Above all, Ryan was a devoted and loving father to his two children, Tamia Eason and Tristen Eason, who were the greatest joys of his life. He was also a cherished son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend whose presence, smile, and love will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
