Ryan passed away in the early morning hours on May 18, 2018 due to cancer. He was surrounded with loved ones throughout the day in his home in Omaha, NE. We are grateful he is no longer in pain.
Ryan was born to Randy and Cindy Brown on January 26, 1981 in Sidney, NE. He enjoyed playing baseball, basketball, golf, fishing, spending time at his Grandma Brown’s farm, going to LakeMcConaughy, and being with friends and family throughout his childhood. He graduated from SidneyHigh School in 1999.
Ryan attended college at the University of Nebraska-Kearney in the fall of 1999. His love of sports continued into his adulthood. He put a softball team of friends together that ended up playing in state tournaments for several years. Ryan met his wife to-be, Melissa Burrows, in 2007 while she was attending UNK. They were married on June 18, 2011 and were blessed with boy/girl twins, Jayce and Brinley, on April 18, 2016. During their time in Kearney, they enjoyed spending time with friends watching Husker games, playing horseshoes, playing pitch, enjoying music and hanging out in the backyard. He loved UNC basketball games, Dodger baseball and Husker football. Ryan and Melissa also did a lot of traveling to see family in the Panhandle.
Ryan was very meticulous, handy, and had an eye for detail, which led him to a career of building and remodeling homes for 100s of families. In 2014, Ryan and Melissa moved to Omaha, NE after Ryan took a position as a Project Superintendent with The Home Company, where he worked ever since. Ryan held many great attributes, too many to list all of them. He had a smile that would light a room and bring joy to a rough day, he was faithful and reliable, ornery and stubborn at times with a great sense of humor, and a protector of those he loved. Even in the thick of his sickness, his biggest concern was that his wife and children would be okay. Ryan liked to keep things simple, was down to earth, easy to talk to, and always made people feel comfortable and welcome. He was truly a special man whose light touched so many people. His legacy will live on in his children, and he will not be forgotten.
Ryan was preceded in death by paternal grandparents L.C. and Eula Brown; maternal grandma Laurie Barnica; and uncle Randy Barnica.
He leaves behind wife Melissa; two-year old twins Jayce and Brinley; mother and step-father Cindy Schuessler and Fred Johnston of Bear, DE; father and step-mother Randy and Carrie Brown of Sidney, NE; brothers Jeremy Brown of East Lansing, MI and Trevor Schuessler and wife Amelia of Sidney, NE; sister Kelsey Schuessler of Springfield, MO; several other family members; and numerous friends who have become family.
Holechek Funeral Home and Cremations in Sidney is in charge of arrangements for Ryan Lyndelle Brown.
