Ryan K. Ainsworth was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on October 29, 1985 and transcended this physical realm on April 27, 2025.

From a young age, Ryan was passionate about the arts - music, in particular. Playing in bands with friends, at church, planning DIY shows, attending shows, and collecting any and all knowledge he could. Music was the center of his life, his passion, and his calling. After moving to Valencia to attend California Institute of the Arts, Ryan began his career in California where he was proud to run the sound for the historic music venue, The Whisky a Go Go. In addition, he spent over a decade touring around the world as an audio engineer and tour manager for numerous bands. Most recently, he was the production manager at the Tulsa Theater and was working to build his dream music studio. The irreplaceable memories made with his friends, bandmates, and his fiancée, Brittany, will live on and be remembered by enjoying and celebrating what he loved most-traveling, connecting with friends, and most importantly making music. We are forever grateful of the impact he had on our lives, and we celebrate his celestial homecoming.

Ryan was preceded in death by his father, Jon Ainsworth; mother, Donna Kay Anneler; grandfather, Donald K. Harris; and grandmother, Joan M. Harris; He is survived by his Uncle, Keith Harris; Half-Brother, Matthew Ainsworth; Half-Sister, Ashley Ainsworth; and Cousin, Kevin Harris. He is also survived by his fiancée and partner of 17 years, Brittany Carter, who urges you to make a lot of noise in his honor.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, May 9th at 1:00PM at Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Home in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, as well as a graveside service immediately thereafter at Woodland Cemetery in Sand Springs, Oklahoma.
