Ryan Crane, a JPMorgan (JPM) Chase & Co.
employee who in a 14-year career at the New York-based bank rose
to executive director of a unit that trades blocks of stocks for
clients, has died. He was 37.
He died on Feb. 3 at his Stamford, Connecticut, home,
according to the website of Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home
in Greenwich, Connecticut. The cause of death will be determined
when a toxicology report is completed in about six weeks, said a
spokeswoman for the state’s chief medical examiner.
Crane started at JPMorgan in equities trading after
graduating from Harvard University in 1999, according to his
profile on the LinkedIn Corp. website. Following promotions, he
worked as an executive director, or a rank above vice president
and below managing director, in the bank’s Americas Program
Trading group. Program traders handle transactions in baskets of
at least 15 stocks, often for mutual-fund clients seeking to
rebalance index-linked portfolios.
“Ryan was a beloved colleague who will be dearly missed,”
Justin Perras, a JPMorgan spokesman, said in an e-mailed
statement. “Our thoughts and sympathy are with his family and
friends.”
Ryan Henry Crane was born on Jan. 8, 1977, to Mary Jo and
Lex Crane. He grew up in Long Valley, New Jersey, and in 1995
graduated from the Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey,
where he was recognized as Scholar-Athlete of the Year as a
senior and named to the All-American Lacrosse Team.
At Harvard, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, he earned a letter
in lacrosse and a bachelor’s degree in European history.
“He was known as the ‘Gentle Giant’ by his friends and
family,” according to the funeral home’s death notice.
Survivors include his wife, the former Lauren Pizzotti, and
son, Harry. He is also survived by a brother, Lex, of Denver; a
sister, Allison, of Arvada, Colorado; and his parents, of Long
Valley, according to the funeral home.
