Ryan Vance Robertson

ROBERTSON, Ryan Vance

Ryan Vance Robertson was born on January 3, 1953 in Calgary, Alberta. He passed away on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 in Calgary, Alberta after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Ryan was raised on his parents’ farm near Dog Pound, and he lived many years in the Cremona area. He was an active father and community member, participating in many volunteer activities (including coaching, and writing in the community newspaper for Cremona Minor Hockey).  Ryan surveyed for many years, and in later years followed his dream of writing, being published in several different publications.  For the last 19 years Ryan resided in Calgary and was an active member of Calgary Association of Self Help, advocating for many social service issues, and assisting countless friends through difficult times.

Ryan is lovingly remembered by his brother, Neil (Colleen) and their children, Chelsea and Courtney; son, Aaron (Alana) and their children, Eli and Cecelia, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Ryan is predeceased by his parents, Leon and Hazel. 

Ryan was ever so thankful to his friends and family who visited him over the last few months (he truly loved you all). A Private Family Service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ryan’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society, #200, 325 Manning Road NE, Calgary, AB, T2E 2P5 or the Calgary Association of Self Help, 1019 – 7 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB, T2P 1A8.
