Ryan Mitchell Nash, the son of Gary and Linda Timberman Nash, was born on December 22, 1968 at Cass County Hospital in Atlantic, Iowa and was baptized at the Oakland Methodist Church. He attended school in Walnut.

After graduating with the Class of 1987, Ryan attended Iowa Western Community College and attained his Associate Degree in Ag Science.
Ryan, who always wanted to farm, started farming with his dad using the equipment bought from his grandfather, along with raising hogs. Ryan was united in marriage to Julie Baxter on July 30, 2005 at the Walnut Presbyterian Church in Walnut, Iowa. Ryan was proud of his Classic '57 Chevy pick-up that he displayed in car shows and many parades.

He loved to fish and enjoyed many trips to Canada. Ryan's last adventure was a ten day trip to Bahia, Brazil where he explored a land and farming investment. It was the highlight of his farming career.
