A member of the public made the grim discovery in Ecclesall Woods at around 6.45pm on Wednesday.
And a post-mortem examination revealed Ryan, from Sheffield, died as a result of a gunshot wound, South Yorkshire Police said.
The force quickly launched a murder probe and arrested a man, 36 and woman, 34, the following day.
Ryan’s heartbroken family have since hailed him as a “lovable character” in a touching tribute released through cops.
It read: “We will always continue to love him and will miss him greatly.”
Both suspects have been bailed while enquiries remain ongoing, the force added.
Det Chief Insp Andy Knowles urged anyone with information on Ryan’s death – no matter how small – to get in touch.
He said: “We are committed to finding answers of how Ryan lost his life.
“I continue to urge anyone with information about his death to get in touch, no matter how irrelevant or insignificant you believe it to be.
“It could be the missing piece we need.
“Our thoughts are with all those who knew and loved Ryan.”
The woods were cordoned off after the investigation was launched.
South Yorkshire Police added: “To report information to us, please call us on 101 or get in touch via our website.
