==Personal life==
Ryan was born in New York City, USA to his father Joseph P. Ryan and his mother, and rose to prominence as a skier, winning the National Ski Association's junior downhill championship at Mount Rose, Nevada, in 1957.
==Death==
Ryan was killed during the Coupe Internationale des Juniors Formula Junior race in Rheims on July 2, 1962, after colliding with Bill Moss which caused both cars to veer off the road at high speed and crash. Moss survived the accident, but Ryan's injuries were more severe and he died in a Paris hospital shortly afterwards. Ryan was only 22 years old, which meant that a long future ahead of him was tragically cut short.
