I can barely remember my Uncle Johnny from when he visited our family when I was 5 years old (1994-1995) and my dad was stationed in San Diego to go to school for the Navy. We never lived in the United States after that year in San Diego and I spent the next 13 years overseas in Japan, but this didn't mean that my dad (William Ryan) never spoke of his eldest brother Johnny. Dad never failed to tell me about my Uncle Johnny's selflessness and caring nature. I could tell just in the way that my dad spoke of him that he was someone so influential in how my own father carried himself through life. I know the Ryan kids wouldn't be half the people they are today if it wasn't for their big brother and although I never had the pleasure of meeting him as an adult, I know I too was blessed to have him in my life. You will be missed, but never forgotten. Love you always.Sending my love and condolences, William-Joseph

John was the love of my life and my life partner. It is so very hard to imagine my life without him. He took care of me and we enjoyed 17 years of love and laughter. I was blessed to have him in my life. I can still see him walking up the steps to my door, smiling and ready to spend a peaceful weekend at "home". I have so many good memories of him, I will miss our drives through the country roads of Oklahoma and our endless conversations, But I know I will see him again when I leave this earth.

Today is the day that they lay my BROTHER Johnny to rest. His life was filled with sacrifice and success, as a Medic in the Army during Vietnam he served his country honorably and praised all that did the same. He sought out an education, venturing into a career path that started out with equipment that filled entire rooms and today can be held in the palm of your hand…then not knowing where this would lead him. The most obvious result are the two outstanding men that follow in his wake… Jeremy and Nathaniel both display their father's demeanor and love for their families, so that too I know bought joy to his life. Though this being only a brief outline of his life…there are volumes that we can all sit around and reminisce about. The fact will remain that he did love us all and he was loved by ALL !! This is the man that I tailored my life after and forcing myself to do my best for my FAMILY and all that I come in contact with. He will remain in our hearts and minds…NEVER to be forgotten. ~William Ryan

John was a founder of the Overturf Camp of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. A dedicated member and tireless worker, he loved the Sons. He wasn't at the last meeting and it felt lessened by his absence. We will have an empty chair at our future meetings. His incite, his dedication, his humor will be missed. Rest in peace, Brother Williams.Rex Griffin

I worked on the same team with John for over 16 years at St. John Medical Center. I enjoyed all the stories about his love for his 2 sons and all the pictures of his beautiful grandchildren as they grew through the years.But, John also had a work family and he cared for us as well. John found out my favorite dessert was lemon squares and every year on my birthday he brought me a dozen from Pettyâ??s Food in Utica Square. John was known for his chuck wagon cooking skills and he cooked over the open fire for a group of coworkers at deer camp for many years around Thanksgiving. His Settler beans recipe is legendary.I will miss Johnâ??s big smile and big heart. â?? Debbie Smith

I worked with John for over 16 years at St John Medical Center. We knew John was one of a kind when he baked a cake and brought it for his job interview. John enjoyed sharing his life with those around him. We heard many stories about his family, especially when he made a new genealogy discovery! It was evident how much he loved his sons and grandchildren and how proud he was to have served his country. I remember one Friday it was National Wear Red for womenâ??s heart disease awareness and many women at work were wearing red. I noticed John was also wearing a red shirt and I asked him if that was why he was wearing red. He told me that he wore his red shirt every Friday for Red Shirt Friday to support our servicemen and women. Without fail, every Friday I noticed him wearing his red shirt.
