It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of Ryan Eric Warren Butler of Brantford, Ontario, on July 12, 2026, at the age of 47.
Born on June 20, 1979, Ryan will be remembered for his kind heart, fun-loving spirit, and the laughter he brought to everyone around him. He touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Ryan was the loving Son of William and Carol Butler and will be sadly missed by his loving girlfriend, Tara Dunn. He was a cherished brother to Shane (Alicia), Chad (Nicole), and Andrea (Greg), and the fun and loving uncle to all of his nieces and nephews, as well as his great-nephew, all of whom brought him immense joy.
Ryan will also be greatly missed by his beloved fur babies, Lucy and Luna, who were a
constant source of love and companionship.
Ryan’s memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched. His kindness, sense of humor, and caring nature will never be forgotten.
At Ryan’s request, there will be no funeral service. A celebration of his life will take place at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor his memory and share the many stories that made Ryan so special.
Forever loved, forever remembered, and forever missed.

Ryan was an adopted member of our family for decades. He was kind and gentle soul with a wry sense of humour. He will be dearly missed.
