He was born March 25, 1959, in Galesburg, the son of Richard Scott and Joceile H. Knutson Ryden. He was married to Cindy L. Wingo from 1988 until 2000.
He is survived by his mother, Joceile H. Knutson; three brothers, David A. Ryden, Kevin E. (Tracey) Ryden and Michael E. (Janice) Ryden; and two sisters, Annette Gustafson and Patricia A. (Ron) Baumgardner, all of Galesburg; six nieces; five nephews; two great-nieces; three great-nephews; two stepchildren, Jason and Jami, whom he loved very much; and his life long best friend, Scott Price.

He served in the Army.
Dick worked for the city of Galesburg in the Street, Park and Water departments. He also worked for the Galva Foundry and Abingdon Pottery. He graduated from Galesburg High School in 1977.
He enjoyed softball. He played first base on several leagues through the years. He was our "Babe Ruth". He was a true fisherman at heart and also enjoyed mushrooming. He would do anything for anyone, he had a heart of gold and only saw the good in people. He was a "unique individual". He did it his way!
Cremation will be accorded. No services are scheduled. Hinchliff-Pearson-West is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences may be made at www.h-p-w.com.
