By Paula Pyzik Scott

On a balmy early summer’s day I stopped by to chat and take a gander at shuffleboard playing in Buckeye Park. A flock of cars indicated that something special was going on, but the scene was also exceptionally quiet.

Ryan Stackhouse was a real estate broker

Ryan Stackhouse, 47, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 26, 2024 at the Bridge Hospice Care Center, Findlay with his family by his side.  He was born September 19, 1976 in Willard to Jerry and Jan (McDonald) Stackhouse.  

In the short 47 years he lived, Ryan was so many things to so many people. He was a son, a brother, an uncle, a friend, and most importantly a husband and a father. Ryan was also the family poet, a great dancer and an incredibly positive person. He was our hero, who faced his battle with cancer with humor, dignity and grace. He was family oriented, selfless and always known for his quick wit and his humor. Ryan loved his family more than anything, cherishing all the time they spent together. He was a proud dad who loved supporting his children’s endeavors, especially cheering them on at school sporting events and activities. Ryan had a heart of gold, able to do anything and willing to do everything anyone asked. He wanted to protect and take care of everyone, even in his final days, providing comfort with his words “it’s all going to be o.k.”
