Ryan Lanosga Obituary

Ryan loved playing football, both with the neighborhood boys and on the high school team.  He was an avid snowboarder, with a love for life, and was always ready for any and every outdoor adventure with his family and friends.  His infectious smile, magnetic personality and business savvy were some of his most irresistible characteristics.  His friendship was truly a gift to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.  

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Randy Lanosga, Sr. of Colorado Springs. 

Ryan is survived by his mother, Melodie Lanosga of Colorado Springs; his father, Jim Lanosga of Las Vegas, Nevada; three brothers, David Lanosga and family of Colorado Springs, Christopher Lanosga of Colorado Springs and Jeremy Lanosga of Las Vegas; his sister, Jamie Lanosga of Colorado Springs; his sister and best friend, Erin Lanosga of Colorado Springs; his grandparents, Harold and Emma Schrack of Kittanning, Pennsylvania; his grandmother, Audrey Lanosga of Colorado Springs; and many aunts, uncles and cousins scattered around the world who all loved him dearly and will miss him tremendously.  He is also survived by a myriad of friends, both young and old, who admired his charisma and loved his passion for life.  

A private interment will be held at the Fairview Cemetery with close family members.  There will be a public celebration of Ryan's life 2:00PM, Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at the Chapel of Our Saviour Episcopal Church, 8 4th Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado .  All are welcome to come and share in both the remembrance and the fellowship to follow.  



In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up for Ryan and his family.  Checks can be made payable to the Ryan Lanosga Memorial Fund and sent to the ENT Federal Credit Union, PO Box 15819, CS, CO  80935.

Our family would like to extend our condolences to Ryan's family and friends. I did not get the priveledge of knowing this young man, but my son was a friend of yours and was able to spend time with you this evening before the accident. Your sister dropped my son off safely at home 15 minutes prior to this tragic accident. I am so grateful for her helping him out and you arranging it. My heart hurts for your family and friends. Really at a loss for words...RIP

Our family would like to send out our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Ryan during this tragic time. We were able to meet Ryan, Jeremy and his sisters when we would visit your next door neighbods the Hains...and we saw what a great kid Ryan was and how much the siblings cared for one another. Our family knows firsthand how sudden tragic loss can impact the family and through our experiences we can tell you that it will get easier with time's passage and that as long as you keep Ryan's spirit and memory alive in your hearts and minds, he will be with you forever. My the Lord wrap you all in His loving embrace and help you through this troubling time.

Ryan was a strategic chess player, I could always count on him to compete in chess tournaments I held at Howbert & Trailblazer. Jeremy would be there to support Ryan at each tournament.
