Ryan Blake House
Ryan Blake House, 52, of Beaumont, died September 14, 2025. He was born May 30, 1973, to Sally McDonald House and Jack House, in Lubbock, Texas.
From the very beginning of his life, Ryan brought a sense of fun and mischief into the House family. His father was so proud to have a son, and they shared a close, special bond throughout his life.
Ryan loved his country, and one of his passions was Homeland Security following the attacks of September 11th. He attended classes at Lamar University and San Antonio College and proudly received his Certificate of Completion in Homeland Security from Lamar Institute of Technology in 2007. He created a very special memory when he took his mom to New York City for an anniversary memorial service.
Ryan will long be remembered for his kind and tender heart and his desire to help others. He never met a stranger and loved hearing other people’s stories and offering support where he could. In her words, his mother says that he “spoiled her rotten” during the last years of his life. He made it his mission to see to her every need, big and small.
He loved Jesus and studying his Word. And Ryan’s many kindnesses to family, friends and strangers reflected this. Although he was plagued with serious health issues for the majority of his life, Ryan remained positive and grateful for the blessings he had – even having a “top 10 list” of the things he was most grateful for in his life.
Survivors include his mother, Sally House; sisters, Laurie Ritchel and her husband, Mark, of Beaumont and Theresa Mathews and her husband, James, of Beaumont; nieces, Kathryn Kiker of Charlotte, North Carolina and Megan Mathews of Beaumont; aunt, Colleen Marks of Huntsville; and cousins, Donna Laverell and her husband, Les, of Huntsville and Denice Crosby and her husband, Daniel, of Montner, Languedoc-Roussillon, France.
He is preceded in death by his father, Jack House.

Ryan you will be missed brother!
He was a good friend. He was always making an effort to include me in the things he was doing. We would sometimes got to church together, and he would take me to his ‘meetings’ when I was feeling down. I regret that we had a falling out a month ago, and the incident seems so stupid now. I’ll see you again one day buddy, and you can show me around!
Laurie, So sorry for your loss.
Your kindness and love for others will me missed. I met you at Fellowship and I’ll cherish the good times.
Fly high- you had a great impact on many.
Your Friend,
Julie
Ryan was a special man. He was not ashamed of the gospel of our Lord and his faith. He remained strong and encouraging, persevering through his most painful and difficult times. He shared his wisdom, peace and love with everyone. I will miss his sweet hugs and smile. I loved him, my friend, my brother in Jesus Christ.
He lived his dash! SIP

My friend, as you knew your destination and spoke of it often, you are there resting in the arms of your Savior, Jesus Christ, with no tears or pain. You showed me how to embody the words of this song. I know you knew it well.
“Stay Strong”
Danny Gokey
I’ve been waiting for breakthrough
I’ve been praying for change
I know You’ll work it out for good, but how long will it take?
I’ve been asking for healing
And I’m not gonna lie
I’m ready for the miracle, God let it be this time
But if I never see the promise
On this side of the grave
My hope might be shaken
But my faith will never break
Because I know the day is coming
When You’ll right all of the wrong
So I’ll praise You in the waiting
And my faith will stay strong
God, you taught me trust you
You showed me how to believe
You’re the author and the finisher of what You start in me
So I’m not gonna doubt it
I’m gonna hold on to peace
‘Cause If I have You and nothing else, I still have everything
‘Cause if I never see the promise
On this side of the grave
My hope might be shaken
But my faith will never break
Because I know the day is coming
When You’ll right all of the wrong
So I’ll praise You in the waiting
And my faith will stay strong
I’ll count it joy when I am tested
‘Cause you bring beauty from my pain
It’s never wasted
But if I never see the promise
On this side of the grave
My hope might be shaken
But my faith will never break
Because I know the day is coming
When You’ll right all of the wrong
So I’ll praise You in the waiting
And my faith will stay strong
Because I know the day is coming
When You’ll right all of the wrong
So I’ll praise You in the waiting
And my faith will stay strong, will stay strong”
Having you as a friend and confidant was the joy of our friendship. You showed me how to trust, have Hope, and understand what Belief and Faith look like. You also showed me how to praise Him in the waiting on this side of the grave and how to stay strong for the beauty that comes out of pain.
Thank you.
I will miss you until we see each other again in His glory.
Rest in peace my old friend and brother in Christ. Long live Black Eyed Pea!! We had some good times working there!!! We had some good times at Fellowship also. Your not in pain anymore friend….you will be greatly missed. God put us together recently in that convenient store parking lot….that was his plan for us.
I only knew Ryan for the last year and a half, but he had a true positive impression on my life. His deep faith helped me stay positive and moving forward. He will be sorely missed. Until we meet again my friend.
Ryan was and still will be a true friend to Vanessa and myself. I and many other of Ryan’s friends will truly miss him. Condolences to the family and everyone that will miss him.
REST EASY MY FRIEND.
Joe & Vanessa Guerrero
Enjoy the serenity, brother! See you at The Big Meeting!
