Ryan J. Fellows

Ryan J. Fellows, 40, of Glastonbury and formerly of East Hartford, passed away peacefully with his loving family and friends by his side on Sunday, October 29, 2017 at Hartford Hospital after a courageous brief battle with cancer. Born in Manchester on November 5, 1976, Ryan was a resident of East Hartford for most of his life prior to moving to Glastonbury over four years ago. He was a graduate of East Hartford High School, Class of 1995 and played midget football on the East Hartford Elks team for several years. Ryan loved the sport of football and playing fantasy football, and wants everyone to remember that “17” was the 2016 league champion. He was an avid and loyal fan of the New York Yankees and Chicago Bears. A talented golfer, Ryan liked golfing with his friends and giving them lessons on improving their golf game, and he also enjoyed going to Black Point Beach in Niantic and taking out the family boat and riding his “HOG”. Ryan was the Owner and Operator of RJ Funding, LLC in Glastonbury for several years. Prior to starting his own business he worked as a mortgage broker and in auto sales/finance. Most of all, Ryan had a zest for life and was the “Eye of the Tiger” to all who knew and loved him.

Schultz and her husband Alan of Glastonbury, Kaylee L. Nye of Vernon; two brothers, Zachary R. Fellows and Hunter C. Fellows both of Glastonbury; and two adored nieces, Savannah M.
