Ryan Quinn Chamberlain

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Ryan Quinn Chamberlain on August, 21, 2025 at his home in St. George, Utah. He was our hero, son, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and dear friend.

Through our grief we find comfort knowing he has embarked on his next great adventure.

Ryan Quinn Chamberlain was born October 4, 1949 in St. George, Utah, to Quinn and Sylvia Jones Chamberlain. He grew up in Cedar City, Utah where he played little league baseball and enjoyed playing the piano. He graduated from Cedar High and attended CSU (now SUU). He had an amazing memory for the scientific facts he learned.

A lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ryan faithfully served a mission in Argentina, where he shared his testimony and love for the gospel with humility and heart. His faith guided his actions and shaped the devoted husband, father, and friend he would become.

He lived a life defined by faith, family, friendship, and a deep love for the outdoors. A true country boy through and through, Ryan found peace and joy in the simple things—fly fishing in a quiet lake, hunting in the early morning light, panning for gold, or camping under a starlit sky. He had a deep appreciation for nature and all of God’s creations. He wouldn’t pass up a chance to tell you the campfire version of his favorite hunting story “The Big One.”

Ryan married the love of his life, Karen Lee, and together they built a home full of warmth, laughter, and love. He was a proud and dedicated father to their four children—Amber, Kimberly, Michael and Nichole. They spent many hours making memories together.

Ryan worked tirelessly to provide for his family, first as a skilled butcher, and later as a dependable facilities maintenance technician for the Washington County School District. He took pride in a job well done and was respected for his quiet strength and unwavering work ethic. His positive outlook and optimism brightened the lives of everyone around him.

Ryan loved old westerns, country music, and riding his beloved horse, Banjo. These weren’t just pastimes—they were a reflection of his spirit: steady, grounded, and full of heart. He formed lifelong bonds with his friends, many of whom he considered brothers, and was the kind of man others could count on without question.

He is survived and cherished by his devoted wife of 53 years, Karen, and their four children, who carry forward his legacy of love, resilience, and quiet strength: Amber (Jess) Milne, Kimberly (Kevin) Stephens, Michael (Jessie) Chamberlain, and Nichole Chamberlain; his loving mother Sylvia, sister Madelyn (Larry) Liston, and brothers Ferl (Tina) Chamberlain and Curtis (Ava) Chamberlain. Ryan was the proud grandfather of 12 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren, with one more expected next month. Among his many accomplishments in life, one of his greatest, was being the best, most devoted grandpa. His grandkids were the light of his life, and he poured his heart into creating memories with each of them.

Ryan Quinn Chamberlain lived a good life—a life of service, sacrifice, and enduring love. He leaves behind a legacy that will echo through generations.
