Ryan Michael Lesher of Churchville passed away unexpectedly on August 30, 2014. He was 15.

Ryan was set to embark on his sophomore year as a student at Council Rock High School South where he excelled both academically and athletically.

Prior to attending Council Rock South, Ryan was a student at Richboro Middle School and Maureen M. Welch Elementary.

An all-around sports enthusiast, Ryan loved participating (and winning) in Fantasy Football, Baseball, and Basketball. He was a contender in multiple fantasy leagues. Ryan also loved spending time in the mountains boating, tubing and riding in the golf cart.

School and athletics kept Ryan busy but he still found time to selflessly volunteer working with Athletes Helping Athletes, Special Olympics, Buddy Club and Camp Invention.

Ryan possessed a zest for life that was contagious. He will be sorely missed by all who came to know and love him.
