Ryan Walker Weeks

Ryan Walker Weeks was born just five days after Christmas on December 30, 2000. He was born in Enumclaw, WA to Russ and Kelley Weeks and was the youngest of three children. He died on May 13, 2023 when he took his own life at the age of 22.

Ryan graduated from Enumclaw High School in 2019. He ran Cross Country and sang in Coro d'Uomo (Men's Choir) all four years.  His final 3 years at Enumclaw High School he also sang in the Concert Choir and the Chamber Choir.  He went to the State Competition twice with Coro d'Uomo and once with Chamber Choir. He did a year of College at University of Idaho and then returned home to Enumclaw during the Pandemic. While at U of I he was an active member of The Young Republicans and Chi Alpha Christian Organization. He went on to work at Evergreen Memorial Park, where he became the Head Groundskeeper. He was a lifelong member of Wabash Presbyterian Church and he loved singing in the Men's Choir. His dedication to work, to right and wrong, and to his Christian faith made his family very proud.

Ryan was firm in his convictions, which often led him to be stubborn to a fault. But he was also one of the most caring young men around. He was always very aware of how others were feeling. He loved fishing, hiking, and Dr Pepper. He loved his dog, Jazzy, who he got when he was five years old. He loved his family, and his family will always love him.

He leaves behind so many who miss him, including his loving parents, Russ and Kelley; his sister, Corissa (Gavin) Mc Guire; his brother, Trevor (Kia) Weeks; his grandparents, Duane and Fay Weeks, and Bruce and Jane Richards, his aunts and uncles, Karla and Peter McCowin, Doug and Rhonda Weeks, Kerry Richards, Dan and Danielle Weeks, and Karen Richards; his cousins, Thomas (Kim) Richards, Zach McCowin, Gavin Hardersen, Kaitlin McCowin, Ilah Hardersen, Makenna Weeks, and Owen Weeks. He leaves behind many extended family members and friends.

Ryan's family wants you to know that if you are feeling overwhelmed with life, stuck in a loop, depressed, or trapped, please reach out to someone.  They would be honored to be the person you reach out to.  They will always be available to sit with you, listen, and help in any way.

No words can express how deeply Ryan will be missed and how lost we feel without him, but we know that we will see him again.
