I know not many people will see thus but I've been one of Ryan's friends for years I've known him since I was five and gosh we both sacked together at hockey but hey at least we both bad together I still wish he could of met my friend Zack they would have gotten along good. I still remember my 9th birthday he showed up to my house and honestly I didn't care about the present he got me we just played and had fun in my front yard but when the day came to an end we both asked if we could have a sleep over we never did but we did do them online because both of our bedrooms were to small especially the beds. From ur good pal Christian miss ya buddy

We were goofing off and didn't know this would happen

Halloween at school I really wanted to see his costume but I sadly didn't get to.

He was a good friend of mine. We a miss him alot... But he would want us to move on with our life.

Jenni & Family,

I am sending my sincerest condolences to you and your family for the great loss you are having. I wish I could give you a hug Jenni…please know I am sending my thoughts, prayers and strength to you.

Thinking of you,
Amy Stephen

I send my deepest condolences to my nephew, David and Jenny. Unfortunately I could not make it to the the service today as I did not feel comfortable driving through the snow storm. I remember seeing Ryan at Balsam Lake just a few months ago  and we all had a nice time together. May the Lord be with you in this difficult time. Randa sends her condolences as well.

My heartfelt sympathy for you and all your family Edith.  May God surround you with peace, comfort, and love…giving you the strength to get through the difficult days, as well as providing you with beautiful memories and photos to cherish.
🙏❤️🙏

Ryan was my student during his Grade 5 year at MacGillivray, and I remember him so fondly. He would come each morning with a bright smile, always said good morning and "Bye Madame!" at the end of the day. He was always eager to share stories about his evenings and weekends. He couldn't wait to share what he had gotten up to with his family, highlights from his hockey games, and the silly moments he would recount while laughing through the stories about him and his friends. Even in his last year at MacGillivray, he would often stop to say hello, with the sweetest "Hi, Madame!"

Ryan often went out of his way to help others in our school community and was always willing to lend a hand in the classroom. With his warm, caring heart, he always showed empathy, kindness, and consideration for others. Ryan will always be remembered for his sunshiny personality, his infectious laugh, and the exceptional caring nature that he showed to everyone around him. I am thankful to have had the chance to teach Ryan and he has left a lasting impression on me and the MacGillivray community.

My heart goes out to his loved ones. May the memories we hold bring comfort in the days ahead.

I had the pleasure of teaching Ryan in Grade 3. We were virtual that entire year, and he quickly became “Ryguy the Tech Guy” as we all tried to navigate learning through a computer screen. Somehow, he always knew what to do and was always willing to help other students (and myself) whenever someone couldn’t find what they were looking for or needed help navigating Google Classroom.

That year, we put on a virtual Santa Claus play, and everyone voted for Ryguy to be our Santa. I’ll never forget how many emails I received from parents telling me how wonderfully he did in the role. He took it so seriously and made everyone laugh.

Once virtual learning ended, I was lucky enough to see him at Mac, where I’d spot him in the hallway and call out, “Hey, Ryguy!”

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Ryan will always be remembered as a sweet, caring child.

Me and Ryan in grade 5 we were chasing eachother around the gym at the Halloween dance and then we became friends after that so that was a really good memory for me

I received this news with great sadness. Ryan was a kind, generous and thoughtful young man. As the former Principal of MacGillivray, I got to know Ryan as someone who could be counted on to volunteer and assist in any situation. An exemplary 'MAC CAT', Ryan made an impact around the school for his kindness, helpful nature and quick wit. He was the kind of young man who thought of others, held the door, and consistently offered to help, without having to be asked. His laughter and friendship will no doubt be missed by many. My heart goes out to the many family and friends he has left behind. Thinking of you all and sending love and light during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the many cherished memories.

December 16, 2017 at Uncle Larry and Aunt Marianne's for Christmas visit

Ryan was such a unique boy whose light shone bright and touched so many lives. We remember how, even as a baby, he connected so well with our Sarah. No words spoken. It was so endearing to watch the interaction.  Ryan will be missed by all of us.

Please know I’m thinking of you all at this time. I pray God and his never ending blessings will help you through this difficult time. 
Sending my love.

Dave, Jenni and Asher, 
My heart is broken for you. Please know I’m thinking of you and sending love.

I will always remember the bright, quirky spirit that filled the school office whenever Ryan stopped by. His big, toothy smile could light up the room, and his fun personality made every visit a joy.  You’ll always be a MacCat! 

Mom, Dad and Asher,  please know that my heart is with you. Ryan brought happiness and laughter to so many, and his memory will continue to shine in all of us who were lucky enough to know him.

With love and deepest sympathy,
Jodi Cramm

I remember when me and Ryan went to wonderland on a school graduation trip that was the best trip ever
-Chloe

It still feels not real. He was one of the most amazing child ever. I have only fond memories. He brought so much joy and comfort to everyone who met him. His ability to accept any situation and person was unmatched. He loved unconditionally, a rare trait in this world and the world is worse without him.

So many memories from being the best man at Link and Jordyns wedding in kindergarten to the last day I saw him. This would be the final picture I got and I'm so glad to have said yes to his text to get him and Link from school and take them to flying squirrel.

Dave and family, sincere condolences to you on the passing of your son Ryan.

Dear Jenni and Family

We know that there are no words that can ease your pain. Just know we are thinking of you all during this difficult time. Sending condolences and much love. 

Craig and Liz
