Ryan Patrick Westlake Flynn, born at 9:17 pm at Baptist Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, August 10, 1980, passed away at his home in Henderson, Nevada, August 11, 2020. Cause of death is, as yet, unknown.
Ryan is survived by his mother, Linda Clark Flynn; two sisters: Amanda Flynn and Jacquelyn Flynn Stewart; brother-in-law, Jason Stewart; nephew, Nathaniel Stewart; two nieces: Lillian and Juliette Stewart; daughter, Vanessa Flynn Almache; uncle, Anthony Patrick Flynn; aunt, Lynda Foster Flynn (godparents) of Cheshire, England, UK; aunt Cherie Flynn Allum and uncle Barry Allum, of Westcliff-on-Sea, England, UK; great-aunt, Pam Zincroft-Flynn, of Dereham, England, UK; uncle David Clark and aunt Sheila Clark of Houston, TX, uncle Mark Clark, aunt Rhea of Dallas, TX, great-aunt Sandra Clark Meador, of Counce, TN; great-aunt Addice Denham, of Phoenix City, AL, UK; cousins: Alex Flynn, Dashiel Allum, Reilly Allum, Catherine Flynn McDaid (and spouses, Liv Flynn, Sarah Allum, Kate Allum and Mark McDaid); US cousins: Matthew Clark of Dallas, TX, Mindolé Clark of Czech Republic, EU, Erik Clark (and spouse, Leah) of Katy, TX; Tony Clark of Seattle, WA, and Natalie Clark of Little Rock, AR.; and many more. Ryan has many childhood friends and family friends who were "family" to him (and to all of us), many in/near Overland Park, KS… (Ryan's father, Keith Flynn, died on the 10th of October 2017.)
Ryan graduated from Silverado High School in Henderson, Nevada and attended some college at a local community college. He left to take on a sales job full time, where he did something his family thought was "impossible": selling $2,000 vacuum cleaners "door to door" so successfully that he was promoted to help the sales trainer in California train other salespeople to do the same. Ryan was only 19 years old. Because, he found being on the road, sharing a room with an older, married guy; going to bed early, eating poor fast food three times a day, a lot less fun and less profitable than, his previous door-to-door, cold call sales job; Ryan then went to work for a big equipment company in Las Vegas, starting as an assistant at the front counter for their warehouse, assisting mechanics looking for parts needed to make on-site repairs for big equipment.
Once Ryan learned all the parts and had gotten to know many of the young mechanics who did the onsite repairs or temporary fixes that keep big construction jobs moving forward without long, expensive delays; the mechanics began inviting him to join them in the field while they made repairs. And so, on his days off, he learned how to find the problem, replace the parts, and rig the fixes from these on the job training opportunities, where he learned by doing. Within a year, Ryan had joined the other mechanics in the field, able to make temporary, creative fixes to keep the equipment running.
From there, Ryan worked for Nevada Cement, joining the Southern Nevada Operating Engineers. This was followed by mechanic jobs, working on cars and trucks, becoming a shop assistant manager for auto repair shops, then a shop manager. This experience led to his owning and running a Midas Repair Shop in Lomita, California. In 2017, a decision was made to move Ryan's franchise to a nearby city in Nevada where profitability would be better; taxes, fees, and regulations more reasonable. However, his father's death halted that. Ryan took his father's death extremely hard. He returned to Las Vegas to live near his family, working a variety of jobs in the automotive sector.
In May of 2019, Ryan was hospitalized for five weeks with double pneumonia and an allergic reaction to a prescription medication, put on a ventilator for 11 days, followed by forced time off from working to fully recover. His recovery overlapped the arrival of the Coronavirus, further delaying his return to normalcy.
Ryan enjoyed sports, becoming an avid surfer during the 17 years he lived in California: from Sherman Oaks, to Venice Beach, to Marina Del Rey, to Torrance, and finally to Lomita. He continued to enjoy watching sports all of his life, having played one season of Semi-Pro Football League in Las Vegas at around age 22, enjoying pickup basketball though his mid-30's when his old knee injuries began to make it too painful. He went snowboarding in winters. As a child, Ryan played T-ball, baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and track, in various levels of youth leagues, including AAU baseball, soccer and basketball, and school teams. He was a natural athlete with the ability to "see" the field of play in his head and the courage to push himself. Ryan loved the team camaraderie and he also wanted to win; sports brought him much joy and many friendship opportunities. Ryan also participated in Cub Scouts, and CAP (Civil Air Patrol) because of his great love of planes and flight, enjoyed skate boarding, roller blading and bicycling. He was good at them all, despite being a tall kid and an even taller (6'5") young man.
He had an avid interest in history and politics and enjoyed both on-line and verbal discussions of historical figures and events and how they effected current events.
Ryan was raised in the Presbyterian Church but sometimes attended various Catholic Churches in California with friends. He was a Christian and an unapologetic believer in Jesus Christ as his Savior his entire life. He was generous to a fault when he had money, loved children, and had dreams of finding a forever life partner and having more children.
He will be well and truly missed by his family. His sudden death has left a great sadness and deep sense of loss.
Graveside services for Ryan will be on Saturday, September 12, 2020 at 10:30 A.M. at Palm Henderson Cemetery, 800 South Boulder Highway, Henderson, Nevada, 89015, next to his beloved father.
A larger Memorial Service is scheduled for November 14, 2020, at Palm Boulder Highway Mortuary, 800 South Boulder Highway.
