Ryan Daniel Sims
January 8, 2009 ~ March 8, 2025
Age 16
Ryan was a blessing from heaven. His unconditional love had a profound impact on everyone he met. Some of his greatest joys in life were spending time with his family, listening to his favorite music, birthday parties, and cake. Above everything else in life, he loved people. He didn’t really have a favorite toy or blanket, a favorite shirt or game, but he loved being around people. From his years in daycare with Ms. Shelley to his time at Two Springs Elementary, he loved everyone he met. Saint, angel, innocent, smiles, empathy, love, and pure are the words used the most often when people talk about Ryan – and every single one of them describes him perfectly.
Preceded in death by his grandfather Daniel Sims.
Survived by his parents Garrett and Kristine Sims; brothers Charlie and Joe; grandparents Carol and Chuck Paskach, Mary Jean Sims; many aunts, uncles and cousins.

We had the honor and privilege to be Ryan’s God Parents. We only had a short 16 years together, but he always filled our hearts with love and joy, at each visit. Through Ryan’s happy personality, smiles and laughter, he made a lasting impression on everyone he came in contact with, during his precious time. Fly high sweet Angel Ryan! We will always carry you in our hearts!💞
Love, Uncle Ray and Aunt Kathy
