moment, or showing up when you needed him most. His warmth was steady and real, and you couldn´t help but feel lighter just being around him. To know Ryan was to know someone who truly cared, and that´s a gift I´ll carry with me forever.
