Ryan was born on November 15, 1996, in St. Louis to parents Gary & Christina Nelson and as the younger brother of Kayla & Abigail Nelson. After graduating from Vianney in 2015, Ryan attended Mizzou. He was currently a carpenter’s apprentice with his uncle as his mentor; His aspiration was to become a carpenter like his late grandfather, Terry Nelson Sr. He was also a youth soccer coach at World Wide Technology Park. He loved watching & playing soccer, bowling with friends, playing video games, and lounging around with his cat, Finn.
Ryan met his girlfriend, Taylor, during grade school at a school mixer. They enjoyed driving around, eating ice cream, and watching movies together.
Anyone close to Ryan knew that he was always making others laugh. He had an immense passion for his family & friends and was always a source of fun. His family and friends will miss him more than words can say.
Ryan was the son of Gary & Christina Nelson (nee Eng); brother of Kayla & Abigail Nelson; grandson of Nancy Nelson; boyfriend of Taylor Spinks; nephew of Terry & Pam Nelson, Sherry Torregrossa, George & Ruth Eng; cousin to Brad & Claire Nelson, Andy Groh, Sophia, Bella, & Tori Torregrossa, Alex, Benjamin, & Samantha Eng; and friend to many.

Friends & family are welcome to join his sisters, Kayla & Abby, and his girlfriend, Taylor, at Helen Fitzgerald’s any time after 1:30 pm on Thursday, June 23rd to celebrate his life.
Ryan was a great friend who was always trying to put a smile on someone’s face no matter what, he will be missed by everyone who knew him.
