A funeral Mass for longtime Tucson sportscaster Dan Ryan will be held Saturday in his native Albuquerque, the family said. Saturdayβs funeral will be held at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, with burial to follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
Ryan died late last month at the age of 64. A cause of death has not been determined, according to the Pima County Medical Examiner.
Ryan spent 20 years as the sports director at KVOA-TV following stints in stations in Albuquerque and Denver. He worked as a spokesperson for Rosemont Copper Company after retiring from television in 2007.
Ryan is survived by a wife, son Mickey, daughter Bridget, and three grandchildren.
Many of Ryanβs Ch. 4 colleagues attended a celebration of life service Wednesday at Eastside Calvary Chapel.
