Patrick C. Ryan, age 72, a resident of Kenosha, passed away Friday, November 18th, 2016, at St. Catherine’s Medical Center Campus. He was surrounded by his loving family.
Pat was born on January 7th, 1944 in Kenosha, to the late Robert P. and Sylvia (Mortenson) Ryan. He married the love of his life, Joanne Woodbury on March 8th, 1969.
He graduated from Mary D. Bradford and was a proud alumnus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Go Badgers!!!
He held various executive positions in the oil industry for over 40 years that included Vice President of Atlanta South 75, Georgia, President of Nashville East 40, Tennessee, Vice President for J&L Oil, Illinois, and Regional Manager for Travel Centers of America, Illinois. After retirement in 2010, he worked proudly as a bailiff for Judge Anthony Milisauskas, retiring in 2014.
Pat was a 12 year cancer survivor and very involved as an advocate for others throughout their journey. He was active in Relay for Life and was also nominated for Person of the Year Award for Kenosha County.
He was an honored member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and attended every Sunday in his bright, vibrant colorful outfits. He cherished the friendship of Father Roman Stikel and Deacon Jim Francois.
He loved life, his family, his precious dog Kasey, his daily grocery store excursions and what a great, feisty Irishman he was. He was actively involved with and supportive of Camp Anokijig in Plymouth, Wisconsin. He enjoyed watching cooking shows daily and sharing his newly learned talents. What a great cook he was!
Pat is survived by his beloved wife Joanne, his two sons, Shawn and Shane (Marisa), and by one grandson, Austin. He is further survived by his brother Robert (Susan) Ryan of Atlanta, Georgia, his sister Kathleen Tenuta and his loving dog Kasey.

Hello,
I am so sorry for your loss. I met Pat in 2010 when he was working as a bailiff, as I am a paralegal in the DA’s office. At the time, I was battling cancer myself. His sister told Pat about my circumstance, and he made a point of coming over to introduce himself, and offered his advice and support to me. I was very appreciative for his kind words at such a difficult time in my own life. He was truly a great, caring man, and he will be missed.
Sincerest condolences,
Lynn Callovi
