Ryan Christopher Deards

Ryan Christopher Deards, 40, of Springfield, Ohio, passed away suddenly on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from a motorcycle accident.

Born August 27, 1985, Ryan was the beloved son of Anna (Annie) and Theodore R. Nath, and Edward Deards Jr. and Jerri Deards. He leaves behind six beautiful children, Kaddin Deards, Maddix Deards, Keven (CJ) McDonald, Ryder Isiah Deards, Amyea (Meme) Jo, and Easton Ryan Deards.

Ryan is also survived by his sister, Erin (Rodney) Ashley; nephews and nieces, Noah Ashley, Levi Ashley, Aiden Ashley, Noah Wheeler and Madison Wheeler. He is also remembered with love by his partner and soulmate, Becca White, whose strength and devotion meant the world to him. Though they were not yet married, Ryan and Becca shared a deep bond and plans for a lifetime together. He is also survived by her parents, Randy and Dixie White; brother-in-law, Daniel White and nephews, Dallas and Jaxon White.

Ryan had a zest for life that was impossible to miss. He was loyal, caring, and full of energy—when Ryan did something, he did it all the way and then some. He was happiest surrounded by friends and family, enjoying the outdoors, or riding his Harley, which he took great pride in. Above all, his greatest joy in life was his children, who were his heart and his purpose.

Though his time here was far too short, Ryan lived every moment to the fullest. His spirit, love, and wild sense of adventure will live on through his children and everyone who loved him.
