Ryan Marshall Pineda

Tulare, California to Adrian and Amy Pineda of

Hanford, California, where he was a lifelong resident.

Ryan passed away while in the Sequoia National

Park, on July 29, 2016 at the age of 19.

Ryan had many friends, but he had a special

and loving relationship with his Maternal

Grandmother Judy Sundberg of Hanford.

They spoke daily and spent many hours together

having meals, attending movies or just enjoying

each others’ company. Though tall and imposing,

Ryan had a loving, kind, nurturing personality and

a quick smile. All of the neighbors and their pets

on his street knew him as a friend.

Ryan was an avid lover of sports and during his

young life had enjoyed bowling, baseball and

attended many competitive events with the Kings

County Special Olympics. He also participated in

Water Polo, Top-soccer and Hanford Recreational

Basketball. He proudly supported the Sierra High

School football team as an equipment assistant.

He graduated with the class of 2015.

Ryan was a dedicated San Francisco Giants and

Forty-Niners fan. One of his greatest joys was attending

Angels baseball games in Anaheim with his

Grandparents Dennis and Susanne Sundberg of

Huntington Beach, Fresno Monster Hockey and

Grizzlies baseball games with his parents and brother

Joshua. Ryan was blessed to have traveled extensively

in California and to other states with his family. He enjoyed

amusements parks, but animals were one of Ryan’s

greatest passions. Besides multiple trips to the Fresno

Chaffee Zoo, he had visited many other zoos in several other states.

Ryan attended Hanford Adult School and learned

vocational welding. He was scheduled to return

in the fall to learn more skills and earn certifications.
