Ryan Thomas Estrada, born March 23rd, 1995, ran and probably jumped the pearly gates to meet Jesus on December 1st, 2025.

Ryan was a son, brother, father, grandson, nephew, cousin, uncle, best friend, bull rider, and a believer. He was a dreamer; he wanted everyone to live out their dreams and was always cheering people on. After Ryan passed, so many posts were made about Ryan being "my best friend," and pictures were shared of Ryan cheering on other bull riders, with friends citing he was always their biggest cheerleader. Ryan was a protector; he took to heart, "you stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves," which led him to the principal's office a time or two. Ryan was silly; his laughter alone would make you smile and laugh; it was genuine. Ryan was a believer and wanted everyone to be; he would talk about the Bible and Jesus with everyone.

Mourning his loss are his parents, Jason and Melissa Estrada, Erica and Cody Cline. Siblings, Kendyl Estrada, Madison Cates (Thomas), Augustus Estrada, Dusty Rose Rogers, Clara Ann Estrada, and Jackson Cline. Ryan leaves behind three beautiful children: sons, Roanan and Elijah (Miranda), and daughter, Kenndi (Nickole). Ryan's grandparents are Victor and Angie Payne, Vicky Payne, Theresa Martin, and Randy and Kim Cates. Ryan's only niece is Charlotte De La Zerda. Ryan has an extensive extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins that will miss him.

One of Ryan's favorite sayings was, "God is love," and so are you, Ryan.

The family will hold a private burial Sunday, May 17th, 2026. If you would like more information, please reach out to them.
