It is with deep sorrow that we remember Ryan Sabin of Colorado Springs, whose sudden passing has left family, friends, and the soccer community grieving a profound loss.
Ryan was a devoted member of Centennial 38 and a passionate supporter of the Colorado Rapids. Known for his unwavering enthusiasm, Ryan was a familiar and beloved presence at matches—often found behind the grill, sharing food, laughter, and camaraderie with fellow fans. His signature smile and warm spirit made every gathering brighter, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
During a Wednesday night Open Cup match at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park, Ryan experienced a medical emergency and sadly passed away. The news has sent waves of grief through the Rapids community, where he was more than a supporter—he was family.
Beyond the stands, Ryan built a life defined by dedication and skill. He worked as a Systems Administrator with Jacobs Technology, applying his expertise in network systems administration, a field he studied at IntelliTec College. His professionalism and commitment carried through in everything he did.
To his loved ones, Ryan was cherished deeply. He was a friend, a relative, and a constant source of positivity and support. His kindness and ability to bring people together created bonds that will endure far beyond his passing.
In tribute to Ryan, Centennial 38 has planned a moment of applause in the 44th minute of their next home match, honoring the joy and passion he brought to the group. The Colorado Rapids will also recognize his memory with black armbands and a moment of silence—gestures that reflect the deep respect and love the community holds for him.
Though his life was cut short, Ryan’s legacy lives on in the friendships he built, the memories he created, and the spirit he shared so freely.
Ryan Sabin will be forever remembered, deeply missed, and always honored.
May he rest in peace.
