Ryan was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and was on the Dean’s List at JHU. He cherished his friends from high school and college immensely. As a child, Ryan was an effervescent character who loved playing football, reading, riding the ripstick, watching sports, spending time with his family, and witty banter. He was loving, bright, and had a unique perspective as he approached challenges. Ryan worked as a Pharmaceutical Business Analyst at PharmaACE in Princeton, N.J. He loved his job and his colleagues commented on his enthusiasm, work ethic, and engaging personality.

Ryan was the loving son of Grace and Christopher Masi and an amazing younger brother to Anthony and Faith. His grandparents are Alfonse and Nancy Masi and (the late) Harold and Muriel Olsen.
