His personal motto, “Go big or go home,” wasn’t just a phrase; it was a way of life that he lived every single day.

Before fame found him, Ryeley’s journey was anything but easy. Growing up, he faced bullying because of his athletic build—a trait that would later become his greatest asset. But early challenges didn’t hold him back. With his father’s guidance, Ryeley and his brothers were introduced to motocross racing, where he quickly proved himself by landing in the top three spots and claiming multiple championships within just his first year.

When injuries began to take their toll, his father made the decision to shift focus, enrolling the boys in hockey instead.

These formative experiences shaped the disciplined, driven individual fans would come to admire.

By the time of his passing, Ryeley had been preparing intensely for what was set to be the biggest bodybuilding competition of his career. The world was watching, and many believed he was on the brink of even greater success. Tragically, on June 8th, 2022, Ryeley died in a devastating motorcycle accident in Dawson Creek, Canada. The news sent shockwaves through his growing community of supporters and followers.

His family, including his parents, brothers Brennan and Kash, and sisters Kameryn and Gracie, were left heartbroken. It was Ryeley’s dad who broke the news to fans through an emotional caption posted on Ryeley’s Instagram account. He wrote, “Ryeley was in a tragic motorcycle accident last night. I don’t know how to reach out to his followers. Just know he didn’t feel any pain. I love you son so much.”

Even in loss, Ryeley’s story continues to inspire. Through his journey, his words, and the impact he made, Ryeley remains a beacon of motivation—for those chasing dreams, overcoming obstacles, and choosing to live boldly. Because when it came to giving his all, Ryeley always chose to go big.
