James "Todd" Ryon, born March 27, 1965, was 49 years young when he stepped into the presence of his Lord Jesus Christ on November 9, 2014. He is survived by his son Casey James Ryon and wife Fantasia, a granddaughter Constance Ryon and two step-grandsons Hayden and Hunter.

Preceded in death by his father Edward Ryon, Todd leaves behind his mother Ellen Kay Stewart, three brothers; David Ryon, his wife Lorie, Steve Ryon, his wife Nicole and Jerry Ross Stewart, Jr., his wife Brittany and three sisters; Jill Cleveland, Gail Volm and her husband Tom, Kym Baker and her husband Jeff and nieces; Makenzie Ryon, Erin Stark, Savannah Shambrook, Kayla Cleveland, Karie Carney, Jenna Volm, Ellen Davis, Madison Ryon and Randi Baker; nephews; Robert Ryon, Jake Ryon, Matthew Ryon, Tyler Hutchens, Zachary Cleveland, Jacob Baker, Joel Baker and Riley Stewart. His ex-wife Tracy Ryon and her two sons Tyler Rivers and Dylan Maroney remained close and held a special place in his heart.

Those who loved Todd know he is excited most of all to see Jesus face to face and next to reunite with his fianc�, Jennifer Crawford, who was killed three years ago this Thanksgiving Day, just one week before their marriage.

Todd's many talents included his amazing ability to hear a piece of music and sit down at the piano and within a few minutes be playing it. Most of his interests in these last couple of years had been watching and listening to sermons on prophecy and documents about the land of Israel. Todd invited anyone who would come over to share his interests in the Bible and would witness to anyone who would listen, whether friend or a stranger.
