Ryan Britagna Obituary

Waterford - Ryan Dante Britagna passed away tragically in a boating accident Sept. 2, 2024. He was born in New London, March 25, 2000, to Gary Britagna and Jessica Britagna-Coale.

Ryan graduated from East Lyme High School in 2018. More recently, he resided with his longtime girlfriend Samantha Jarry in Waterford. After high school, Ryan began working with his father in the construction industry, J&R Contracting LLC out of Waterford.

Ryan loved his family, girlfriend, and friends more than anything. He was a connector, who loved to bring people together with his big smile, larger-than-life personality and his humor that would make anyone laugh. He treated everyone with respect and always sought to bring out the best in those around him. Ryan had a love and passion for being outdoors, dirt biking, his trucks, fishing, boating, golfing, and traveling with his family, friends, and girlfriend.

At the young age of twenty-four, his sudden passing has left an irreplaceable void in our hearts, but he has taught us all many life lessons about being an all-around good person. He was the type of guy who would do anything for his family and friends.

Ryan is survived by his father Gary Britagna and mother Jessica Britagna Coale. He is also survived by his sister, Jennifer Pazzaglia and her husband Dave Pazzaglia; brothers, LJ Coale and Easton Coale; nieces, Eva Pazzaglia and Romi Pazzaglia; and the love of his life Samantha Jarry; as well as numerous other family members and countless friends.

A memorial tribute and celebration of life for his family and friends will be held at 4 p.m. Sept. 24, 2024, at Great Neck Country Club Langley's Restaurant, 28 Lamphere Road, Waterford.
