Steven Anthony Ries, 54, passed away March 2, 2019. Steve was born April 12, 1964, to Robert and Arline (Boso) Ries. Steve had a larger than life personality - he was quick with a joke, loved to laugh, and never met anyone he didn't consider a friend. Steve graduated from Northland High School in 1982, and worked many years as an HVAC technician in Columbus, Ohio.
A child at heart, Steve loved playing outside with Emily and his grandkids. He was quick to lend a hand and always enjoyed a cold Bud Light and a lively conversation. Steve liked traveling, fishing, gardening, and was always working on a project in the garage or the yard.
Steve is survived by his wife, Kristin; children Morgan Crawford, Drake Ries, and Emily Ries; grandchildren Kira and Ezra Crawford; siblings Scott (Rhonda) Ries, Karen (John) Botti, Kathy (Alan) Chapman, and Gary (Marilyn) Ries; brother-in-law Kurt (Kim) Fansler; numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
