Ryan Smith, Middletown, IN—The Middletown community mourns the loss of Ryan Smith, a devoted husband, father, and friend to many. Ryan passed away unexpectedly on September 24th due to complications from pneumonia. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 16 years, Keirstien, and their two daughters, Ashley and Arianna.
Ryan was a man of many talents and passions. He was deeply involved in his community, serving as a town council member and coaching local softball teams. As a proud veteran, Ryan had served as a Blackhawk mechanic during his military career, a role he carried with great pride. Outside of his service, he was a lover of Marvel, with tattoos to commemorate his fandom, and was known as a Jack-of-all-trades, whether it was woodworking, grilling, or diffusing difficult situations with his signature sense of humor.
Ryan’s vibrant personality touched everyone he encountered. He was always quick with a joke, a hug, or a comforting word. His zest for life was contagious, and those who knew him describe him as someone who would do anything to help a friend in need. His passing leaves a profound void in the lives of those fortunate enough to have known him.
In recent years, the Smith family faced several hardships, including the loss of Ryan’s mother, Keirstien’s battle with breast cancer, and Ryan’s own victorious fight against cancer. Despite these challenges, Ryan remained a pillar of strength and love for his family. His sudden passing has left his family grieving deeply, and the community has rallied to support them during this difficult time.
A fundraiser organized by Lise Rice has been set up to help alleviate the financial burden on Keirstien and the girls. The funds raised will go towards memorial costs and ongoing bills, allowing the family to focus on healing. So far, contributions have been made by Chelsea Walker ($100), Lise Rice ($40), and Eric Anderson ($20), with the hope that more will join in to honor Ryan’s memory and support his family.
Ryan Smith will be remembered for the love, laughter, and kindness he brought to those around him. His legacy will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and community.
Our deepest condolences go out to Keirstien, Ashley, Arianna, and all who loved Ryan. We pray for strength and peace for the Smith family as they navigate this heartbreaking time.
