Born on May 28, 2002 in Wilmington, NC was a son of Jessica Neathery (Godfrey) and James Outland.

Ryan was a loving husband and son. He enjoyed fishing, video games, and trucks. He had the biggest heart and wanted to take in any animal he saw on the side of the road. He was adventurous and loved the lake and mountains. There’s no where else he would have rather been. He was funny, kind, and the most loving person. He always tried to make everyone around him laugh and never failed at it. He was the light in every room. He had a smile that could power the world. He was truly the most beautiful person. Anyone who knew Ryan would tell you the same thing. 

Ryan is preceded in death by his maternal great-grandparents, Telton and Lucille Whitby; paternal grandparent, Walter Thomas Outland.
