'Ryan May Not Be Coming Home': Family of Missing Sooke Man Yearn for Closure

Ryan Mazar, a 43-year-old from Sooke, disappeared on April 22 after he, along with Mykaila and their baby daughter Ariel, fell into Finlayson Arm while boating.
The disappearance followed an accident where Mykaila and Ariel were found alive on shore but Ryan was not, prompting an ongoing community and official search in the rugged Finlayson Arm area.
Mykaila has returned home after a hospital stay and faces financial uncertainty as Ryan was the sole family provider, while their four-month-old daughter Ariel steadily improves and will require developmental checks for two years.
Ryan's adult son Drue, who recently became a father, is taking over Ryan’s flooring business, RyGuys Resurfacing, and is motivated to honor his father’s legacy despite the family's emotional struggle and uncertain future.
The family, supported by a fundraiser that has raised over $12,000 and ongoing community efforts, is grappling with accepting Ryan may not return while urging others to maintain hope and continue praying for closure.
