Ronan Andrew Lynch born Savannah Joy Mackin, 28

Ronan Andrew Lynch, born Savannah Joy Mackin on June 11, 1997, went to be with his ancestors on Jan. 9, 2026. Ronan was surrounded by family from near and far, as well as their loving partner Nox, when passing on due to complications from a lung disease that was battled for the past 14 years.  

Family was important to Ronan, from nieces and nephews to his mum, who loved him fiercely, to the fur baby kitties that made their house a home; all were loved deeply. 

Ronan, having a passion toward advocating for the outliers and being a voice for those treated unjustly, would ask everyone to love unconditionally and to accept people for who they are, without judgment, in his honor. 

A celebration of Ronan's life is being planned for July 6 at 1 p.m. at the Birch Grove Community Center.
