Patrick James Ryan died August 26.

He lived in Venice for 10 years and was loved by all. He cared for the homeless and if he had any extra food he made sure that the

homeless were feed.  He would even give up his food. He graduated with high honors from Tech School and was  a Marine Engine Mechanic for many years. His passion was playing his drums and putting on a show and believe it he really could play those drums.  He played with many famous bands through his lifetime. There was a memorial service on September 18 at the Venice Recreation Center. There were lunches provided to those in need.  Patrick would have wanted this for all of his friends.

The family would like to thank Mike, Steve, Al,  Pat and Victor and the Staff from the Parks and Recreation Department of Venice for all of their hard work and caring to make this memorial happen.

He was born on June 12, 1955 in Chicago, Illionis. He is survived by his mother Margarget Ryan of San Bernardino, brother Richard Ryan of Temecula, sisters, Gail Alberts of Highland, Linda Wills of San Bernardino and Susan Miller of North Carolina.  His father Richard

Ryan Sr. and brother Thomas M. Ryan  predeceasedPatrick in 2008 and 2009.
