It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the sudden and devastating loss of Jay Ryan, who passed away unexpectedly at just 44 years old on Tuesday 22/7/25 due to a fast-moving and severe infection. His departure has left a hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him — especially his beloved 13-year-old son, Cyrus and beautiful partner Anice who now face an unthinkable future without him.

Jay was a devoted father, who adored Cyrus and he loved watching him play football each week. Jay and Cyrus were best mates, they would often go to eastern creek and watch the car racing together, they also loved watching the west tigers play each week, Jay was a big tigers fan. The two of them just loved hanging out playing games and just chilling having a one on one father and son chat.

His passing came without warning and has left this family of 3 absolutely devastated.

Now, in the wake of this tragedy, Anice is left to care for Cyrus on her own. While grieving the unimaginable, she’s also facing the financial reality of funeral costs, lost income, and the ongoing needs of raising a young son.
