Obituary
Ryan Patrick McCormick was born a smiling baby on November 23, 1996, and brought that same smile to every new adventure and into everything he did in life. He was baptized as an infant by Pastor Tim Maland at Faith Lutheran Church in Hutchinson and was confirmed as a youth by Pastor Jon Lindekugel at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Hutchinson. Ryan very quickly began finding things he loved to do, which turned into massive accomplishments. He was a proud blackbelt, an expert videographer, and a remarkable leader of men. He took in the influence of many, and returned his own influence on others tenfold.
Ryan was a bright light in a world that could be cruel, a bright smile in any room that could be dull, and a beacon for those in need of an adventure. For many, he was the best possible person to help you seek adventure in the world around you.
The times when he was happiest was with friends and relatives finding creative ways to make the most out of time spent together, with any unplanned time being an opportunity to do something spontaneous and fun. Ryan’s bright light extended to his fraternity chapter, hundreds of family members, and many other people who were blessed to know and learn from him.
Later in his life, his greatest gift to offer was seeing the best parts of each of those he loved, and making sure to tell them. It was his greatest wish that we embrace those parts as we live our lives, and it will be an intentional goal of ours to do so as we mourn the time we will not get with him, but celebrated the time we got which felt like a lifetime.
Ryan is survived by his parents, Paul James McCormick and Kelly Joan Bestul (McCormick), older brother Joseph Paul McCormick, sisters Quin Kathleen and Meg Elizabeth McCormick, Paternal Grandmother Shirley McCormick, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins who were his ENTIRE world for all of Ryan’s life.
He joins Maternal Grandparents John Patrick and Elizabeth Joan Hallahan, infant brother James McCormick, our childhood dog Buddy McCormick, cousins Daniel Kelly Ryan and Jaxson Carlson, uncles Terrance John Hallahan and William James Hallahan, and more loved ones across the rainbow bridge.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Ryan throughout my time at MSU. Ryan and I choreographed our homecoming lip sync dance together in the Fall of 2019. He was incredibly creative and very proud of the choreography skills he said he had learned from his mom. Ryan was a very kind person. He was the type of person who made everybody feel like they were somebody. He was one of those people you could always count on to show up for you. I know he always did for me. He was the kind of leader that people wanted to follow, and lead so effortlessly. Ryan was loved and respected by so many. He will be deeply missed. Wishing peace to all those who are grieving at this time.

My condolences to the McCormick family and friends. I had the pleasure of knowing Ryan through his time with us at Minnesota State University Mankato. As an administrator at the University, he was one of our best student leaders over the past few years. His energy, love of others, creativity, and soul, will be remembered for a long time to come. He was “tapped” to be the keynote student speaker at our New Student Rally, a privilege which only goes to the best we have! He always brought a smile to my face, and was beloved in the fraternity and sorority community. With warmest regards, Mark (Constantine)
