Ryan Collin Ward

Ryan Collin Ward, 27, passed away on Sunday, July 18, 2021, in Aurora, Colorado. Ryan was a loving, caring and passionate son and will always be remembered for his kind and generous heart. Always a hug never a handshake. He lived life to the fullest and never met a stranger. Ryan had a great sense of humor and brought us much joy and laughter. He enjoyed traveling, music festivals, listening to the oldies, and skateboarding. He was a passionate OSU football fan as illustrated by his beloved dog Brutus. Ryan was quick to tell everyone his dad was his best friend. He never ended a conversation without saying he loved and missed us. He would say: "I love and miss you Mama." He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Ryan was born on September 3, 1993 and grew up in Powell, Ohio. Left to cherish his memory is his father, Bobby J. Ward and mother, Charlotte A. Ward, step brother James R. Cuthbert, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. We invite family and friends to share in his memorial and celebration of life, to be held August 7, 2021 at the Newcomer Funeral Home, 10051 Brewster Lane, Powell, Ohio 43065. Visitation will begin at 1:00 pm followed by a memorial service and reception.
