| Pat Ryan |
Ryan was diagnosed with colon cancer in September 2018. During the pandemic, his cancer returned to a point where more chemo was necessary. Ryan hosted The WISE Guys in WISE Sports radio 1310 and 970.
Former News 13 Sports Director Stan Pamfilis appeared many times on The WISE Guys show and said Ryan's love of local sports was just one of his many talents.
"He gave voice to everybody," Pamfilis said of Ryan. "I don't care what the sport was. You might think it's trivial, he never did. If kids were competing, coaches were coaching, and they were in our area -- he loves our area -- then he would put something on or try to promote it or try to make it even bigger than it was, and so that was a special gift he had. He's one of those universally loved guys."
Pat also formerly worked at ABC News 13 and was an outstanding bass player in a local band.
He remained positive throughout the treatment process and served as an inspiration to others undergoing cancer treatment.
