EditorCouncil pays tribute to former mayor and disability campaigner, Cllr Jordan Ryan
Council Leader Cllr Jon Harvey described the news as a shock and expressed “extreme sorrow” on behalf of the authority.
“Cllr Ryan was a man of values and principles who was extremely proud to represent his constituents,” said Cllr Harvey. “His passionate and thoughtful contributions to Council meetings will be sorely missed by every Member, no matter their political colours. I pass on our deepest condolences to Cllr Ryan’s family and friends.”
A life of service to Fishguard and Pembrokeshire
Cllr Ryan was a former mayor of Fishguard and Goodwick, reflecting his long‑standing commitment to local public service. He joined Pembrokeshire County Council in May 2022, initially elected as a Labour representative before continuing as an unaffiliated councillor.
He also served as Chairman of the Policy and Pre‑decision Overview and Scrutiny Committee for a year, and was widely recognised for his campaigning on disability issues.
Remembered for integrity and dedication
Colleagues said Cllr Ryan’s contributions were marked by integrity and dedication, and that his absence would be felt across the chamber and the wider community.
Messages of condolence have been extended to his family, friends, and constituents.
