He was the oldest son of William R., and Dayle P. Manning. Ryan graduated from Chariho High School in 2006, where he was a member of the football team.

Ryan leaves behind a son Owen P. Manning, who he adored and in whom he was so very proud. Ryan also leaves behind his siblings, Laura E. and her husband Jon R.

In addition to his immediate family Ryan leaves behind many beloved Aunts, Uncles, numerous cousins and friends with whom he shared many memories. Ryan also cherished his faithful dog, Lady.

The memory of his smile and laughter will forever be a reminder of the light and life Ryan brought to all the lives he touched.

Ryan loved to spend time with Owen. He enjoyed fishing out of Point Judith and working as a plumber in South County. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Ryan volunteered for the Charlestown Emergency Services while in high school. Ryan was a kind soul with a lively intellect and would talk to anyone about current events and all sports. Ryan would be ashamed if his reputation as a proud New York Giants fan was omitted.
