Ryan spent this short time on earth making unprecedented connections with the people he came in contact with.
His love for music led him to play in 2 different bands, rocking out with Throwback and The Adolescents throughout his early adulthood and he continued to support musicians whenever he could.
His unwavering passion for music, football and life in general helped shape his career as a bartender on the east coast. His ability to adapt and persevere helped him make the transition to Hawaii where he continued to win over the hearts of the people he met daily.
He is survived by his father, Robert Barrett and his 2 siblings, Brady with wife Leah, and Kaela Barrett. He fought cancer three times and won each battle over the last year and a half but lost the war.
