Ryan Shepherd - Ryan was a larger-than-life individual who made an exceptional impact on all that came into contact with him. Born in West Hills, he spent the first half of his life in southern California before moving to Sonoma County in 1996. He married and had two beautiful children in Petaluma, California. He was an avid LA Dodgers fan, proud of his Irish roots and a devout Catholic and member of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. He was incredibly loyal to his family and friends and nothing meant more to him than his children, who were the true loves of his life.
