My sympathy to the entire Ryan family. Marvin was my first principal in my teaching career. I reconnected with him later while he was at Olin. May your memories bring you comfort in the difficult days of saying goodbye.
Mr. Ryan was an outstanding principal and better yet an outstanding person. He was a person always with a smile on his face and a kind word to say. He will be truly missed by all..... Lyndon Jacobson
Dear Inez. We were very sorry to hear of Marvin's death. Please know you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
It is gratifying to read all of the memories of students, co-workers, school board members, and friends, and to see what a difference Marvin made in the lives of the people with whom he came in contact. Marvin and I were friends from jr. high years, through high school, and also college. There was little doubt that he would be a leader, and when he chose to be a teacher, coach, and later an administrator, he was destined to have a positive effect on countless lives. Sue and I are proud to number the Marvin Ryan family among our friends and share in their loss. In addition to his life as a professional educator, Marvin also was a skilled builder and brick mason, which he learned from his brother and closest friend, Jack. I had the pleasure of working with both of them, and I would not be surprised to be awakened from a dream some night by a vision of Marvin standing on a scaffold with his trowel pointing to a mortar board, with a slight smile on his face, saying in a nonchalant voice, If I had some mud on this board, I'd put some blocks in the wall. Rest in peace, Marvin-the Bryants love you all.
So sorry to hear of Marvin's passing. Was nice to see in the obituary where the kids were. Inez, I really enjoyed you as a friend while you were at Olin.
One of the greatest men I have ever gotten to meet.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Marv was an amazing man and a great educator. I am so blessed to have not only had him as my superintendent, but also my boss. Our prayers are with you Ryan family.
Our sympathy & prayers to all members of Marvin's family. Marvin was well respected during his time at Cedar Valley. We especially remember how good he was to all of our children and always with a smile. Ronnie especially enjoyed talking with him about their farming. Rest in peace, Marvin, from Ron, Janice, Kim, Kathie, Tony& Tracy Wetter.
