Ryan Gallagher was our first cousin. In fact, Ryan had many first cousins who all adored him. We all have so many warm memories of our childhood. From our family vacations to Cedar Point, Nemacolin, and even the Atlantis in the Bahamas to all of our Birthday and holiday celebrations, which often ended in the YMCA on the Gallagher side.

Ryan’s kindness, smile, and sense of humor were always evident at every event. He genuinely cared about his family and friends. Ryan always wanted to make sure others were happy and always asked about how you were doing.

In addition, Ryan was a beloved father to Evelyn and Jude. Ryan loved his children more than anything in the world. As a result, we have decided to open a Go Fund Me to help support Evie and Jude’s future educational needs. The funds will go directly to 529 plans in their names, which will be used to offset college and educational expenses when they are of age.

Thank you so much for helping to keep Ryan’s memory alive by supporting his children.
