Ryan M. Euclide

Ryan M Euclide, 45, rural Sturgeon Bay, a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend passed away unexpectedly Saturday evening, January 4, 2025.
Ryan was born July 16, 1979 to Mark and Cindy (Doell) Euclide. Ryan graduated from Southern Door High School with the class of 1998; he then went on to graduate from NWTC with a technical degree in diesel mechanics.
Ryan met the love of his life in 1996 while in high school. On May 31, 2003 Ryan married his true soulmate Tonya Garceau at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Brussels. Together they had two beautiful children: Logan and Riley.
Ryan used his degree and worked at Brooks Tractor in De Pere until joining the family business with his mom and dad. Ryan was blessed to work alongside his father at Euclide Well Drilling since August 2004. Ryan's main passion was his wife and children; Ryan was so proud of being their father and husband. Ryan could be found beaming with joy and pride at their events. Ryan was a proud Uncle, always teasing his nieces and nephews, he loved each one of them so very much. Ryan was always willing to lend a helping hand to those he cared for.
In summers, Ryan enjoyed camping with his family at Harbour Village and spending quality time with Tonya, Logan, Riley, and his mom and dad. Ryan loved tinkering, fixing, and driving RC cars; he was the 'RC mechanic' of the campground. Ryan enjoyed spending time with his best friend and brother-in-law Keith; they were always there for each other, laughing, teasing, fixing something, or just talking.
In 2021, after Ryan's accident, a little kitten showed up at their house. Lucky became a family cat and an emotional support cat for Ryan.
Above all else, Ryan cherished his time with Tonya and the kids; Ryan loved his special bonding time with Logan, going to many rock and metal concerts in the past few years. Ryan also enjoyed and cherished his special cuddle time with Riley every night, reading books together and watching movies. Ryan had a special love for doing Lego's with the kids and was looking forward to taking them to the Lego Store in Florida in March.
