It is with broken hearts that the family of Ryan announce his sudden passing on November 7, 2018 in Langley BC. The greatest joy in his life was being the father of three beautiful daughters, Alexa, Mackenzie and Hayden. Left to mourn his passing his mother, Monica and her partner, Barb, his sister, Terrah and three nieces, Natalie, Jayda and Chelsey, his stepbrother, John, grandmother, Rosa, and his many aunts, uncles and cousins. Also left to mourn are the mothers of his daughters, Morgan and Jolene, who will nurture his daughters to follow in his footsteps in being kind, caring and generous. Ryan will be joining his Papa Hermann. Ryan was surrounded by a large family that truly loved him.
Ryan grew up in the Okanagan where he created incredible memories with his childhood friends. He will always be remembered for his antics, his laughter and his love of life. After taking his first steps, he began running to embrace every moment. Ryan always had a smile in his pocket sharing it with everyone around him. Ryan was the most notable Sales Manager at Oldcastle Glass Langley. He admired and respected all of those he worked with and alongside, but most importantly the customers he served. Ryan strived for excellence in all that he did and his abilities to achieve new accomplishments were amazing. This included many a day on the golf course, where he considered himself on par with the greats.
In lieu of flowers for those who desire may make memorial donations to the Langley Christmas Bureau, 120-19860 Langley Bypass, Langley BC, 604.530.3001, where Ryan’s memory will put a smile on the faces of many children on Christmas morning.
