Funeral
services for John Butler Ryan, Jr., age 57, of Oklahoma City will be
held at 10:00 am Saturday, December 18, 2010 in The Chapel of the
Havenbrook Funeral Home, 3401 Havenbrook Street in Norman with Father
Alan Sutherland officiating.
John was born June 15, 1953 in Oklahoma City the son of John Butler and
Doris Jean (Taylor) Ryan, Sr. He passed away Tuesday evening, December
14, 2010 at the OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.
John attended schools in Oklahoma City, graduating from Putnam City High
School in 1970. He later completed an Associates Degree in Computer
Science from Francis Tuttle Technology Center of Oklahoma City. He
began a career with Kimray on October 3, 1977, working in various
positions, recently working in the Network Support Personnel
department. John was still employed with Kimray at the time of his
death.
John had an irreverent sense of humor, and could always make you smile.
He had a fascination with Outer Space and enjoyed reading and
researching UFO theories. He was a former Scout Master Leader and was a
participant in MUFON, an outer space membership group.
No other pass-time brought him more joy and pride, however, than his
children and grandchildren. He loved spending time with his family
telling stories, cracking jokes and just making them laugh. John was a
dedicated and awesome family man!

John Butler Ryan, III and Jerry Ryan, both of Colorado; two daughters;
