Ryan Siri, 36, son of Larry and Wendy Siri, passed away on Wednesday, Sept. 11, after a two-year battle with brain cancer. He was born in Burbank, Calif. When he was 5 years old, his family moved to Placerville.
The tumor first appeared when he was a senior at Ponderosa. It reappeared cancerous in 2017.
He was a unique and talented writer, musician and artist. We were blessed to be with him and he will always be in our hearts with love forever.
He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Brianne and Demetri Chakonas and nephews, Brayden and Dawson of North Carolina. He is also survived by his grandmother Arlene Mroczek of Indiana and many aunts, uncles and cousins in Washington, Indiana, California, New Mexico, North Carolina, Minnesota, Missouri and Canada.
