It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Ryan DesChane of Pasco, WA. Ryno to all who knew him. Ryan was 60 years old and passed peacefully on October 15th, 2023 at Kadlec hospital of injuries sustained from a fall and subsequent stroke. He was surrounded by his family and friends.

Ryan was full of life and enjoyed spending time with his friends and family. He was an avid outdoorsman, who loved river rafting, truck pulls, horseback riding, camping, and diving. You name it and Ryan probably tried it. He was extremely talented and created extraordinary metal artwork. Many of us are lucky to be the recipients of his beautiful creations.

For the past 18 years, Ryan was the go-to guy at his job working as a Millwright for Battelle. His coworkers remember him as a hard-working, master problem solver. “Ryno could fix anything”. Ryan was a happy go lucky guy, who made friends wherever he went. He had the kindest heart and gave to his friends and family whenever possible. We will all miss his laugh, his smile, but mostly his heart.

Ryan is preceded in death by his father Darrell F DesChane and his sister Vicki L DesChane. Ryan is survived by his mother C.M. “Pat” DesChane, brother Mike DesChane (Monique), nephew Garren DesChane (Lizzy), great niece Madison DesChane, niece Brynne Bolson (Nigel), great nieces Shay, Morgan, and Haley Bolson and nephew Preston DesChane (Terrin).
