Guy Paul Ryan
January 9, 1936 - January 12, 2026
It is with great sadness the family of Guy Paul Ryan announces his passing on January 12, 2026, at Highgate Residence in Ancaster. He was the beloved husband of Judith (McBain), and cherished father of Trudy, Robin (Sue), Kathleen (Jeff) and Jeff (Kim).
Guy was the proud and loving grandfather of 8 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. He was the brother-in-law of Norman and the late Ian McBain. As a veteran of the RCAF Guy served his country with honour and integrity. After his military career he became an Assessor for the Hamilton Assessment Office. Guy was a dedicated volunteer with Caledonia Senior Support, a past Deputy Warden at St. Paul's Anglican Church, and a lifetime member of the Caledonia Men's Club. Guy was proud to be a lifetime member of the Caledonia Lions Club. Guy was the recipient of Caledonia Citizen of the year in 2005 and received the Caledonia Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award in 2025.
A special thank-you to Bob Kemp Hospice, Highgate Residence and Guy's special angels for their care of Guy. Sincere appreciation goes to the many friends and neighbours for the countless meals and support shown to Guy and our family.
Guy will be fondly remembered by his friends and family as the "King Tuna" from his legendary fishing trips over the years. He will be remembered as the unofficial "Mayor of Duncan Court" by his many friends who were like family. His humour, kindness, and steady presence will echo in the stories shared for years to come.
Donations in his honour may be made to the Caledonia Lions Club for the Norfolk Haldimand Hospice Foundation.. Please indicate "Re: Guy Ryan NHHF". This is an initiative by the Caledonia Lions who are applying for a matching grant from Lions International.
Guy, although it hurts to say goodbye we celebrate the great life you lived, and the love you shared. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, March 22 from 1:00 until 4:00 at the Caledonia Lion's Hall. Funeral arrangements entrusted to MILLER FUNERAL CHAPEL, Caledonia (905-765-2712).
