Suddenly due to an accident on Thursday, July 22, 2021 Ryan Steven Patrick Leppard Groenewegen of London in his 50th year. (or at the age of 49 years). Ryan was the devoted father of Kaitlyn Groenewegen. He was deeply loved by his wife Adriana Antohi and respected by her son David Grama. Ryan was the cherished chosen son of Euphemia “Mia” Groenewegen and the late Cornelis Groenewegen (2019). He will be greatly missed by his siblings Mary Jane and Joe, Teresa, Willi and Mimi, Bernadette and Ed, Katherine, Corinne, Mona and Mike, and Monique. He was an amazing uncle to many nieces and nephews who appreciated his love and dry humor. Ryan always felt so fortunate to be loved by many aunts, uncles and cousins both here in Canada and in the Netherlands. We are all so profoundly lucky to have had Ryan in our lives. Ryan will also be missed by his many close friends, especially Mike Rivers and Mike Williams. Ryan was respected as a sheet metal worker who took pride in his job. He loved being outside, fishing, and sharing time with family and friends. Ryan was intelligent with a quick wit as well as he had a strong sense of honesty, responsibility, and honour. He was a hard-working man in all (una ll) aspects of his life, and with this he had been able to achieve success as well as fulfillment.
