Ryan James Shook Obituary, Death – It is with great sadness that the Shook family announces the death of Ryan James Shook, their dearly loved son, brother, friend, and father, who passed away on December 15, 2023, in Dallas, Texas. His gentle spirit and generous spirit will live on in the memories of Jim and Michelle Shook, to whom he was born on March 15, 1988. Since he was a little boy, Ryan’s life has been characterized by his intelligence, inquisitiveness, and athleticism.
His academic and professional endeavors revolved around information technology project management and business systems consulting. He graduated with honors from Dallas Jesuit College Prep, Notre Dame, and the SMU Cox School of Business Executive MBA program (May 2023). Aside from his achievements in school and work, Ryan was a true sportsman who enjoyed competing at the highest levels in fishing, golf, and tennis.
He tried stand-up comedy, which he loved, because he was so good at making people laugh and was known for his friendly personality, quick wit, and adventurous spirit. But Ryan’s steadfast devotion, caring nature, and charming personality will last forever. Ryan was well-known for his intelligence, charisma, thoughtfulness, and unwavering dependability; a close friend characterized him as a man with unshakeable principles. Everyone whose lives Ryan touched will miss him deeply, even though he was only here for a short while.
Charlotte Shook, his cherished daughter, brother-in-law William Archer, Alexandra (Lexie), Jim and Michelle Shook, who are grieving, and a host of other loved ones also survive him. Allen Family Funeral Options will host a visitation and prayer service in memory of Ryan from 6:00-8:30 pm on Thursday, December 21, 2023. Friday, December 22, 2023, at 11:00 a.m., will be the funeral services at St. Mark Catholic Church, 1201 Alma Drive, Plano, Texas.
Instead of flowers, the family would like to know that you care about Ryan’s favorite educational causes and would like to nominate them to receive donations. For those looking to help pay for tuition at St. Mark’s or St. Paul Catholic Classical School, or to honor Ryan with a gift to The Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Dallas, you can do so through The Catholic Foundation.
