Ryan Esperas, affectionately known as "Hawaiian Ryan" was born on May 12, 1974, and passed away on December 27, 2025.  He will be remembered for his infectious laugh, vibrant spirit, and the joy he brought to those around him.  Ryan had a way of lighting up any room and was truly the life of the party. 

An amazing cook, Ryan shared his love through food, laughter, and time spent with others.  He lived with a spirit of aloha-offering kindness, warmth, and genuine care to friends and family alike.  He was a father, son, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.  

Ryan's legacy lives on through his sons, Kai Esperas and Tayden Esperas; his loving mother, Teri Castillo; his brothers, Leon Esperas and Chris Ross; his nieces and nephews; and a large extended family and many dear friends. 

He joins in eternal rest with his father, Ronny Lee Esperas, and his grandmas. 

Though Ryan's time with us was far too short, his laughter, love and aloha will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
