Ryan W. Demers

In loving memory of Ryan William Demers, who passed away on May 22, 2023 at his home in Manchester, NH due to complications of Type 1 Diabetes. Ryan was born on January 18, 1994, at Fort Campbell military base, to his loving parents, William Demers and Michelle Senecal (Twardosky).

From a young age, Ryan exuded a remarkable free-spirited nature displaying wisdom that surpassed his years. Ryan lived his life with an open heart extending a helping hand to anyone in need and demonstrated his exceptional ability to treat everyone with equality and without judgment. Ryan’s sense of humor was infectious bringing joy to everyone around him and was a defining characteristic of his kind personality.

In his personal life, Ryan enjoyed fishing, camping, hiking, exploring new trails, joyrides, and visiting beaches. The outdoors held a special place in Ryan's heart and he reveled in the beauty of nature. His deep connection with animals was especially evident in his love for cats and birds often demonstrated through his love for his cat Esmerelda. Ryan was always surrounded by close friends/family and was notorious for random text messages, phone calls, and drop-ins just to check in on his inner circle. His ability to listen with intent, empathy, and understanding earned him lifelong and cherished friendships.

Professionally Ryan was an accomplished Drywall and Finish Carpenter at Executive Building Systems, his trade skills seamlessly blended with his inclination to assist others. Ryan was always ready to support his friends and family with projects generously sharing his knowledge and expertise.

He is survived by his beloved daughter, Kaelyn May Demers, his devoted parents, William Demers and Michelle Senecal, his loving sister, Chelsea Demers and brother-in-law, Stephen Eurieck. Ryan will also be dearly missed by his nephews, Easton Roy and Ajay William, his grandparents, Carl and Cindy Demers, his uncle Mike Twardosky, his aunt, Dawn Davis, and his cousins, Ashleigh Lambert and Nolan Davis.

Ryan is predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Louise and Joseph Twardosky, and paternal great-grandparents, Sid and Doris Gurley.

Ryan's memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know him. His free-spirited nature, his compassionate soul, and his unwavering willingness to help others will continue to inspire us. May his spirit find peace and his legacy of love and kindness comfort all that loved him.
