Talmadge Eugene Ryan passed away peacefully at age 86 on Thursday, August 4, 2022. Ryan was born November 13, 1935 in Booneville, AR to Otho Ryan and Zenoma Rutledge Ryan. Ryan married the love of his life, Lynn, on September 13, 1982. Between the two of them, they had six children and shared 39 wonderful years together. Ryan retired as a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force in 1977 after proudly serving for 22 years. He then retired from Lockheed Martin in 2003 after 22 years.

During his leisure time, Ryan enjoyed hunting, fishing, coin collecting, and Sudoku puzzles. The last four years of life were spent loving, holding, cherishing, and playing with his grandbabies. Papa always had a lap for naps, candy to share, books to read, and the remote to the TV for SpiderMan, Bluey, and Choo Choo.
