Ryan was born August 20, 2000, in Provost, AB to Mother Teresa Donnelly, and Father Michael Donnelly. He was the second of three sons with older brother Evan preceding him and younger brother Kyle following.
Ryan loved the outdoors and spent many happy hours hunting, fishing, hiking and doing archery. He loved most animals and his kind gentle nature seemed to calm even the wildest of cats, which were his favourite. Ryan had a passion for history, especially anything concerning the military and weaponry. He loved antiques and enjoyed searching thrift stores to add to his collection.
Ryan is survived by his two brothers Evan Donnelly and Kyle Donnelly as well as his parents Teresa Donnelly ( nee Trenerry) and Michael Donnelly, as well as his grandmothers, Phyllis Donnelly and Joyce Trenerry, many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A limited funeral service for Ryan will be held at the Foothills Memorial Chapel in Edson, AB on Thursday September 30th @ 1:00 PM
An open outdoor graveside service will follow immediately at the Glenwood Cemetery in Edson, AB and all are welcome.
