Robert "Ryan" Cloud

Robert “Ryan” Cloud, 38, of Bloomfield Hills, died March 22, 2023, at his family home on Walloon Lake.

Ryan was born May 22, 1984, in Rochester, the son of Jack Cloud and Roberta “Bobbie” (Young) Tweddle. He grew up in Bloomfield Hills and attended school at Seaholm High School in Birmingham. He was active in football and hockey and graduated in 2002.

He attended DePaul University in Chicago for his undergraduate degree and University of Michigan Law School.
