Ryan's obituary
Ryan Allen Harper, 37, of Hartwell, GA died unexpectedly on February 15, 2021. His loss was completely unexpected, and his family and friends are heartbroken.
Ryan was born on May 5, 1983 to Chris Harper and Judy Harper in Anderson, SC. Ryan attended Hart County High School and then graduated from North Georgia Technical College with a degree in Turf and Golf Course Management.
Ryan met his wife, Emily, in 2011 and moved to San Diego, CA in 2013. Ryan and Emily married in Greensboro, GA in 2016. They then welcomed their son, Jackson, in 2019 and enjoyed their life together in San Diego before moving to South Carolina to be closer to family in 2020.
Anyone who knew Ryan knew that he was larger than life and would give the shirt off of his back for anyone in need. You could always find Ryan on the golf course, in his vegetable garden, or cheering on the UGA Bulldogs.
Ryan’s family and friends miss him more than words can say. There will be a virtual memorial held on Saturday, February 12th at 11:00 am PST. Please visit https://www.mykeeper.com/event/ryan-harpers-virtual-memorial/ to RSVP with your email address and to find the link to the memorial.
