Ryan "Shine" McCarthy

December 21, 1982 — June 21, 2025

Brownwood, Texas

In the heart of Texas, under Houston's vast sky, Justin Ryan McCarthy, known as Ryan, waved goodbye. His journey began in '82, one winter's dawn, yet in summer of '25, he was tragically gone. A motorcycle lover, with the wind in his hair, Adventures he sought, with a spirit quite rare. Through life's winding roads and unforeseen bends, Ryan rode on with smiles, making memories with friends. A man of the faith, with a Christian heart's beat, He walked with the Lord and never knew defeat. His laughter and love were like a radiant beacon's glow, guiding his children on the path they should go. Ashlyn, Laylah, Riley, and Levi, his pride, Grew strong and kind with their father as their guide. Charlene White, his mother, so gentle and wise, Nurtured his dreams under Texas's wide skies. A Project Manager with skill and finesse, At Jomar Electric in Austin, he did nothing less than lead with integrity, passion, and drive, Ensuring the projects he managed would thrive. His life was a tapestry of joy and zest, for in each moment, he sought out the best. To laugh, to love, to ride, to explore, With Ryan, life was never a bore. Remember him for the joy that he spread, For the way that he lived, and the life that he led. With a quote that echoes from Frost's snowy wood, "I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the good. "As the sun sets on his story, so bold and so bright, We'll look to the stars and see his light. Justin Ryan McCarthy, Ryan to his kin, May you ride on in heaven, where new adventures begin.
