It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we share that Ryan Moolenbeek passed away at home on Friday 5 February with Mom and Dad at his side. Ryan courageously fought against cancer for three long years. He never ever complained. Ryan is survived by his parents Phil and Guylaine. Older brother to Eric who was Ryan’s bone marrow donor when Ryan beat childhood leukaemia. Beloved grandson to John, Laurie, Jean-Claude and Yvette. He will be dearly missed by his many uncles, aunts and cousins.
The family would like to thank the Palliative Care staff at the Ottawa Hospital, Nurse Joseph with Bayshore Home Health and Dr. Cross with Community Palliative Medicine Associates for their compassionate care of Ryan. Due to the restrictions in place because of COVID-19, a private family service will be held with interment taking place at Beechwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to Sarcoma Cancer Foundation Canada would be appreciated.

What a loss of a wonderful Ryan, so filled with sprit of gentility and acceptance of life as it is in the moment. Phillip and Gaylaine oh how you will miss him. I pray that his presence and the presence of God continues to comfort you surrounding you with love day by day. Love to you. Helene

Easily the strongest person with the biggest heart I've ever known. I'm really going to miss you Ryan, couldn't have asked for a better friend.

I met Ryan through a mutual friend before his sarcoma diagnosis. That was a day that lead to countless hours playing board games and other tabletop games, both in-person and online, as well as computer games. Those countless hours were always filled with great conversation and laughter (and sometimes impressions of Mickey Mouse, much to the chagrin of our other friends). Despite only knowing Ryan for a handful of years, he has made a lasting impression on me: my only wish is that I could have known him for longer.
To Ryan's family and friends: I hope that the impact he made on so many people as indicated in these messages of condolence makes the burden of you grief a bit lighter. You do not mourn alone!
Ryan, I'll miss you, buddy!
