Graveside services for Tony Lynn Ryans, 38, of Chickasha, will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 29, 2019 at Laverty Cemetery with Mark Carpenter and Chuck Patterson officiating.
Tony Lynn Ryans was born December 19, 1980 in Marlow, Oklahoma to Billie Earl Ryans and Holly Zanzel (Simmons) Ryans. He passed away Saturday, October 26, 2019 in Chickasha, Oklahoma.
Tony grew up in Cement and graduated from Cement High School in 1999. He then studied Electronic Engineering at Grantham University. He had done construction, electrical, and oilfield work.
In August of 2013, he married the love of his life, Stacey Ann Thompson in Chickasha, Oklahoma.
Tony loved classic cars and hotrods. He also loved Dr. Pepper. Tony had a quick wit and a sarcastic sense of humor. He had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back. At a recent fundraiser for his medical bills he expressed that he wanted to give someone else part of what was raised. He was such a gentle and giving soul. The Native meaning for Tony’s name is “Spirit Warrior.”
As an example of his “I’ll show you attitude” back in 1995 he had a 2% chance at living after he almost died in a car accident, but he overcame it and enjoyed life for the next 24 years. He loved his best friend, Ronnie and always looked forward to their time spent together. He loved his kids and enjoyed picking on them and taking them to Nanny’s for Sunday lunch. Tony was greatly loved and will be missed by many.
He was preceded in death by his father, Billie Ryans, his brother, Clay Ryans and his grandparents, TB and Rena Simmons and Mittie Ryans.
Survivors include his wife, Stacey of the home and children, Hailey, Makenley, Adelynn and Braxton Ryans also of the home; daughter, Makila of Ninnekah; mother, Holly Ryans of Cement; sister, Shyla Ryans of Cement; brother, Mike Ryans of Mexico; nieces and nephews, Michael, Dayken, Brooklyn, Madex, Maverick, Lisa and Vicki; and other extended family and friends.
