Ryan P. O’Toole, age 39, of Crestwood, Missouri, passed away on June 30, 2025. He was born on June 23, 1986. Ryan was a craftsman at Builders Stair Supply in Crestwood, Missouri, where he contributed to the creation of custom architectural wooden staircases. More than anything, Ryan was a loving father who devoted his days to his children, Jacob and Tessa. He cherished every moment spent with them – whether fishing, attending their sporting events, or cheering them on at band performances. His greatest joy in life came from being present and involved in their lives. Ryan is survived by his children, Jacob (16) and Tessa (11); his parents, Daniel and Karen O’Toole (née Erhart); and his siblings, Timothy O’Toole and Meghan Brown (née O’Toole). He was a brother-in-law to Pamela O’Toole (née Broome) and Dr. Dustin Brown. Ryan was also a fun uncle to his nephews and nieces, always bringing laughter and playfulness to family gatherings.
He will be remembered for his warmth, devotion to his family, and the quiet strength with which he lived his life. Ryan was deeply loved by many and leaves behind a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though his time with us was far too short, his memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
