Steve Ryan, a kind and gentle soul walked softly on this earth for almost 82 years. Sadly, he passed away peacefully on August 11, 2025. Steve worked for the City of Toronto in a capacity far removed from his background in Greek and Roman history and English literature. He enjoyed playing chess, guitar, tennis and skiing and had a big heart for turtles.

Steve is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, June, sisters Catherine Hennessey (Bob), Marilyn Marshall (late Ken), brother Allan Ryan (Laurel) and beloved sister-in-law Phyllis Hoshino.

The family would like to acknowledge Home Instead and their very caring staff. A special thank you to Anna and the team - Sami, Amisa, Karla, Aurora and Normalita. Also a shout out to Emma, Marilyn and Sanvra from Ontario Health atHome. We give heartfelt thanks to the entire ICU staff who made Steve's stay comfortable and bearable at Mt. Sinai Hospital.

Arrangements are under the care of Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel at 2357 Bloor St. W., Toronto. Visitation will take place on Tuesday August 19, 2025 at 10 a.m. preceding the funeral service at 11 a.m. Interment will follow immediately after at Park Lawn Cemetery at 2845 Bloor West. Following the interment, family and friends are invited to a reception at Turner and Porter.
