Ryan Nicholas Man, 33, of Phoenix, Arizona died suddenly Tuesday night, February 27, 2018 from complications of diabetes. He was born in Silver Spring, Maryland, moving to Phoenix in 1993 at the age of 7. He attended Cashell and Colina Elementary Schools, Centennial Middle School, and Mountain Pointe High School. He attended the University of Arizona for 3 years and shifted to Culinary School starting a career in Culinary Arts at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. After 5 years, he relocated to Charlotte, NC, to finish his degree in Finance at UNC Charlotte while cooking at the Westin. After graduation, he worked for Vanguard in NC and transferred to the Scottsdale, AZ, office in 2016. Ryan had a wonderful soul and didn’t know a stranger. He loved to meet and chat with new people and was a kind, helpful, fun-loving person who left us way to soon. He loved all sports, played tennis, doted on his aptly named cats, Venus and Serena, and put his friends and family first in his life. He is sorely missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his mother Sue Man, brother Andy Man, sister-in-law Stacie Man, sister Jenny Man, grandmother Barbara Chapp and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is predeceased by his father Tom Man. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, March 4, at Sunland Mortuary Lakeside Chapel, 15826 N Del Webb Blvd, Sun City, AZ at 12 noon.
