Ryan E. Cain. 42, of Rochester, was surrounded by his loving family when he went home to be with our Lord, in the early morning hours on September 1, 2026, at Ascension-St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis.
On December 12, 1983, Ryan Edward Cain was born in Muncie. He was a treasured son of Brian Edward and Amy Lou Carpenter Cain. Growing up near Hartford City, he was a 2002 graduate of Blackford High School.
On October 12, 2024, Ryan married the love of his life, Eleesha Rose Daily, at the Heartland Church in Rochester. Ryan was a man of strong faith and was a member of the Heartland Church. During the summer of 2025, Ryan rededicated his life to Jesus Christ when he was baptized in the waters of Lake Maxinkuckee near Culver Beach by Pastor Jim.
An avid collector, Ryan was always locked on to vintage items from the 90’s era, especially gaming systems, toys, and vintage clothing. He also had a vast collection of shoes.
Gifted with his hands and intuitive artistic abilities, Ryan created custom crosses to share his faith and the love for his Lord. Hand selecting various species of wood, each cross was unique and a special work of art. As an artist, Ryan was able to express himself with colored pencils, charcoal, or air brushing. He spent many hours in his workshop creating and building custom gifts for family and special friends.
