Obituary of Stephen Craig Ryan

RYAN " Stephen Craig Ryan, born March 18, 1961, died on January 10, 2009 surrounded by family and most certainly surrounded by love. Steve fought a very brave and gutsy battle with leukemia. He fought so many obstacles to stay with his family. His most precious times were with his children. We will hold onto the countless treasured memories we have of him. Steves favourite hobby was woodworking. He loved to build things for his family and renovate. Steve was a sports fan. He especially loved the game of hockey. He loved to play with his team The Rockers and lived to coach his childrens teams. Left to forever cherish his memory are his wife, best friend and soul mate, Karen; his pride and joy, Jennifer and Brenden; parents Gary and Mavis; sisters, Heather (Trevor) Seib and Susan (Don) Regal; as well as many nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and co-workers. He was predeceased by his grandparents. Steve will forever hold a place in our hearts. Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. in Christ the King R.C. Church, 3239 Garnet Street, Regina. Flowers most gratefully declined.
