Without exception, Ryan beamed when speaking of Aaden and Brendan, sharing stories of their pursuits and ambitions with a gleam in his eyes and confidence in his voice.

Ryan was affectionately nicknamed "McKrate" by his grandmother Pauline Pelly and his family followed suit.

His dedication extended beyond sports to his work, where he supported vulnerable individuals through his role at The Light House supportive living.

He had a rare ability to uplift others, offering wisdom and insight that felt as though it came from an old soul. His continual display of affection, hope, and enthusiasm was a source of light for his family and friends.
