Obituary 


Into His loving arms, God called Ryan home on March 8, 2016 at the young age of 7 years. Ryan was an example to us of how to find joy in the simple things in life. He was a blessing to everyone who knew him. Cherished son of Cliff and Arlene and best friend of big brother Devon. Dear grandson of Sidney and Annette DeGroot. Special friend of Katherine Younger. He will be sadly missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Visitation at Bay Gardens Funeral Home - "William J. Markey Chapel", 947 Rymal Road East, HAMILTON (905.574.0405) on Friday, March 11th from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm and from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm. A Celebration of Ryan's Life will be held at Meadowlands Fellowship Christian Reformed Church, 211 Stonehenge Drive, Ancaster on Saturday, March 12th at 12:00 pm. Interment to follow at White Chapel Memorial Gardens, Hamilton.

For those who wish, memorial donations made to the Christian Horizons, 25 Sportsworld Crossing Road, Kitchener, ON, N2P 0A5 would be appreciated. Please sign the online Book of Condolences at www.baygardens.ca

Arlene, I have tried to start a note several times... and the words don't come easily. Michelle shared the news with me Wednesday, and I have thought of you and your family since. I am thankful I had a chance to meet Ryan with you at one of the Old Mill races. Wishing you a peace and strength beyond understanding for the days to come. My mom had Lamentations 3:19-23 underlined in her Bible, so I give that to you. Stertke. Sara (DeJonge) Pot
