With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Mr. Kevin A. Ryan, age 51, of Watertown, who died on Thursday, November 20, 2025. His death has left his family, friends, and community deeply saddened, as they mourn the loss of a man whose life was defined by love, dedication, and kindness.

Born in Milwaukee on November 6, 1974, Kevin was the beloved son of Terence and Susan (Tischaefer) Ryan. He built a successful career in I.T. Security with National General Insurance, where his professionalism and integrity earned him respect. Yet, beyond his career, Kevin’s greatest joy was his family. He married the love of his life, Kim Vento, on February 2, 2008, and together they shared 17 years of marriage filled with devotion and laughter.

Kevin was a proud Eagle Scout and an active member of the Izaak Walton League in Watertown. He enjoyed hunting, woodworking, and cheering on Madison sporting events. His hobbies reflected his adventurous spirit and his love for simple pleasures, from thrifting with his daughter Molly to embracing the nickname “El Padre” given by his grandson Bennett. Above all, Kevin cherished time spent with family and friends, creating memories that will endure.

He is survived by his wife Kim, children Molly Ryan and Madison Holder, grandson Bennett Quinn, mother Susan Ryan, siblings Amy Keller and Scott Ryan, and many nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Terence. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at Schmutzler-Vick Funeral Home in Watertown, with visitation beginning at 4:00 p.m.

Rest in peace, Kevin A. Ryan. Your love and legacy will live on forever.
