Ryan David Alfred Baker Norris: June 24th, 1980 (sunrise) to December 22nd, 2015 (sunset).

It is with great sadness that Ryan’s family announce his sudden and tragic passing on December 22nd, 2015 in Vancouver, BC. Our son, and large piece of our hearts, now live in Heaven.

Ryan was born in Kitchener, Ontario and had a great childhood filled with many friends and family. Throughout his school years, Ryan loved and excelled at sports. Ryan was passionate about hockey, football, baseball, skiing, tennis and golf. Ryan had many friends.

Ryan was very generous and he derived a lot of pleasure from helping others, especially all of the people he sponsored in AA. Ryan particularly enjoyed listening to music and fishing. He was very close with his cousin, Megan.

Ryan completed the Property Management course and kicked off his career by buying and selling real estate. By the age of 25, he already owned his 3rd home; a beautiful heritage home in Port Moody with his then partner Lise-Marie. Ryan enjoyed renovating kitchens and bathrooms and he was largely the general contractor on the renovation of the family home in Brunswick Beach.

Ryan leaves behind his son, Max, who is 5 years old. Ryan loved Max very much and wanted to expose Max to all the wonderful things he loved as child, and more.
