Johnny Morgan Ryan, 67, of Coopers Creek went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday December 4, 2007, following a courageous battle with cancer. He was at home surrounded by his family and loving wife, Doris, at the time of his passing.
He was born on May 1, 1940, in Frame to Conrey Ryan and Wilda Ryan Walker. He was preceded in death by his parents and by his brother, Jim Ryan.
Johnny was a member of Mount Pisgah Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon and Sunday school teacher and also enjoyed singing in the choir.
He was employed at Union Carbide Corporation Institute Plant and Rhone Poulenc Inc., with 29 years of service, holding several supervisory jobs, with his last position being that of the B-Shift supervisor. He was a member of the fire brigade and served as the emergency director. Johnny also served in the United States Army for six years.
Surviving are his loving and devoted wife of 49 years, Doris Jean Shafer Ryan; stepmother, Mildred Ryan of Cottageville; sons, Stephen L.

Johnny fully enjoyed life, making several trips west with his good friends, Don and Janice Isaacs, most recently in August of this year. Prior to a stroke in 1995 he was an avid hunter and fisherman, especially enjoying deep-sea fishing. He will be sadly missed by his family and many friends.
Service will be 11 a.m. Saturday, December 8, at Mount Pisgah Baptist Church, Coopers Creek, with the Rev. Art Morrison and the Rev. Raymond Cobb officiating. Burial will follow in Blaine Memorial Cemetery, Cottageville.
