David "Dave" Ryan

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of David “Dave” Ryan, who left us on November 17th, 2024. He is the beloved husband of Francine (Dube) Ryan with whom he shared 54 years of marriage.

Dave was born in Nashua, New Hampshire on September 12, 1948, and was the son of the late James and Tina (Marion) Ryan. He attended schools in the Nashua School System and was a graduate of Nashua High School.

Dave was a machinist at Sanders Associates/BAE for 38 years until his retirement. He also took pride in remodeling and caring for his three rental properties in Nashua, NH.

A quiet and kind man, David will be fondly remembered for his selfless acts of generosity and his ever-present readiness to lend a helping hand. He had many interests from coin collecting to photography and in his younger years, he thoroughly enjoyed coaching Nashua North Little League Baseball for 12 years. Above all, his most cherished time was spent with his family who he loved deeply.
