(Stuckel) McDermott Sr. Ryan possessed a tremendous, brave, and fighting spirit.
With the loving care of his family, he persevered through so many hurdles in his childhood while facing a rare form of epilepsy, Dravet Syndrome. He had the most expressive smile and facial expressions. And, like his companion The Grinch, his heart grew and grew. Ryan enjoyed being outside, particularly when camping with his family and going to the racetrack. He also admired his niece, Palmer Jo, and cheered for the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan’s motivation affected many lives, and it’s difficult to put into words how much his family and friends miss him.
He will live on in the memories of those who knew and loved him. Ryan’s parents are the only ones left to love his spirit: Travis (Carly) Keeney, Eldridge, Jacob Walker, Bradley W. (Kayla) McDermott Jr., Morgan (Michael Womack) McDermott, and Shawn (Bailey Morris) McDermott are all from Davenport. Sadie, Paizley, Maverick, and Palmer Jo are nieces and nephews; grandparents are Roxanne Griffith, Sandy McDermott, and Ordean (Cindy) McDermott; and there are many additional loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
