Ryan's obituary

Ryan Louis Hurley of Boston MA passed away unexpectedly of natural causes on March 9th, 2026. Beloved Son to Maureen and Clifford, Brother to Carolyn and Jodie Poirier, Brother-in-law to Travis, Uncle to Carson, Partner to Steve Loridas, Nephew, Cousin, and Friend to so many.

Ryan’s time here was too brief, but in that brief time he experienced more than most. He graduated from Winchester High School in 2001, followed by Suffolk University. He spent the majority of his career as a human resource executive. His most recent role was in the renewable wind energy industry, which he cared for deeply. He traveled extensively and loved experiencing other cultures, forever expanding his horizon. But, his treasured Boston was always home. He cared deeply about the world around him and our country, and he wanted to improve it for those he leaves behind. He loved the ocean and sailing the New England coast. He loved dogs and they loved him back.

However, Ryan will not be remembered most for the things he did for himself, instead he will be remembered for the things he did for others. A loving and loyal son, he cared for his parents beyond words or measure.

He had a way of being there when you needed him, without being asked. Knowing when a friend or loved one needed a little pick-me-up, Ryan would instinctively do that something that would make the lonely soul smile again. He felt others’ joy and pain as deeply as any fellow human could. He was wise far beyond his years, but forever young in his enjoyment of life and friends. He was a kind person, and also a fierce debater.

Ryan will be missed greatly, but those who knew him go forward having had the privilege to have experienced the way he lived his life. We now carry his legacy forward by living on the way he did.
