It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ryan Blake, age 23, who left this world far too soon on March 28th, 2026.

Ryan was known for his goofy personality and his constant mission to make people laugh. He was always up to no good in the most endearing way, bringing smiles and lighthearted moments to those around him.

He is survived by his loving parents, Angela and Chris Blake; his brother, Caden Blake; his grandmothers, Sharon Blake and Cathy Burns; and his Grandpa, Tom. He is also survived by his aunt, Laura Marks; his uncles, Dale Burns, Jamie Burns, Andy Burns, and Jeff Burns; and his many cousins, including Alexis Marks, Tre Marks, Ken Marks, Colbi Marks, Conner Burns, and Colton Burns, as well as extended family and friends who will forever cherish his memory.

Ryan was preceded in death by his cousin, Taylor Marks.

A service to honor and celebrate Ryan’s life will be held on Saturday, April 4th at Wyandotte County Christian Church. The visitation will begin at 9 am with the Funeral to follow at 11 am. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
