Ryan Anthony Montanio

Ryan was a happy baby who struggled with heart and lung concerns since birth. He was loved by all of his family, friends, nurses and doctors. People always noticed how happy he was, with a continual simile and flirtatiously big blue eyes with extremely long lashes. He was brave, strong, and he defiantly knew the meaning of perseverance. He loved playing his piano, having books read to him, and taking his toys in and out of his toy box. Our arms are empty but our hearts are fuller for being part of Ryan’s life.

Ryan is survived by his loving family-parents, Tracie and Mark Montanio, grandparents, Vic Myers and Pam Myers, Pat and Tony Montanio, great grandparents Bob and Jean Dent, Nancy and Gene Myers, and Pella Niemietz, Uncle Vic Myers and Aunt Amber Montanio, Godparents Sara and Tim Keller.
