Ryan Alyn White

We remember the life of Ryan Alyn White, affectionately known as Whitey, Turtleboy, or Squints to family and friends.

Born on August 17, 1999, in Gardner, MA, Ryan was a charismatic soul who lived his life with infectious humor and a loving heart. He was a beacon of light in every room, spreading laughter and joy wherever he went.

Ryan had a courageous, adventurous spirit and a deep love for the outdoors. He was passionate about hunting, fishing, and dirt biking, and had a special connection with animals — often taking in and caring for various critters along the way. Every day he lived life to the fullest with no regrets.

What mattered most to Ryan was providing endless love to his friends and family. His untamed spirit and funny antics were the heart of many gatherings, making each moment spent with him a memorable one. Ryan is survived by his father, Kevin; mother, Christy; brother, Kyle (Grace); paternal grandmother Barbara; maternal grandmother Donna (Bill) LaFord; step-grandmother Deborah Guyer; aunt Kelly (Alan) Mailloux; uncles Justin (Kerri) Guyer, Bill (Heidi) White, Eric (Tanya) Seppa; many cousins, and countless friends. He is predeceased by his paternal grandfather, William; maternal grandfather, Steven Guyer; and uncle, Craig White.
