Ryan was born December 17, 1972 at Dickinson, the son of Roger and Darlene (Binstock) Volesky. He grew up on his parent’s place west of Dickinson. Ryan attended school in South Heart, graduating from there in 1991. He later attended college at Dickinson State and Montana State. Ryan returned to Dickinson where he opened Dakota Design & Woodworks, and he spent the last 16 years designing and building custom millwork. Ryan’s skills were not limited to woodworking and constructing buildings, but was a jack-of-all-trades in fixing and designing things. He was innovative, adventurous and willing to try anything. Ryan enjoyed snowmobile racing, skiing and traveling to wherever he could to places such as Thailand, Ecuador, the Panama Canal, New York, and Hawaii. He enjoyed spending time with his dad and helping him restore cars. Ryan had many friends and made many more wherever he went. He always put other’s needs ahead of his own and made his last gift of his organs to those in need. Ryan will always be remembered for his sense of humor and practical jokes. He was especially fond of his niece and was known as “Uncle Ryan” to many of his friends’ children. Survivors include his parenets: Roger and Darlene Volesky, Dickinson; two sisters: Dana (Ron) Schock, Dickinson and Dynelle (Isaac), Virginia Beach, VA; a niece Evey Anne; a grandmother, Anna Binstock, Dickinson, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by grandparents: Fritz Binstock and Vincent and Ella Volesky and a godfather, Uncle Allan Volesky.
