Sean was a member of the Berg Middle School basketball team and also ran cross country and track. He was a spontaneous, risk taking, adrenaline junkie that wanted to be a U.S. Marine. Sean loved his family pets and was affectionately known as the “chicken whisperer”. He was also very handy and enjoyed working on projects from plumbing, to wiring, to building a chicken coop.

Sean is survived by his parents, Jim and Jennifer “Darby” Ryan of rural Newton; sister, Shannon Ryan of rural Newton; maternal grandmother, Mary Cook of Roanoke, Virginia; and the Ryan and Cook families including his aunts, uncles, and cousins; and his many, many friends.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandpa, George Richard Cook; paternal grandparents, John “Jack” and Doris Ryan; and an uncle, John Ryan. ~ The Wallace Family Funeral Home, Newton, Iowa 4 Jan 2017.
