Obituary of Ryan Ojibway

Ryan James Ojibway, 45, of Fort Atkinson passed away on Thursday, January 14, 2021.
Ryan was born on December 25, 1975 in Chippewa Falls to Dale and Brenda (Dimmick) Ojibway.  He grew up with a deep love for his hometown and playing baseball as a Cardinal for Chippewa Falls High School.  He attended college at UW-Whitewater where he met his future wife in 1995 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1999.  He wed Sabrina Maul in 2003 and they welcomed their first child, a boy they named Connor, in 2009.
He enjoyed cheering on the Packers, the Brewers, the Badgers and the Bucks, watching the movie Tombstone an inordinate amount and spending time with family and friends.  All that knew him enjoyed his sense of humor, his wife would tell you it’s the main reason she married him.  Most of all, he loved his son.  Nothing gave him more joy in this life than watching him grow and making him laugh.  Some of his proudest moments were cheering Connor on as he competed in youth baseball and at various swim meets.  If you were to ask Ryan what his greatest achievement was, his immediate answer was always “Connor”.
