Ryan’s Obituary
SAULNIER, Ryan Joseph – age 31, Yarmouth, passed away peacefully, with family at his side, on Wednesday, September 9, 2020 at the QE II Health Sciences Centre (VG Site), Halifax. Ryan was a son of Ernest (Marsha) Saulnier and Joan (Andy) Surette. Although afflicted with CF, his disease certainly did not define who Ryan was. Scooty, as he was affectionately known, was an energetic and outgoing guy who loved DJ-ing under the name DJ-Xtreme. He also enjoyed volunteering with the J-Strong Foundation, the CF Foundation, Mariner’s Centre and Eastlink. He was a huge fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs as well as of the Yarmouth Mariners, and he loved wrestling and driving around town on his scooter. Many people will remember Ryan for his smile and his positive outlook on life. Aside from his loving parents, he is survived by his brother, Keegan Williams-Surette, as well as by his maternal grandmother, Jane Surette (Ernie Muise) and his paternal grandmother, Rose Marie Saulnier; his godparents, Myrna Cottreau and Roger Saulnier, in addition to many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by a sister, Anita Saulnier, as well as by his maternal grandfather, Belmont Surette and his paternal grandfather, Ernest Saulnier. Visitation will take place from 7-9 p.m. Friday, with prayers at 8 p.m. at H.M. Huskilson’s Funeral Home, 29 Albert Street, Yarmouth. A memorial service will take place at 11 a.m., Saturday, September 12 from Saint Ambrose Co-Cathedral, Yarmouth, Deacon Bruce Hubbard officiating. The service will be live-streamed on Huskilson’s Facebook page. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, seating may be limited at both the visitation and the Cathedral and immediate family will be given priority for seating.
