Ryan Lee Eller, a vibrant soul from Rock Hill, South Carolina, concluded his earthly dance and transitioned into eternal celebration on December 20, 2024, at the age of 35. His departure is mourned by many, yet his life, marked by infectious joy and profound connections, remains a beacon of light for those he left behind.
Ryan was the embodiment of a devoted friend, a virtuoso behind the drums, and an ardent enthusiast of indie music. His moves on the dance floor were nothing short of innovative, and his pizza-making skills were legendary among those fortunate enough to taste his creations. However, beyond these passions, Ryan’s greatest source of pride and joy was his role as “Dada” to his beloved son, Miles J.P. Eller. His love for Miles was a boundless and powerful force, shaping his days and filling him with immeasurable happiness. He embraced fatherhood with open arms, cherishing every moment, big and small. This enduring love and dedication will forever guide Miles throughout his life.
Ryan’s memory will be lovingly kept alive by his wife, Katy Eller, his parents, Jimmy and Robin Eller, his brothers Jeremy and Tyler Eller, his maternal grandmother, Barbara Little, his Aunt Donna Fowler, Uncle Steven Little, and a wide circle of cousins and extended family members.
His capacity for joy and his contagious laughter forged friendships wherever he went. He held a special place in his heart for close friends Adam Annan, Edward Granger, and David Edwards, who enriched his life immeasurably.
In passing, Ryan joins a joyful reunion in Heaven with his grandfathers, Steve Little and Archie Eller, his grandmothers Margie Bolin and Betty Mae Eller, his cherished friend and soul-brother John A. Pruitt, and his beloved pets Buddy, Calvin, Ellie, and Frasier.
The family invites friends and loved ones to a celebration of Ryan’s life and the laughter he brought into the world on Saturday, January 4, 2025, at 1:00 PM at M. L Ford & Sons Funeral Home, located at 209 N. Main Street, Clover, SC. Following the service, the family will receive friends to share memories and offer support.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Ryan’s name to the American Heart Association, honoring his life and contributing to a cause close to their hearts.
