Ryan was the owner of Ryan Gruendike Welding and Fabricating. He could design and fabricate just about anything. He loved music, which was playing all the time when he was working in his barn. Ryan was a voracious reader and a regular at the library. He enjoyed hanging out on the deck with Donna watching the hummingbirds and waiting for the bats to put on a show at dusk.  Ryan was always available and willing to help others. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends.
