Michael Ryan

October 7, 1949 ~ September 29, 2024

Our beloved great-grandfather passed away quietly on the Feast of the Holy Archangels. Michael was born to Margaret and Raymond Ryan on October 7, 1949, in the city of San Francisco.

Michael was a poet (Mico), prophet, a proud papa, a committed Christian, a professed Franciscan – deeply immersed in his Catholic faith, gentle and peace-loving. Michael was devoted to his four sons and daughter. He was blessed with 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. May his legacy live on in his prolific writings. He was easy to love and will be greatly missed.
