Obituary of Pat Ryan

Ryan : Patrick

 

Surrounded by the love of his family Pat passed away on Sunday March 21st, 2021 at the age of 85.  Proud father of Kelly Ryan-McLean, Joe (Frances) and Pete (Brenda).  Cherished Papa to Hunter, Kerri-Ann and Owen.  Predeceased by his first wife Patricia Ann, second wife Judith Ann and his son Paul.

A hard working entrepreneurial man, Patrick will be remembered by many for the friendships made at the Barnea Tavern and by those that he worked alongside during his time in real estate at Century 21.  An active community member he contributed to St. Michael’s Church, the Fort Erie Kinsmen, and the Fort Erie Lions.  Patrick was an avid cyclist who could be seen daily on the Friendship Trail between Fort Erie and Ridgeway.  He was addicted to golf, with many friends in the senior’s league.  After a round of morning golf he could be found sitting with friends enjoying a coffee and muffin at McDonalds.
