“Death of a Superhero”
Ryan Michael Myszak, age 39, AKA – the formidable superhero – CYBORG, met his heroic end after many years battling his cancerous nemesis, “Multiple Myeloma”. Ryan passed peacefully in his Munster, Indiana lair on Thursday, March 19, 2020, surrounded by his loved ones. Left to continue his valiant legacy are his wife and confidant Lacie and their faithful sidekick daughters: Lilly, Jill, and Lexie. Left in the wings are his adoring mother and father, Lucy and Richard Spitale and his avenging sisters Brooke and Bridget Spitale, and Kathryn Williamson. Along with a legion of aunts, uncles, and cousins alike, they are now tasked to bear his name and tell the tales of the once and always honorable CYBORG.
“Becoming a Superhero”
Ryan was born in “Da Region” of Indiana on June 21, 1980. In his youth Ryan would unknowingly meet his future wife Lacie in1986. In 1998, he graduated from Donald E. Gavit High School where he excelled in football, wrestling, and baseball. He brought and made smiles with an enthusiastic approach to the theater, choir, and various clubs. Ryan and Lacie would date at this time. He would attend Saint Joseph’s College to further his knowledge and baseball career. He would finish his college years accomplishing an infamous Marketing degree, sealing lifelong friendships with the vestige “PUMAS”, and mastering the “Puma Punch” and “Down on One Knee” recipes. Conclusion: On March 1, 2003, Ryan and Lacie would join in everlasting matrimony. “A good marriage is one where each partner secretly suspects they got the better deal”…or something like that.
Ryan was a Jack-of-All Trades and certainly a Master of some. In his lifetime he would be a marathon/triathlon participant, a Crossfit trainer, a volunteer, a hunter, an ordained minister, a youth pastor, a 5/10K race organizer, a motorcycle enthusiast, an Ironworker with Local 1 Chicago, a world traveler, a saxophone and knife-throwing amateur, a thrill seeking connoisseur, a leader, a follower, a lover, a fighter… ya get the point.
“Legacy of a Superhero”
Above all, Ryan was a friend, a family man, a son, a brother, a husband, and a father. Ryan’s life would seem too short to many, but the lives he touched would understand that the quality of his life far exceeded any limitation of time. He will be missed. He will be loved. He will be remembered. HE WILL ALWAYS BE OUR SUPERHERO.

Ryan, I can't believe you are gone I will miss you always. I am so thankful for all the memories I have with you and I will always treasure them. You were so great at making time for everyone in your life. You loved to call instead of text and would just call and say hey what are you doing wanna come over. I am thankful for all those times you invited me to hang out.
I will always think of you when are favorite teams play especially our White Sox. Also, I loved that you called me to help teach you how to make Pumpkin Rolls with you and the girls. Even though I messed up and forgot the baking powder, now I will always think of you when I make pumpkin rolls and I promise to never forget the baking powder ever again ;)
Please look down on us we could sure use an Angel right now.
I will always be there for Lacie and your girls.
Love you forever

He was the kind of guy that would give the shirt off his back to help someone out. I know this first hand. Ryan you were a great friend to me and my family. I pray that Lacie, the girls, and the rest of Ryan's family find solace in knowing that he was loved by many. Rest in peace my friend.

It seems to me that Ryan really knew how to live each moment to the fullest! Having known him from Woodmar Baseball & Gavit Middle/High School, his athleticism and theatrical prowess were evident. After high school, I didn’t seem to hear much about Ryan but felt certain that whatever he was doing, he was doing it right. That’s just what he does. When I read of all his accomplishments, I had to smile. The one thing that stands out in my mind when I picture Ryan is that big beautiful smile! He was truly a happy guy who relished his life!
May your memories of Ryan provide you with much comfort.

Ryan was incredible kid that I had the honor to coach. I got to see him two years ago when I was in town. The greatest reward as a coach is to see the young men and women we coach grow up to be great people. I appreciated him taking his time to come say hello. It meant a lot to me then and even more now.

There is only one way to get through this and that is to remember all the good times and fun we had together....I am HONORED to have even known you and privileged to be a part of your family...we were brothers and at times spent more time together than either of our wife’s. Many would say that we were cut from the same cloth. I will miss you more than I could ever put into words... You gave so much to so many people and I always felt like you were in a hurry to do it. The term Hero is one that is most fitting...Now that your gone all we can do is remember the way you tackled any obstacles in your way...with reckless abandonment of fear or embarrassment...May we never lose the relentless energy and spirt that shined through you.
Thanks for being the best friend anyone could have ever asked for ...see you on the flip side BROTHER

