Ryan Henry Koza

He is survived by his wife, parents and stepparents, siblings, grandparents, along with many more family members, friends, and fellow Marines, who all hold a very dear place for him in their hearts.

Ryan is considered a focused young man who was passionate and committed to his goals and dreams. He is known for being strong and courageous, talented and faithful. His loyalty and commitment to his values and those around him, not only made him special to his family, but also formed strong bonds of honor and respect between himself and the fellow Marines serving alongside him.

People describe Ryan as polite, respectful, thoughtful, and an all-around outstanding person. His energy, quick-wittedness, charm, and playfulness made him a joy to be with.

We consider it a blessing to have had Ryan in our lives for 22 years. He made our lives and this world a better place. Now, Heaven is rejoicing that he’s home. And while life is going to be very difficult without him, we are anticipating the day we will reunite and be together forever in the presence of our loving, merciful God.

Receiving of friends and family will be at Stubblefield Funeral Home on Saturday, January 10, from 2:00-4:00pm. Funeral service to follow at 4:00pm. For graveside service time and details, please contact Ryan’s family/personal friends.
