Ryan Singh
August 3, 1987 - July 17, 2026
Ryan Singh, age 38, of Wilmington, DE, passed away on Friday, July 17, 2026.
Born in Trinidad and Tobago on August 3, 1987, he was a son of Rameshwar Singh and the late Fazeena (Khan) Singh. Ryan earned his bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Sciences from the University of Delaware. He then began working in the banking industry as a compliance and fraud manager. Ryan was a leader who always wanted to challenge himself to advance in his roles at work. Most recently, he served as the AML Complex Investigation Unit Manager at Capitol One.
There weren’t many things Ryan could not do; if he put his mind to it, he got it done. He loved cars and dedicated his free time to working with his hands from building, renovations and working on cars. Ryan had a passion for sports; he loved going golfing and playing soccer. He enjoyed spending every football season cheering on his beloved Philadelphia Eagles. Ryan found peace being by the oceans, spending many hours crabbing and fishing. Dedicated to his faith, he was a member of New Julibee Church. Ryan was artistic, talented and entertaining.
His daughters were his world. Ryan was an amazing father who showed up for the girls’ dance competitions, recitals, field hockey and soccer sporting events. His most cherished memories were made with his family and friends. Ryan was kind hearted and he would move mountains for everyone he loved, along with people he didn’t know. Ryan was a light who touched so many lives. His smile lit up any room he walked in, his laugh was captivating and he always wanted to bring joy to anyone around him. He was a devoted husband, father, son, and brother whose love touched everyone around him. He was deeply loved and will be forever cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Ryan was preceded in death by his mother, Fazeena Singh. He is survived by his loving wife of 8 years, Tabitha A. (Chestnut) Singh; children, Zoe Singh and Ziya Singh; father, Rameshwar Singh; siblings, Vicky Singh and Bryan Singh; father and mother-in-law, Edward and Constance Chestnut; brother-in-law, Brian McLean; and his sister-in-law Danielle McLean.
A visitation for family and friends will be held from 10 am until 11 am on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 1000 North DuPont Parkway, New Castle, DE, where a funeral service will begin at 11 am.

Ryan,
Even though life has taken our family in different directions and we may have drifted apart over the years, I will always be grateful for the memories we shared and the time we had together.
One of the memories that will always stay with me is our Saturday movie nights. Saturdays felt like something we could always look forward to. Zoe was the only girl at the time, and you, Tabitha, Zoe, Uncle Charlie, Bryan, Aunt Bibi, and Uncle Vishnu would cook some food, find a movie, and just enjoy being around each other. Those nights may have seemed simple at the time, but looking back now, I realize how special they really were.
I’ll always remember the laughter, the food, the movies, and most importantly, the feeling of family. Those are the memories I will hold onto and cherish.
I’m truly sorry that life caused our family to drift apart, but I hope you knew that you were always family and always will be. I wish we could have had more time, more conversations, and more Saturday nights together. I hope you are at peace, reunited with Aunt Bibi, and watching over your family from above.
Rest easy, Ryan. You will be missed, and the memories we made will never be forgotten.

Word cannot express how saddened I am with this harsh reality. I cut Ryan’s hair on occasion for the last 6 years and he was a solid, good spirited person. He absolutely was obsessed with his daughters and always spoke of them any given chance. I have a daughter and he would lend advice on so many things regarding “girldad” fatherhood. Toward the end he seemed as if he was battling some serious issues with his health, mental health and grief in regard to his mother’s sudden passing. Although I could not help him as much as I wanted to, I remember one of our last interactions was him wanting to pray. We prayed together and talked for quite a while. Thats what I will remember most about Ryan. He really was a “Give you his shirt off his back” kind of person. His departure will certainly affect all those who were lucky enough to habe been a part of his journey. Rest in paradise Ryan. You will be missed… ❤️

