It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Alpha Ryan, who was born on January 20, 1938, in Santa Fe, Texas, United States. Alpha peacefully departed this world on August 12, 2024.

Alpha was the beloved child of James and Roxy Ryan and the loving partner of Jerilyn Anne Ryan. They were the proud parents of six children: Raymond Ryan, Randal Ryan, Alisa Espitia, Jerald Ryan, Angela R Ryan, and Brandi K Hughes. Alpha's memory will forever be cherished by their ten grandchildren.

Alpha Ryan attended Santa Fe High School and had a deep-rooted connection to the community they called home. Their kind spirit, wisdom, and selflessness touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing them.

Alpha will be dearly missed by their family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of crossing paths with them. May their legacy of love and compassion live on in the hearts of those they leave behind.
