Ryan Michael Kelley
February 5, 2011 – June 18, 2026

Ryan Michael Kelley, age 15 of Bienville, Louisiana, was called to his Heavenly home on Thursday, June 18, 2026. Ryan was an amazing young man. He lived his life surrounded by the love of his family. Ryan loved being outside, whether that meant taking a walk with family or sitting on the porch taking in nature. The simple things in life made Ryan smile. He enjoyed his shower time, listening to music and being covered up with his favorite blanket, Linus. He loved the touch of being held or a warm embrace, and the smile that let you know it made him happy. Ryan was always listening and would either give a smile or a side-eye to show how he was feeling about what he was hearing. He enjoyed hearing babies, as they always brought a smile to his face. He especially adored his nephew, Amos Slade Evans. Amos lovingly called Ryan, “Uncle Ry-Ry.”
