Ryan Starnes Obituary
Survived by his fiancé, Ky-el McRae; son, Luke A. Starnes; parents, Katrina Skoczylas and Mike Starnes; siblings, Michael Starnes, Emma Wolf, Joshua Powell, Sean Starnes, and Bradley Starnes; grandparents Kathleen Meyers, David Weidemann, Frank and Rose Skoczylas, Norine and Sonny Holder.
Beloved Uncle, Nephew, Cousin, and Friend. Ryan's spirit will forever be with the lives he touched. Ryan was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. His smile would light up a room. He was a devoted and loving father to his son, Luke. Family always came first. He enjoyed WWE and collecting cards. He was still a kid at heart. He enjoyed fishing. He was a big Detroit Lions fan. He loved cooking. Ryan always tried to do the right thing and will be loved and missed by all who knew him.
