Ryan A. Burns 1992-2026

NORTH CANTON — Ryan A. Burns, 33, passed away peacefully yet unexpectedly, surrounded by his family, on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

He was born June 28, 1992, in Akron to Randall and Pamela Robarge Burns. Ryan was a 2010 graduate of Hoover High School, where he proudly participated in wrestling. He later attended Kent State University, where he graduated with his associate degree in accounting.

Ryan worked for Eagle Loan in Canton, where he was an assistant branch manager. He was a devoted fan of Cleveland sports and The Ohio State Buckeyes, and fall was always his favorite season. He had a special love for dogs, and whenever there was one around, that’s exactly where you would find him.

Ryan will be remembered for his quick wit, sarcastic humor and the ability to make everyone around him laugh with the perfect one-liner. Above all else, Ryan deeply loved his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Alan Burns; maternal grandparents, Haldon and Margaret Robarge; mother-in-law, Cynthia Dustman; cousin, Tara Robarge; aunt, Patti Valentich; and in-laws: Violet Dustman, Richard Orman Dustman, Mary Grover and John “Mike” Grover.

Ryan is survived by his wife of four years, Haley Burns; parents, Randall Burns and Pamela Burns (Dave Kinion); paternal grandmother, Carol Burns; brothers, Nathan (Collette), Conner and Adam Burns; nieces, Cora and Amelia; father-in-law, John (Brenda Stevens) Dustman; sister-in-law, Sarah Dustman; brother-in-law, Matthew Dustman; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

A celebration of life will be Sunday, May 17, 2026, at the Greentown Athletic Club in Uniontown. Visitation will begin at 1 p.m. A celebration of life service will begin at 2 p.m. with a luncheon following the service.

The family would like to thank the staff of The Cleveland Clinic for their kind and compassionate care, Eagle Loan, The Bistro at Oakwood Square and The Goddard School of Jackson for all of the love and support.

Arrangements entrusted to the Mark R. Vrabel Funeral Home, North Canton, 330-452-4041.
