Daniel J. Ryan

April 20, 2022

Daniel J. Ryan, 48, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Charlestown on April 20. He was the husband of Kalie Pantalone Ryan. The son of the late Virginia Ryan and Daniel Ryan, he attended schools in the Chariho district prior to beginning a career in the retail industry. Work in the restaurant business eventually provided an opportunity to run a business of his own, Finbacks Restaurant in Galilee. Finbacks was a popular gathering spot year-round in that fishing community, and Dan was part of the reason for that. He hosted numerous benefit events for local charities and community members at the restaurant over the years. Always wanting to be on or near the water, Dan enjoyed fishing, especially going out with friends for deep sea fishing excursions. Among his hobbies, he loved to tinker with machines and was an inveterate fixer-upper, bringing old furniture and broken computers back to life. In addition to his wife, he is survived by two aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. Funeral services are private. A celebration of his life is being planned for a later date.
