Ryan was born June 16, 1980 in Slidell, LA, and was the son of John and Susan Moser Marange’. He was a graduate of Centennial High School. Ryan enjoyed video games, and had a talent working on computers and electronic equipment. Much of his free time was riding his 4-wheeler and just "hanging out" with family and friends. He had a sweet, happy-go-lucky attitude, and a childlike spirit that would see the best in the people around him. Through it all, he was loving and giving. He would give the shirt off his back to someone in need. Ryan understood hardship and worked daily to overcome it. When he wasn’t painting, he spent time with his dog, Teddy Girl, treating her like a member of the family. But his passion, pride and joy was being a great dad to his 10-month old son, Mason.

In addition to his son, Ryan is survived by his parents: John and Susan Moser Marange’ of Fairview; a sister: Kristi Marange’ (and Antonio Castanon) of Fairview; two brothers: Nicholas (Ashley) Marange’ of Franklin, and John Michael (Aubrey) Marange’ of Smyrna; nieces and nephews: Gabriela, Nevaeh, Nicholas II, Riley, and Kellan Marange’; Mason’s mother: Brandy Plemmons; and loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

The family requests that memorial donations be made to the Ryan J. Marange’ Memorial Fund, c/o Heritage Funeral Home, 105 Southeast Parkway, Suite 105, Franklin, TN 37064. You may share condolences with them at the top of this page.
