Ryan Francis Gajeski

Ryan Gajeski; of Lake Orion, Michigan; age 45; passed away on October 26, 2025. Ryan is the loving father of William, and RJ. He is survived by the mother of his children Jenny Gajeski. He is also survived by his parents, Ron and Delores Gajeski; sister Lisa Tivy; nephews Lucas and Jacob; and many loving extended family and friends.

Ryan graduated from Lake Orion High School in 1998 and went on to build a career as a proud Union electrician with Ford Motor Company, where he dedicated over 23 years of service.

Ryan’s spirit was larger than life. He was a man who could light up any room he walked into — whether it was on the basketball court, a golf course, or a karaoke stage passionately performing a Notorious B.I.G. classic. His love for music, sports, and WuTang was contagious. Ryan was an avid sports fan enthusiast and enjoyed watching and attending sporting events and concerts with friends and family. Above all, Ryan’s greatest joy and pride in life came from being a father.

Ryan will be remembered for his warmth, humor, loyalty, intelligence and the way he made everyone feel like a friend. His legacy lives on in the laughter, stories, and love he shared so freely with everyone, fortunate enough to truly know him.

A celebration of life service will be held on Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at Sparks-Griffin Funeral Home in Lake Orion. The family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to assist Ryan’s children in the days ahead.
