Ryan Lee Eller, 35, of Rock Hill, SC danced out of his earthly body and into the after-party in the early morning hours of December 20, 2024. 

Ryan was an amazing & loyal friend, an incredible drummer, an indie music super fan, an innovator on the dance floor, a pizza-maker extraordinaire, & so much more. 

More than anything else Ryan was most proud of being the best Dada ever to his young son, Miles J.P. Eller. Ryan’s love for Miles was immense and indescribable. He embraced his role as Dada with pride and excitement. He reveled in all the everyday moments of fatherhood. His love and devotion for Miles are everlasting and will remain an eternal guiding force in his son’s life.

Ryan’s memory will be cherished and shared by many, but especially his wife, Katy Eller, his parents, Jimmy and Robin Eller, his brothers Jeremy Eller and Tyler Eller, maternal grandmother, Barbara Little, Aunt Donna Fowler, Uncle Steven Little, & many cousins and extended family.

Ryan’s joy and infectious laughter made him friends everywhere he went but he held special places in his heart for his friends Adam Annan, Edward Granger, & David Edwards. 

In Heaven Ryan has been happily reunited with his grandfathers, Steve Little and Archie Eller, his grandmothers Margie Bolin and Betty Mae Eller, his friend and soul-brother John A. Pruitt, and beloved pets Buddy, Calvin, Ellie, & Frasier,

The family hopes you will join them in celebrating Ryan’s love and laughter on Saturday, January 4, 2025, at 1 pm at M. L Ford & Sons Funeral Home, 209 N. Main Street, Clover, SC. The family will receive friends following the service.