Ryan, Pastor Ryan... there’s so much any one of us can say about the type of amazing man you were. You were our youth pastor for a long time and I will never forget all the amazing memories and lessons I learned. I want to share one of my most frustrating memories, but at the end, it will be clear why. We had a spaghetti cook off to buy a pool table for the youth group. I was so excited to get that pool table and then when I heard that we had purchased a used one that had to be fixed up and put together, I was SO upset. We worked on that pool table for months, sawing, sanding, cleaning, buffing. By the time it was finished, I was so tired and frustrated, I was over the pool table altogether. But to this day, I’ll never forget or regret every minute we worked on that table. I didn’t see it at that young age, but I did when I got older; anything worth something takes a lot of time and effort. In fact, I only realized it as I’m coming into my second year of marriage. A few weeks ago, I watched my husband working toilessly on a project that I thought was useless. I thought, “why is he putting so much effort into this? He could have just bought a new one at this point.“ Immediately, that pool table came back to my memory. I realized, with projects, with marriage, with relationships, with life; anything worth something takes a lot of time and effort. I will carry this lesson with me always and I will not give up when time lags on and my hands grow tired. When my patience is up and I want to throw in the towel, I will keep going and I will press on. Thank you, Ryan.

I remember competing on the football gridiron with Ryan back in my Gavit days. He was always positive, upbeat, and truly embodied the Gladiator spirit as one of the hardest workers in the room. I’m honored to have known and shared the field of battle with him. No doubt in my mind that his spirit will live on as a mighty as a Gladiator. You were always and will continue to be an inspiration. Rest easy my friend.

Many would say that we were cut from the same cloth. I will miss you more than I could ever put into words... You gave so much to so many people and I always felt like you were in a hurry to do it. The term Hero is one that is most fitting...Now that your gone all we can do is remember the way you tackled any obstacles in your way...with reckless abandonment of fear or embarrassment...May we never lose the relentless energy and spirt that shined through you.
Thanks for being the best friend anyone could have ever asked for ...see you on the flip side BROTHER

My heart goes out to your entire family. I'll never forget your wedding day. I've photographed so many, that I can really tell when people are truly happy to be getting married. I saw that on both of your faces that day. And also during the times I got to photograph you after that day. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. But he will be with you always, in your heart. May he rest in Heaven. Love, Patricia

Ryan, Pastor Ryan... there’s so much any one of us can say about the type of amazing man you were. You were our youth pastor for a long time and I will never forget all the amazing memories and lessons I learned. I want to share one of my most frustrating memories, but at the end, it will be clear why. We had a spaghetti cook off to buy a pool table for the youth group. I was so excited to get that pool table and then when I heard that we had purchased a used one that had to be fixed up and put together, I was SO upset. We worked on that pool table for months, sawing, sanding, cleaning, buffing. By the time it was finished, I was so tired and frustrated, I was over the pool table altogether. But to this day, I’ll never forget or regret every minute we worked on that table. I didn’t see it at that young age, but I did when I got older; anything worth something takes a lot of time and effort. In fact, I only realized it as I’m coming into my second year of marriage. A few weeks ago, I watched my husband working toilessly on a project that I thought was useless. I thought, “why is he putting so much effort into this? He could have just bought a new one at this point.“ Immediately, that pool table came back to my memory. I realized, with projects, with marriage, with relationships, with life; anything worth something takes a lot of time and effort. I will carry this lesson with me always and I will not give up when time lags on and my hands grow tired. When my patience is up and I want to throw in the towel, I will keep going and I will press on. Thank you, Ryan.

I remember competing on the football gridiron with Ryan back in my Gavit days. He was always positive, upbeat, and truly embodied the Gladiator spirit as one of the hardest workers in the room. I’m honored to have known and shared the field of battle with him. No doubt in my mind that his spirit will live on as a mighty as a Gladiator. You were always and will continue to be an inspiration. Rest easy my friend.

Sending my love and condolences to family. The quality of life remembered in memories passed on to generations outlasts the time of life spent on earth. And Ryan had courage in many respects. He had inner strength and always fought a challenge and that’s my memory of him as a “super hero”.

So sad to hear this, but know he lived a full life in the time he had. He made a positive impression on everyone who met him. Now his girls will carry on his legacy of kindness. Praying for all of you.

Oh Ry, I miss you so incredibly much and none of this seems real. Cousin nights out, all the million and one family get togethers, nothing will be the same without you. You truly are the most special person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and I’m so blessed to have you as my cousin, to share the same blood line. If we could all learn to be a little bit more like Ryan, the world will be a far better place! Rest eternally my dear sweet cousins, continue moving mountains in the big blue skies! #MYSZAKSTRONG #BEYONDYOU

Ryan, I will remember the first time you wrapped your little arms around me and said, "I love you", our last great laugh about Hunter digging the "crater" into the neighbor's yard and everything in between. Your spirit, love and genuineness will forever be missed. Lacie, Lillian, Jill, Lexie, Lucy, Rich, Brooke, Bridgette, Laura, Danny and the entire Myszak family are in our prayers and we are thinking of you with love as we know your hearts are broken and there really are no words. We loved him so much. Rest in peace, Myszak!!!
