Ryan Craven's Obituary
Ryan Craven, age 45, of Fayetteville passed away Sunday, May 17, 2026. He was born June 10, 1980, in Omaha, Nebraska to Charles and Trudie Craven. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Ryan is survived by his loving wife, Rebekah; his son, River Craven of Fayetteville; his sister, Kelly Armstrong and her husband Jason of Winter Garden, Florida; niece, Joslyn Armstrong; and nephew, Vincent Armstrong.
Family was everything to Ryan, and he took immense pride in his son’s accomplishments, celebrating each milestone with joy. He loved spending quiet moments with Rebekah. He had a passion for good food and a love for sports, especially his cherished Nebraska Cornhuskers. And boy did he love spoiling his cat Jackie. Ryan’s wry smile and enthusiasm for everything he held dear will be remembered by all who knew him.
Visitation will be held at 5:00 PM on Friday, May 22, 2026, with the memorial service to follow at 6:00 PM at Moore's Chapel Funeral Home.
