MBKU was sad to hear of these alumni and friends recently lost. Here we honor those whose memory will always be part of our university family.


Ryan Zamanigan, OD, ’15 (Huntington Beach, CA)

Dr. Ryan Zamanigan passed away on July 24, 2016, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Ryan suffered a ruptured cerebral aneurysm while vacationing with relatives in Port Aransas. He was born May 16, 1987, grew up in Huntington Beach, California, and enjoyed a very active, happy childhood. Ryan received his Doctor of Optometry from Southern California College of Optometry in 2015 and most recently was practicing as an optometrist in Texas. While at SCCO, he was a member of the Private Practice Club and Omega Delta fraternity. Ryan wanted to enjoy everything life had to offer. He had a passion for seeking out new experiences and loved to share these experiences with friends and family. He cared deeply for the people in his life and treated everyone he met with compassion and respect. In his memory, the Dr. Ryan P. Zamanigan Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established at SCCO, Marshall B. Ketchum University. MBKU extends a special thanks to those who have generously contributed to the Dr. Ryan P. Zamanigan Memorial Scholarship Fund.
