John T. “Tim” Ryan

John Timothy “Tim” Ryan, 75, died unexpectedly on February 14, 2022, at Rutland Regional Medical Center.

He was born on June 30, 1946, to Francis and Jennie (Cook) Ryan.

He was a lifelong resident of Rutland, graduating from St. Peter’s School and Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Class of 1967. Prior to becoming disabled he was employed in several retail businesses in the area.

John, as he preferred to be called in later years, was a lifelong member of St. Peter Church where he was active as an usher and volunteer.

A kind and compassionate man with a big heart and a great sense of humor, John loved people and could strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere. He was a devoted fan of MSJ and Notre Dame football and enjoyed his time as a member of the Civil Air Patrol. He cherished his family and was extremely proud of his Irish heritage.

John is survived by sisters Judy Ryan Lavallee of Essex Jct., VT, and Mary Margaret Ryan (Robert LeBlanc) of Rutland; Nephews Norman Lavallee, David Lavallee (Teri) and Kevin Lavallee (Rachel); Nieces Julie Morin, Laurie Lavallee and Jessica Ryan LeBlanc (Lance Masterson). Also surviving are eleven great nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was pre-deceased by infant sister Francis Ann, brother-in-law Norman Lavallee and nephew Donald Morin.

A funeral Mass in June will take place at St. Peter's Church, followed by burial in Calvary Cemetery.

Memorial contributions in John’s name maybe made to Mount Saint Joseph Academy.

Arrangements are by Clifford Funeral Home.
