Ryan Robert ETHERINGTON

ETHERINGTON, Ryan Robert Sadly departed this life on Tuesday, December 19, 2017 at the age of 41. Ryan was predeceased by his maternal grandfather Bruce Webster, and paternal grandparents Darce and Eleanor Etherington; uncle Dave Lawson, uncle Pat Ferguson, aunt Susan Ferguson and cousin Katie Ferguson. Ryan will be remembered by his loving parents Robert and Lynne Etherington, his sister Erin (Jeff), his brother Adam (Siobhan), his grandmother Phyllis Webster, his aunts and uncles, his cousins, his nephews and niece. Ryan was born in Burlington on December 11, 1976 to Robert and Lynne; their first child. He was the first grandchild to Phyllis (Bruce, deceased), the coolest older brother to Erin and Adam, and the wacky uncle to Miller, Harrison, Madden and Nora. Ryan was always a sweet, kind hearted spirit and left an impact on all of those who were so lucky to call him a family member or friend (although, his friends were always treated like family). He was a talented artist and quite the comedian. He was a lover of music and movies and hater of bad Christmas presents. He had a passion for films; he worked regularly in the film industry in Toronto for the last several years. Ryan will be missed by all those whose life he had been a part of whether a big or small role. The family will hold a private memorial at a later date and request for donations to be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Canadian Mental Health Association in lieu of flowers or cards.
