Enfield Obituary: Ryan Viveiros, 36

Ryan Joseph Viveiros passed away peacefully on July 27th at Riverside Hospital in Columbus, Ohio with his wife by his side.

Ryan grew up in Enfield before moving to Ohio in the summer of 2017, where he married Jennifer Nichols Viveiros whom he lovingly referred to as his soul mate. From the time Ryan was a young child it was easy to recognize his offbeat sense of humor and his innovative ability to create laughter out of ordinary situations. Along with making people laugh, he also loved the challenge of a good debate which always left an impression on those he met.

He had a deep admiration for those who dared to be different and if you were a friend of his, he thought of you as family. He had a clever way of choosing the perfect nickname for many which usually stuck with them.

Ryan’s huge love of music included playing the guitar and piano, attending concerts and listening to his favorite bands ranging from the Ramones and Green Day to NOFX and Gwar.

Proving that he was ahead of his time, in his early years, his witty yet sometimes mischievous pranks clearly would have made him a YouTube sensation, from rigging kitchen faucets to spray the unsuspecting user to filling a room full of balloons of someone with a phobia of latex, it was never a dull moment.

Family and friends enjoyed his creativity behind the lens of a camcorder, particularly the one entitled “The Secret of the Lawn” which was originally produced as a Father’s Day gift for his stepdad. Ryan will always be remembered for his giving heart and kind soul as a son, brother, nephew, uncle cousin friend, husband and stepfather.

He leaves behind his wife Jennifer Nichols Viveiros and stepdaughters Caitlyn and Chloe, his mother and stepfather, Diane (Dunn) Sidway and Todd Sidway, his father and stepmother Jay and Ann Viveiros, sister Amber Sidway Pica and her husband Jose, sister Jayme Viveiros and nephew Declan, brother Shaun Sidway, nephews Hunter and Tucker and niece Morrigan, stepbrother James Gottier and stepsister Janet Willette, sister-in-law, Renie Sullivan, grandmother Donna Dunn, Aunts and Uncles Sharon Viveiros, Donna and Wayne Conlon, Darcy and Joe Cricco, Rick Dunn and many cousins.

A short service will be held on October 19, 2018 at St Patrick’s Cemetery in Enfield at 11:00 am, where Ryan’s ashes will be buried alongside of his grandparents Jaymes and Catherine Viveiros, followed by a celebration of life at The American Legion in Enfield from 12 pm to 5 pm.
