James Edward Ryan

I've known Jim since I was about 5...that is a long time. Mom got her hair done EVERY week with Jim! My mom and dad, Kay and George, loved him and Patsy. Dad would either tell him an inappropriate joke or vise versa. He was a great guy! He will be sorely missed by all the Mader clan. Rest in Heaven, Jim...you have earned those angel wings.

Jim will be very much missed! We loved his humor and his interesting stories and we loved him. He had a very loving heart and fun spirit. Jim was among the first to accept and make us feel welcome to McFarland and we’ve been friends since 1988. 😪💔💗

Jim and I became very close friends after his brother Mike died. I will miss him terribly. He was a very insightful guy. Very sensitive, kind, good person. You could talk to him about anything. He had a tremendous sense of humor. We would laugh until tears came to my eyes.....it happened often. He was so very intelligent. He gifted with conversation. We would talk hours about politics, life, his family, his brothers,the world situation. His sense of humor was overwhelming. He cared so much about other people as well. God bless you Jimmy. You are in good hands. You loved Jesus Christ...he will take good care of you. I love you and will miss you my man.

God Bless YOU Jim! I am saddened to learn of your passing... YOU put up a serious fight my friend and were courageous through it all. You will be missed and our conversations were always memorable. Thank YOU for being a fine neighbor and friend. God Bless and Rest in Peace!!!

I just talked to Jim before I came to Florida. I have known him since he graduated from beauty school. He was always "Mrs. Jimmy" to me. A wonderful friend.
