Ryan Rodabaugh Obituary

Ryan Jonathan Rodabaugh

Ryan Jonathan Rodabaugh, 41, of Mt. Blanchard, passed away Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023, in Findlay.

He was born May 16, 1982, to Ricky J. and Jan E. (Anthony) Rodabaugh, and they survive.

Ryan attended and graduated from Riverdale High School in 2000. He married his wife, Sarah (McDaniel), on June 10, 2006. Together, they share two beautiful children, Oliver R. and Stella R. Rodabaugh.

He obtained an Associates Degree from University of Northwestern Ohio and was a Master Mechanic. As a boy, Ryan was a Boy Scout and loved the great outdoors. When camping in the family woods, Ryan and wife Sarah's fire always glowed the brightest and was usually the hang out for story telling and lots of laughs after dark. Ryan also became a grill master and prepared some fantastic fixings. Not only using his mechanical skills and knowledge in his job, Ryan loved car restorations, rebuilding engines, transmissions, and drive trains. He had a 1983 fire engine red Chevy El Camino and 1952 Dodge Wayfarer that he took to drag strips frequently.

In addition to his wife and children, Ryan is survived by his parents; brother, Robert J. (Lisa) Rodabaugh; and sister, Tonya (Jason) Tracy.

At Ryan's request, there will be no services. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to his children's college fund in care of Coldren-Crates Funeral Home, 205 W. Sandusky St., Findlay, Ohio, 45840.

COLDREN-CRATES FUNERAL HOME has been entrusted with Ryan's care.
