Ryan's life began on July 23, 1987, in Fort Wayne, Ind., the son of Walter and Tracy Y. (Siler) Saylor.
Ryan, 21, graduated from Dowagiac Union High School in 2006.
Ryan loved so many things in his life. He loved to golf, snowmobile, four wheelers, going to the beach and so much more.
He loved his family and was a faithful member of the Liberty Chapel Church.
He liked to sing, even if he wasn't that good.
Everyone looked to Ryan for answers and he happily always helped out.
He was always happy and didn't have a shy bone in his body.
Ryan, truly, never knew a stranger.
He was following in his father's footsteps by working at National Copper Products as a press operator.
Ryan's greatest joy was his family which includes his parents Walter and Tracy Saylor, his three sisters Rachael, Randee and Robin Saylor, all of Dowagiac, his grandparents Sharon and Walter Saylor Sr. of South Bend and Alberta Siler of Granger, aunts and uncles Hillary Schenck of Granger, Jennifer (Joey) Kinsler, Steven (Terrie) Saylor, all of Tennessee, and many cousins.
Ryan passed from this life into Heaven on Sunday Aug. 10, 2008, as a result of an automobile accident.
His family will gather with friends on Wednesday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Apostolic Lighthouse, M-62 West, where his tribute service will be held on Thursday at 10 a.m. led by Pastor Mark Saylor of Liberty Chapel and Pastor David Helmuth of the Apostolic Lighthouse.
He will be laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery.
McLauchlin-Clark Funeral Home is serving the family.
Memorial contributions in Ryan's name may be directed to the family.
