Ryan M. Shoen

Ryan M. Shoen, age 39, of Lisbon, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 13, 2026. His family and friends will remember him for his kind heart, his love for the Lord, and his deep devotion to his family. Services will be held at Fox & Murray Funeral Home on Saturday, with visitation from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 12:00 PM. A burial will take place in the spring at Hillcrest Cemetery.

Ryan leaves behind his loving father, Jeffrey Shoen of Lisbon; his sister, Schuyler Shoen of Lisbon; two brothers, Cory (Itzel) Shoen and Logan Shoen, both of El Paso, TX; his niece, Chloe Martinez, and nephews, Bruce and Liam Shoen; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He is now reunited with his special grandmother Ruth Shoen, and his two dogs Piper and Mika who welcomed him into heaven.

Born on January 6, 1987, in Ogdensburg, Ryan was a proud graduate of Lisbon Central and furthered his education at SUNY Canton and Potsdam State, earning a bachelor's degree. He worked in various retail jobs prior to the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center, where he worked in the kitchen as their food service supervisor and brought light and positivity to those around him. Ryan’s heart was full of passion—whether it was his love for the band Korn, his collection of Batman memorabilia, or his dedication to fitness and his beloved cats, Cuddles, Nala, and King Louie.

Ryan’s true joy came from his deep faith. He loved the Lord, and devoted his life to his Savior. His gentle spirit and kind nature touched all who knew him, and his legacy of love and faith will continue to inspire those who remain behind.

Memorial contributions in Ryan’s name may be made to the Potsdam Humane Society, 17 Madrid Avenue, Potsdam, NY 13676, to honor his love for animals. Condolences and cherished memories may also be shared online at www.foxandmurrayfuneralhome.com.
