Georgia Carpet is a small, family owned business, one that Ryan spent much of his life at. Almost since birth, Ryan has been involved in the company, first spending time here as a child while his father worked, then working for the company himself once he was old enough.

In the last decade, Ryan began to step into a leadership role, eventually culminating in him becoming the president of Georgia Carpet Industries. He left behind a legacy of a hardworking, but kind leader, who was tirelessly devoted to Georgia Carpet. He always treated the employees who worked under him like a second family, and was always cognisent and caring to whatever might be going on in their personal lives.

He also had a love for his Golden Retrievers - Belle, Beast, and Lavender, and he brought them with him to work almost every day. He was a great lover of animals, and it was his idea to host our first ever pet adoption day at Georgia Carpet last year. This is an event that we hope to continue on in his honor.

Outside of work, he was a loving father to his two daughters, and spent most of his time with his family.

He leaves behind a legacy of a man who was kind, compassionate, and caring for all he met. He was the kind of person that we all should aspire to be. He will be greatly missed at Georgia Carpet.
