Ryan Ted Cradlebaugh
Ryan Cradlebaugh, devoted husband and loving dad unexpectedly left this earth on Thursday September 8, 2022 at the age of 39. He was born on March 2, 1983 in Terre Haute, Indiana the son of Ted (Heather) Cradlebaugh and Cindy (Dennis) Swartz.
Ryan, along with his three brothers, grew up in Germantown, Ohio but later found his true home on the water at Cinnamon Lake, Ohio. The highlight of his life was meeting his “Angel” Helana and getting married on November 12 2005 at the CLA Lodge. The birth of his beautiful daughters, Zella and Jazzy, were two more highlights in his blessed life.
Ryan considered his home and family life as his greatest achievement and biggest blessing. The love he shared for his wife Helana was one of joy and delight to him throughout his life. He was an involved father whose unwavering support and love for his daughters set the foundation for their lives. Ryan enjoyed spending time with friends and family, loved community, music, and being on the lake. He found great joy and purpose in helping others, and working hard for his little family to create their own little slice of paradise. He was a hard working and well respected employee at Comfort Control.
Friends and family will miss his beautiful smile, spirited infectious laugh, and his “baby blue eyes”.
He will be deeply missed by his wife, Helana (Falb) Cradlebaugh, their 2 children, Zella and Jazlyn of West Salem, his parents Cynthia and Dennis Swartz of West Salem, and Ted and Heather Cradlebaugh of Germantown, Grandfather Leroy “Bing” Cradlebaugh of Pennisula, Brothers Todd (Jenna) Cradlebaugh, Chad (Jennifer) Cradlebaugh, Dylan (Morgan) Cradlebaugh of Germantown and sister Amanda Taylor of Akron. Father-in-law and mother-in-law George and Penny Falb of Ashland, brother-in-law Aaron Falb of Orrville, Sisters-in-law Julie (John) Mitchell, Rachel (Logan) Barr of Ashland and all of his loving nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life is scheduled for 3:00 pm on September 17 at the Cinnamon Lake Lodge. Memorial gifts can be made to gofundme.com/f/ryan-cradlebaugh or at a benefit to honor Ryan at a later date.
