Ryan Cody Magula
July 5, 1982 – March 2, 2026 

Ryan Cody Magula, 43, of West Richland, Washington, passed away on March 2, 2026. 

Ryan was born in Richland, Washington on July 5, 1982, to Barbara Shields Magula and William Paul Magula. As a child, Ryan and his family lived in several parts of Washington before returning to the Tri-Cities. He attended Richland High School, where he met Charlotte, the mother of his three sons.  

Ryan built his career as a sheet metal worker with Local Union 55. He took pride in his trade and the work he did. Being a craftsman mattered to him, and he carried that pride quietly every day. 

Hunting, fishing, and spending time outside were some of his greatest joys. Those passions meant even more when he shared them with his three sons. Time with them outdoors was where Ryan was happiest. 

Ryan had a warm and easy way about him. He was friendly, kind, and made people feel comfortable right away. Ryan was sometimes quiet, but his presence put people at ease. A mischievous grin was almost always on his face, followed by the small chuckle that seemed to come with everything he said. It was the kind of smile people remember. 

Ryan is survived by his three sons, Mason, Deakon, and Easton; his mother, Barbara Magula; his father, William Magula; his siblings, Aaron, Justin, and Rachel; and his nieces, Alexis and Neka.  

Ryan will be remembered for his quiet strength, his love of the outdoors, the pride he took in his work, and the natural talent and joy he found in cooking. He brought warmth and an easy presence to those around him. Most of all, he will be remembered as a father who loved his boys deeply and found his greatest happiness sharing life with them. 

A celebration of life will be held for close friends and family.
