Ryan Joel Metcalfe

Mr. Ryan Metcalfe was born on February 1st 1982 alongside his twin brother Kyle Metcalfe. This was a special day for his mom, dad and sister, Sandy, Gerry and Tanya Metcalfe. Ryan had such a light about him with his big smile and goofy personality he was one of a kind. He lit up the room when he entered and he'd do anything for anybody anytime. He was kind, thoughtful and very selfless. He always made birthdays so special in his own way. Ryan loved his movies, he was a Big Movie Buff! He loved the 80's! One of Ryan's other loves was going for a ride on a sunny day on his motorbike while visiting Fatburger. Ryan was also a clean freak and perfectionist to the highest degree. His sister Tanya would always say, "is Ryan having his hour shower?” He would get so mad at her for that, but she would always bug him about his showers. Ryan was an amazing son, brother, uncle and friend. He loved his family with all his heart and would do anything for them. Ryan spent lots of time with his nieces Charlotte and Madeline, watching movies, playing, having treats and being goofy. Ryan was a big kid at heart himself. His nieces remember how he would sneak up on them to scare them and Charlotte got to enjoy a little ride on the back of his motorbike, which was a special memory for the both of them. Ryan always put others first. His brother in law Aaron Usher remembers how Ryan and Kyle would always entertain him with playing board games especially Settlers of Catan, that game could get pretty heated but they had fun! Ryan was also great at talking with others and being a good listener, he was always so aware of people’s feelings and needs. This world will not be the same without Ryan. He had such a heart of gold.

A special message from his twin brother Kyle

To My Brother Ryan

He was my best friend, even though we fought all the time we still were able to get over it and hangout 🙂. Ryan was a selfless person, he always thought of everyone else and how they felt. He was such a goofball at times, making me try to laugh at the dumbest things. He always took care of me and was there to help me with anything I ever needed.

We always had such a fun time together, getting food, watching movies (he hated when I was on my phone haha, he said it distracted him, and I was like" don't look at me and watch the movie" haha), playing video games literally all night long, seriously we would be up into the early mornings as the sun was raising.

He really loved being on his bike, he got so jealous after I got mine he was like "well now I've gotta get one", and boom goes and buys the coolest one ever a Ducati 848 EVO, then I was the jealous one. He always found an excuse to be on it too, especially if the weather was nice. He'd call me and be like "bro wanna game, watch a movie, grab some food, I'll come over on my bike and we can hangout". He'd pack up whichever video game system it was we decided to play and he'd wrap it nicely in a towel all rolled up protected and bring it over in his backpack. Although when it came to watching a new movie it had to be done at home at our parent’s place with his full surround sound system blasting away haha.

He was such a shy guy too. I tried for years to get him signed up for online dating apps and he was like "I don't wanna find a girl like that", I was like "bro you need to get out of the house man". In the end, he did and wow he didn't like it at first but then he found one special person named Veronica. They were together for 1 year and a bit and even rescued a dog from Mexico called Luna. She was such a little monster but also so cute haha. Ryan did everything he could to make sure Veronica and Luna were always happy and had everything they needed. Ryan was like that in his relationships though, always doing anything to make sure everyone was happy.

Growing up Ryan and I would get into so much trouble haha, it was so bad. When we were 3 years old my parents, sister and us lived in an apartment building on the 3rd floor. My mom went down to do the laundry one day and when she came back up, Ryan and I had taken our Tonka trucks and diggers and dug up all of her potted plants and the dirt was everywhere haha. Another time we were climbing the patio railings and my dad ran out to stop us as we lived on the 3rd floor remember haha. The next day no joke, he built a fenced cage over the patio so we couldn't climb it and fall. They also tried to stop us from getting in the kitchen by building doors on either side so we couldn’t get in, haha so funny. We were forever known after that as the "Twin Terrors” and also to my parent’s friends as "Riot and Chaos".

Ryan and I did everything together. I could go on and on with the stories we shared, but that would probably take another 38 years to explain haha. He was my big brother, my best friend, my partner in crime, the best anyone could ask for and I will never forget how kind and caring he was to me.

I love you Ryan, I'll always see you right beside me.

Mom, Dad, Tanya, Kyle, Aaron, Charlotte, Madeline and all your extended family and friends will miss you dearly and you will always be with us in our hearts forever and always. Love you Ryan our Guardian Angel 😇
