Tom was an extremely fun loving person. He loved being around people and always had a smile, a hug or food to share. Anyone that knew Tom, knew how much he loved his mother, family and friends. He dedicated his life in caring for his mother until her passing in 2014. His fun loving spirit was a perfect fit for his employer at Ameristar Casino in the Banquet Area. The family would like to thank the staff/friends at Ameristar for their support and understanding to Tom.
The family would like for all who visit this website to leave a message or memory of Tom. Thank you, The Ryans
Tom and I were good friends at Prep North High School. We had a great time in French class but didn’t excel in that language. I was sorry to see Tom leave during sophomore year. My condolences to the Ryan,Clarke and Church families. Steve Rempe
Please accept my condolences, I am so sad to learn of Tommy’s death. You already know he was the greatest brother, brother-in-law, uncle. We would meet for breakfast for our birthdays and have the best time, talking and laughing. I loved him like so many others who were blessed to have him in their lives.
I am deeply saddened to read about Tom’s passing. What a gift he was to us all!
Tom was always supportive and encouraging when I worked with him at Massa’s Forum many years ago and at Harrah’s as well.
Please know that Tom was loved by many and will be sorely missed.
You are all in my prayers. May God comfort you in the days ahead.
Love you Tommy and will miss you dearly. The heavens sure got an amazing Angel. I know your up there watching over us and having a piece of cake!! Save one for me my dear friend for we shall meet again.
I have so many fond memories of Tommy from when we worked together at Massa’s. He can still make me smile when I recall his antics. I am sorry for your loss and send heartfelt prayers for the family.
Tommy was like a brother to Mark & I. His compassion towards Rose made him her “other son” as she called him. Tom always had a smile regardless of how he was really feeling. He was one of our favorite patients in our office and our staff always loved his visits. He would even bring one of our hygienists a cash gift at Christmas. Tom made everyone feel special and wanted to know about your life. I’m hoping Tom Pat and Rose are together today because it will be LOUD and I’m not sure who will be having the most fun! Love to the whole Ryan family. Take care of each other at this trying time, you need each other.
Although Tommy never approved of my wardrobe failures(which he so blatantly let me know the very first second we met) he quickly became one of my very dearest friends and I will forever miss him! He was the very best that life had to offer in a co-worker and friend! He was always so thoughtful and caring and had so much love, laughter, smiles and hugs to share. His family was always #1 to him and he spoke of them often with such pride and love! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest in peace my Tommy boy, love you more!
Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of Tom. During times of loss we find ourselves troubles by thing we don’t understand. Tom will always be remembered as a hard working , honest and a respectable man and a wonderful work husband to me. We where all blessed to have him in ours lives! May god be with you all during this time.
Even through the tears of sadness and loss I found myself laughing thinking of Tommy and all the years of crazy fun antics. I worked with him at Harrahs and then Hollywood. He knew how to get the job done and have fun while doing it. I was blessed to call him my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this time of loss. Like you I will miss his great hugs and humor. Rest in peace Tommy thanks for the memories Love you
Wonderful Video. You can see and feel Tommy’s love and big heart in these pictures. It is hard to see the pictures clearly with tears in your eyes. I have so many favorite pictures . . . Sam standing next to Tommy; Tommy with Pat; Tommy dancing with Mom! WOW! Thanks so much for sharing this video, especially since we regretfully couldn’t be there. Tommy has a special place in my heart. I think about Tommy and the whole Ryan family so so often. I love y’all so much. With love, hugs and prayers, Jackie
although I only worked with Tom a little over a year, it felt like longer, as I grew very close to him in this short time. Tom was a true Gem to our team, and made a lasting impression with our guests and his fellow team members, We all loved Tom,and he will truly be missed from our team. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ryan Family.
I was lucky enough to meet Tom a little over a year ago at Ameristar. We formed a friendship very quickly and were soo much alike in ways I would call him my brother! What a beautiful soul, he always greeted with a warm smile and a kiss on the cheek and a “hi sister!” Everyone loved Tom and respected him for the person he was-WONDERFUL!! I truly miss him and our emoji sending text a few times a week to just say Hi & LOVE YOU. This world lost a amazing man but God gained an angel!! To the Ryan Family may God grant you peace above all else and blessings.
I heard about Tommy’s passing just a few months ago. I’ve been living in Texas for 19 years, but have family and friends still in St. Louis. I just want to let his family know how sad I am to hear this news and remember how loving and kind he was to me in my late teens-early 20’s working together at Massa’s He was the very best co-worker and taught me so much about life. I think he even talked me into getting my real estate licence! I lost touch with Tommy sometime in my 20’s but remember our laughs and his incredible kindness to everyone. He was a treasure and Iv’e always wondered how he was doing. Much love to his family and friends. His family was his life.!
