CURRENT CELEBRATIONS

Ryan Reyes

He worked many a job during his life but recently fell into his dream job as a Sr. DC Process Development Manager for Rivian. Though Ryan never actually met his counterparts on the west coast, they thought of each other more as family than co-workers. His ambitions dated back to his youth, selling candy on the school bus. Of course, he found his real calling as a dad, rough housing with his sons and giving them the occasional “hut-hut.” His yard was full of bouncy houses, trampolines, bikes and everything else a boy could want. Ryan had an ease that allowed him to live just about anywhere, residing all over South Jersey and in the midwest while he trained as a pilot. He was raised in Atco and settled recently in Bridgeport. When it came to hobbies, he was all-in: motorbike racing, cross-country motorcycle riding, R.C. cars, powerlifting, watches, paintball, pens and, recently, camping. If his T.V. was on, he’d probably be cheering for the Eagles or watching obscure YouTube channels, expanding his knowledge. He was a graduate of Hammonton High School (’07) and was captain of the football team.

One of his earliest jobs was really, really awful, but he worked alongside a pretty girl named Danielle. Quiet times at the beach led to nuptials and a 12-year marriage blessed by two sons, Lincoln (6) and Oliver (3). He is survived by his parents, Cisco and Maura; his grandmother, Donna; his sister, Shana (Andrew) Walther; his parents-in-law, Jim and Lisa Lind and his brothers-in-law, Jason (Jenn) Labrie, Michael (Brittany) Labrie and Eric (Jackie) Labrie. He was the absolute best uncle to Kyle (10), Tyler (6), Benny (3), Addie (1) and Austin (2 mo).

Come celebrate 36 great years on Saturday, July 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio, 1518 Kings Highway, Swedesboro and tell a great story about Ryan at the 1 p.m. storytime service.
