Ryan Anthony Rutledge, 17, passed away unexpectedly on April 5, 2021. He was the beloved son of Anthony and Valerie (Kuehn) Rutledge; and twin brother of Patrick Francis Rutledge.
Ryan was a junior at Pomperaug High School achieving high honors, and enrolled in numerous AP courses. When he wasn't studying, he was quite the athlete playing every sport imaginable. At school he played lacrosse, football, golf, weight lifting, and was on the ski team. He wasn't just talented in sports though, some of his other talents included playing 3 instruments fluently by ear, watching and investing in the stock market, solving a Rubik's cube in seconds, and being a master chess player. Some of his other hobbies were sailing, saltwater fishing, playing X-Box, and snowmobiling.
Besides his parents and brother, Ryan is survived by his grandparents: Edward and Carol Rutledge, and Joseph and Sharon Kuehn; as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, and other extended family members.
A Mass of the Christian Burial took place today at Sacred Heart Church in Southbury.
