Ryan James Beehler

Ryan James Beehler of Golden, Colorado died in his home on Saturday, February 12, 2011. He was born March 11, 1987 to David and Roseanne Beehler, and attended Golden High School before he received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado in chemical engineering. He worked for almost a year at Knight Piésold, an environmental/mining engineering firm in Denver.

Ryan was the type of person that could become best friends with a stranger on the bus after five minutes of talking. His fun-loving personality and big heart won him numerous friends and memories, and he had unique way of making an impression on every person he met.

Ryan loved playing soccer, skiing and other outdoor activities. He and a group of friends formed a skiing and snowboarding apparel company called Tijra, which sells brightly-colored clothes with original designs. Ryan also loved chips and salsa and buffalo wing sauce.

Ryan is survived by his parents David and Roseanne, his older brother Brandon and his younger sister Michelle. A celebration of his life will be held on Friday, February 18 at 2:00 PM at Mt. Vernon Event Center, 17173 Mt. Vernon Rd., Golden, CO, 80401. His friends and family request that bright colors be worn to the service.
