Please keep Ryan's memory alive

On December 26th 2021, our world lost an amazing man. Ryan took one last run on Biggie and our world became a darker place. 

Ryan Fletcher grew up in Kelowna and was proud to call the Okanagan his home. Ryan lived for adventure and fun and he was known for his easy laid-back attitude and warm laugh. Ryan loved outdoor adventure, his numerous hobbies included surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, boating, and wake surfing.

Ryan enjoyed many surf trips to Mexico and Central America over the years and has a decent number of boards for a guy who lives in Canada. Ryan was an avid snowboarder his entire life, he has had a season’s pass at Big White since 1980-something. He wasn’t afraid to face the wild and enjoyed many heli-skiing and cat skiing trips with friends over the years. Mountain biking also became a passion of Ryan’s which he shared riding with the love of his life, Grace.

Ryan leaves behind his partner and love Grace, his mother Donna, his sister Michelle, and niece Mikaela, and many friends. Ryan was easy to love and won’t ever be forgotten.

Money raised will be donated to the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) for all the amazing work they do keeping our communities safe and stepping in when the worst-case scenarios occur. Thank you to the men and women who volunteer so many hours to support this organization, we appreciate you!
