Ryan Joshua Newton Holt

On December 18, 2020, we tragically lost Ryan Joshua Holt to suicide after a lifelong battle with mental illness.
Ryan was born October 9, 1995 in Salt Lake City to Terri Holt and adopted by Ken Holt.
At only 25 years of age, Ryan managed to touch the lives of many, and despite his painful struggles, he was known for finding ways to bring joy to others. He was a “Gift” to all who knew him.
Ryan was a creative and gifted artist; he was known for performing exceptional magic tricks which he taught himself as a young child. He also had an extraordinary talent for drawing and enjoyed writing poetry, singing, and telling jokes and stories.
He was such an open and friendly soul. It was not unusual for him to befriend complete strangers that crossed his path who were drawn by his charismatic charm and authentic personality. Nothing made him happier than making others smile, and most will remember him by that trait.
He will forever be missed by his family and friends. He is survived by his parents, his sisters Shanna, Emily, and Amber, and his brother Brett.
A funeral service will be held at 12:00pm on Tuesday, December 29th at the Adventure Church 352 W 12300 S, Ste 100, Draper, UT 84020, with a viewing one hour prior. For those who wish to attend the service in person, please abide by Covid -19 safety guidelines. Masks will be mandatory. The service will be live streamed on http://vimeo.com/theadventureut
