Ryan Joseph Mitchell, beloved son, husband, father, friend and Fire Captain. He was loved and respected by so many.\u00a0 Surfer, natural athlete, adventure seeker, Jack of all trades, master of many.<\/p>\n

Known as Lil Michelin man as a babe, Punkin in his youth, RJ by his sports teams, Pepper (one of the spice boyz) by the Locos Mocos crew, Noodle by his surfer family.\u00a0 He excelled in all that he attempted and lived his life for each moment. Ryan had a heart full of truth, class and character established on a foundation of moral clarity.\u00a0 His opinion was often counter to current culture, but he was never afraid to express it as it was founded in truth.<\/p>\n

Captain Patrick Walker: \u201cRyan was not just a Firefighter, Ryan was a CalFire Captain and he was an exceptional one\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ryan knew in his early teens that he wanted to be a firefighter.\u00a0 Prior to his High school graduation he began to seek volunteer opportunities at various stations as directed by various department friends of the family.\u00a0 Soon after graduation from high school he attended Mira Mar College for fire science classes.\u00a0 Ryan\u2019s exemplary fifteen year carrier with CalFire, San Diego County Fire, Helitack and US Forest Service and his numerous qualifications are the hallmarks of a career dedicated to serving communities throughout the state.\u00a0 He loved his job and the men and women he served with, always putting others first.\u00a0 He is and will be sorely missed by so many, but we will rejoice in the time we have had to live, laugh and love with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
