Ryan James Bishop

Ryan James Bishop, 42, entered eternal rest on December 17, 2021. He was born in Providence, a son of Cheryl (Catone) Geremia and her husband Dean and Peter Bishop. Ryan was the proud father of Trevor James Bishop, loving brother of Scott and Haley Bishop. He is predeceased by his grandparents Elaine and Eugene Catone, Constance and R. James Bishop; 1st and adored great-grandson of Jenny and Joseph Andrade. Ryan also leaves his nieces and nephews whom he loved and delighted in. Ryan was a voracious and passionate Scrabble player. He particularly enjoyed playing with the family, make that beating the pants off everyone! There were few things that would lure Ryan out of his room, but one sure thing was when his youngest niece Callie came to visit. He loved her company and playing like he was a child again, running and chasing each other. He was always sure to have some candy stashed away to surprise her with. Ryan was self taught his favorite subject of history. He’s spend hours watching the History Chanel and discussing events with his step-dad. Ryan was a life long sports fan, hardly missing a Red Sox or Patriots game. It was not uncommon to hear him enthusiastically discussing game plays and player stats with his brother and nephew. Among other pleasures in Ryan’s life was anything that came out of his mom’s kitchen. He’d prefer her cooking over take-out any day of the week. Ryan was a deep thinker and would stand firm in his beliefs. From an early age Ryan loved animals and nature. As a boy he’s spend hours bent over at the beach collecting snails and shells. He is dearly missed by the family dogs Sage, Dazey and Willy whom he researched long and hard to discover her true bloodlines and breed. In honor of Ryan’s life, we ask that the stigma surrounding mental health to end. If talking about it, exposing it, shouting it from the rooftops will help even one person find a way to talk about their pain, a difference can and must be made. A Mass of Christian of Burial will be held on January 15, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. in St. Paul the Apostle Church, 116 Danielson Pike, Foster, RI.
