It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the passing of **Ryan M. George, 27, of Lowellville, who tragically lost his life in an overnight crash in Poland, Ohio.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around midnight on the 6800 block of Struthers Road. Ryan was traveling northbound when his vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A life gone far too soon.

Remembering Ryan

27 years is not enough. Not nearly enough time to live, to love, to laugh, to become everything you were meant to be. Yet in those 27 years, Ryan touched more lives than he ever knew.

To those who knew him in Lowellville and throughout the Mahoning Valley, Ryan will be remembered not for how he left this world, but for how he lived in it — his smile, his spirit, his kindness, and the moments he shared with family and friends.

We will remember the sound of his laugh. We will remember the good times, the late nights, the stories that will be told for years to come. We will remember a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin, and a friend. A young man with his whole life ahead of him, loved beyond measure.

There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so young, so suddenly. There is no way to make sense of a call that no family ever wants to receive. All we can do is hold each other a little closer, love a little harder, and honor his memory by living with the same fullness he did.

A Final Goodbye Is Never Final

To Ryan’s family and loved ones — please know that an entire community is mourning with you. Poland, Lowellville, Struthers and all across the Valley — we are holding you in our thoughts, in our prayers, and in our hearts during this unimaginably difficult time.

May you find comfort in your memories, strength in each other, and peace in knowing how deeply he was loved.

Details regarding funeral services and arrangements will be shared by the family when available.

Please keep the George family in your prayers and respect their privacy as they grieve.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

Rest in Peace, Ryan. You will be forever missed and forever remembered.
