Ryan Edward Parker passed away peacefully on February 27, 2026 from natural causes at his home in Farmington NH.

He was born on November 27, 1971 in Manchester NH and was the oldest child of Edward and Donna Parker (Saulnier).

Ryan leaves behind his "Sweetpea" - wife of almost 22 years, Valerie (Converse). He is survived by his parents, sister Holly, brother in law Robert, his niece Asia, nephew Silas, and father and mother in law - Steven and Lisa Converse.

Raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, Ryan was baptized on July 9th 1988 and served faithfully until his death. He found comfort in the hope of a paradise earth and promise of a resurrection, in which he looked forward to building his own home and seeing his beloved older ladies again. Though his ladies have all passed, he enjoyed throwing their walkers in his minivan, taking them on drives to the mountains. Also, jonts to the beach with lunch at The Old Salt, and a stop at Yummies for sweets.

Ryan recently achieved his Peer Support Certificate and was making plans to help those who suffered from mental illness. He also regularly made trips for Rides To Recovery to assist those who needed an extra hand in their healing journey.

He enjoyed all things New England sports, Star Trek, going to Fort Foster with his wife and their pups, Oscar and Felix, and getting together with friends for a game of cards.

A special thank you to the staff at Granite State Recovery for their support this past year. And, his fellow live in mates at the Garnet House in Farmington where he will be much missed during sports nights.
