Michael Ryan Obituary

The world is not as bright without Michael in it.

Mr. Ryan was my history teacher at Sandusky High School. I remember him to be a kind and gentle teacher. My condolences to his children and grandchildren on his passing.

Mr. Ryan was a dedicated and exceptional teacher. He helped guide me through my first few years of teaching and led the Social Studies Department with both wisdom and wit. He knew his material as well as anyone and his influence can still be felt at Sandusky High today. Few garnered the respect that he had earned over his dedicated teaching career.

Mike has been a friend of our family for 40 yrs. He was an SHS social studies department co-worker, our sons´ teacher & is pictured here with our grandson when we ran into him while walking at Sheldon´s Marsh. He was a wonderful guy. Our condolences to his family & may God hold you in the palm of his hand in the days ahead.

Mike has truly been a close and loyal friend of ours for many years. He was always ready with interesting and humorous stories that would bring smiles to our faces. We will truly miss you at our Wednesday night dinners with our group of friends. To Mike's family....our heartfelt condolences! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Mike was a High school classmate and social friend for many years and the world will truly miss that contagious smile of his! I spoke with him last summer at a class reunion . I hadn't seen him for 30 years and he seemed outwardly the same optimistic Mike , even though his wife recently passed. Knowing he is not physically here saddens us all , but I'm so glad that God put him in our lives !Prayers go out for family and Believe he is in our final destination as a citizen of Heaven ! God Bless

Mike was a wonderful and devoted husband, loving father and loyal friend. He was also an avid student of history who not only understood and respected the importance of remembering our past but also committed his career to passing on that knowledge to thousands of young people with the hope his contributions would help lead to a better world. You will be missed dear friend.
