Ryan Simecka
Ryan Wayne Simecka, 27, Lawrence, passed away on Sunday, September 24, 2006 as a result of a motorcycle accident.
Ryan was born July 26, 1979 in Topeka, the son of Mark and Tonya (Deppe) Simecka. He attended St. Mary's Grade School and graduated from Oskaloosa High School in 1997. He received his Associate degree from Kaw Valley Vocational School in Graphic Arts.
Ryan was currently employed at Hallmark Cards in Topeka. During his high school years, he was a lifeguard at the Oskaloosa swimming pool and also taught swimming lessons. He worked for E. & E. Specialty, Payless Shoes, the Buckle, and Abbott roofing.
He enjoyed camping, the outdoors, sports, motorcycle riding, boating, wake boarding, and snow boarding. He loved life, his dog, Chassis, and was a friend to everyone. He also enjoyed gambling, poker, golf, just hanging out with friends, the latest/greatest technology, the water and the beach. Ryan was a giving and generous person and opened his heart and house to all. Money was no object to him. He was never afraid to loan out his car, truck or anything else to a friend in need. He was a giver.
