We will all miss his big heart and hugs that could swallow you up with arms a mile long.

Ryan is survived by his significant other Kara; their daughter, Oakleigh; his mom, Cindy Malone, who love and miss him beyond what words can describe; his daughter, Hadleigh; dad, Tom Malone and wife Roberta; Grandpa Paul; sisters, Ashley and Katie; and countless friends and other family members who will forever have a piece missing without him.

Ryan was born in South Bend, Indiana, and moved to Central Florida at age 3 with his mom. He stayed in the area for the remainder of his life. He grew to be 6'6' by age 13, and played football throughout his youth, at Pop Warner, Winter Park High School and for a period of time in college. While he was a force to be reckoned with on the field, his biggest love was being in the woods, catching anything that crawled, slithered, or swam by him and, in keeping with his fearless nature, he shared a love of motorcycles and cars with his sister Katie.

Ryan also had a love of figuring out how things worked. From an early age he would take things apart and not everything always got put back together the same as it came apart. Occasionally, he could find an object didn't need all the parts it was originally built with. As an adult he recently worked his way up to a floor manager in a machine shop as he never lost his love for the complexity of how things worked

We are planning to gather on March 4, 2023, at 1pm, at Becker Funeral Home, with friends and family to share stories and celebrate Ryan's life.

In lieu of flowers, they family requests contributions be made to the Go Fund Me account to help his daughter Oakleigh.