Ryan,
Today is your birthday, and instead of celebrating with you, T, Zoe, and Zya, I’m writing this with a heavy heart. Happy Heavenly Birthday, bro.
You are missed more than words can ever express. The love you poured into your family, your friends, and everyone who knew you left a mark that will never fade. I hope you knew just how much you meant to all of us.
In the ten short years we were blessed to know you, you and T became so much more than friends you became family. Even though Mike and I were older (which you never let me forget 😂), you both taught us so much. You showed us that life is meant to be lived, that it’s okay to dream bigger, and to go after the life we wanted for our family.
You taught Mike how to build things… and occasionally how to tear them apart first. 😂 You taught me how to make my favorite Caribbean dishes because you were tired of me spending money at restaurants every week. Those are memories I’ll always smile about.
Some of my favorite memories will always be our beach trips, watching you let Zoe, Zya, and MJ bury you in the sand while T and I relaxed, pretending we were there alone while you and Mike chased the kids around. 😂
The winery trip for T’s birthday, that was actually the first winery Mike and I had ever been to. You taught me how to cook live crabs, stew chicken, and curry. I’ll always smile when I think about the wrestling matches you T and the girls had in our living room, or you and Mike tearing down our mantel to remodel our fireplace. Every one of those memories is a gift.
Most of all, thank you for being a great friend, brother, and uncle to our boys that you were. Mike loved you like a brother, and there isn’t a day that goes by that you aren’t thought of or missed.
T, Zoe, and Zya you will always be family to Mike and me. We love you, and we will always be here for you.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Ryan. We love you, bro. Rest peacefully until we meet again. 💙

To my brother,
Words can’t express the pain I feel losing you. To find a friend, a true friend, is something I treasure. You weren’t only my friend but my brother. You trusted me with your family, your girls; who I adopted as my sister and nieces. We hung out, we talked, we shared stories, shared memories. These times are cherished and will never be forgotten. If it’s one thing my brother has taught me, it’s that “you don’t know if you don’t ask”. Whether thats making deals at the dealership, getting discounts at restaurants, or just getting the most out of money we spent, I will always appreciate that lesson. Selfishly I still want you to be here, but God has a purpose for things regardless if we don’t understand them. You will always have a special place in my heart bro.
To my sister and my nieces; Brother and Uncle Mike will always be there for you in any capacity I can. I love you more than you will ever know.
To Ryan’s family, my condolences and love go out to you. I can’t imagine the pain for you guys. I love you all and will be praying for you.

Blessed to have met and worked with you Ryan during my Newark Kohl’s years (2002-2025) and was a time period known to many of us long time associates as the good old days when we looked out and work together as a family. Honored to say I worked with an awesome and caring young man. Love and Prayers to your family Ryan and until we meet again.
Paula Riley
Our deepest sympathies to the family. Neighbors Paula and Julio

Ryan,
Losing you has left an emptiness that words cannot describe, but your legacy will live on. You were so much more than my brother, you were my best friend. Thank you for every laugh, every memory, and every lesson. I will carry you with me always. As my daughter reminded me, “God does not make mistakes.” While it’s hard to understand why you were taken from us so soon, I find comfort in believing there is a purpose greater than we can see. Until we meet again, I love you, and I will miss you every single day.
Love,
Vicky

Ryan was the epitome of fun and kindness. I have known Ryan since we were teenagers, and he always made it clear to not mess around with his cousin, who is now my husband. Ryan had a way of filling every room with generosity, warmth, and genuine happiness. Those are the qualities I will always remember him for.
But those were not his only attributes. Ryan was also an incredible negotiator. I remember on his wedding night how he managed to get a few extra rooms complimentary for friends and family so everyone could stay a longer and continue celebrating him and Tabitha. I also remember when he went to buy his new truck and walked away with paying way less than advertised. Ryan never walked away from a deal without making sure it was a good one.
More than anything, Ryan was completely devoted to his girls. He loved doing fun activities with Zoe and was almost always teasing and joking around with Tabitha. When Ziya came along, his heart became even fuller. He truly loved being a husband and father, and that love was evident in everything he did.
Ryan also loved to cook. Whether it was pelau, curry, or any Trini dish, he embraced the culture wholeheartedly and genuinely felt like a Trinidadian at heart.
I will always cherish the memories of our trips together to New York, Chicago, and the unforgettable time when Ryan and Reid booked a cabin in Vermont when it was supposed to be somewhere else. Those adventures gave us stories that we still laugh about today.
Ryan and Tabitha always made us feel at home whenever we visited. In fact, our favorite place to be was simply at home with them. Ryan and Reid would be in the kitchen cooking, while Tabitha and I relaxed on the couch, laughing at all of Ryan’s jokes and stories. He brought so much joy to ordinary moments.
Ryan was a lot of fun, but most importantly, he was a good, genuine person. He cared deeply about the people in his life and made everyone around him feel valued and loved.
Our daughter knows who Ryan is, even though she only had the opportunity to meet him once. I only wish that had not been the case.
Ryan may no longer be with us physically, but he will always be remembered in our home and in our hearts. We will miss him immensely, cherish the memories we shared, and continue to speak of him often.
Ryan, we will always love you.
