With a heavy heart, we mourn the loss of Ryan Wattigney, a friend to so many. As his family faces the unbearable pain of this loss along with memorial arrangements and the uncertain road ahead, we are asking for family and friends to come together and help lighten the load for Dana and the kids.

On Saturday, August 2, 2025, Ryan went into anaphylactic shock and lost his life, at the age of only 39. The family faces the great tragedy of this unexpected loss with incredibly heavy hearts.

Losing a husband and father so unexpectedly is something unimaginable, and something that will never be healed. This family will never be the same without him, and neither will anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was so incredibly kind, caring, goofy, fun, loving, and hardworking. He worked so hard every day of his life to support his family that he loved so much.
