Outside of social gatherings, he found pleasure in fishing, tending to gardens, and embracing the great outdoors. He was also an avid dog lover, finding solace and companionship in the company of his beloved pets.

Ryan is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Lesta Chavez; his siblings, Rick Reeves, and Rochelle (Jeff) Reinhard; eight nieces and nephews; and numerous great nieces and nephews. He leaves behind a circle of family and friends who will forever hold him close in their hearts.
