The Bobcaygeon community is mourning a second heartbreaking loss following the devastating collision on County Road 49 that claimed the life of 16-year-old Briannah “Bri” Sabovitch and has now also taken the life of her boyfriend, Ryan Musson.
Ryan had been fighting for his life after sustaining catastrophic injuries in the crash that occurred on the evening of May 30, 2026, at the intersection of County Road 49 and Burys Green Road.

Ryan was deeply loved by those who knew him. He was a cherished son, brother, grandson, friend, and teammate whose kindness, character, and caring nature touched countless lives. Those closest to him describe a young man with a bright future, a warm heart, and a smile that could light up any room.
In the days following the crash, the Fenelon Township Public School community and residents throughout the Kawartha Lakes region rallied around Ryan and his family, offering prayers, encouragement, and support. Many hoped for a miracle as he fought through severe injuries while also facing the unimaginable loss of Bri, whom he loved dearly.
Now, the community mourns them both.
As family and friends gather to remember Ryan, they do so with heavy hearts but also with gratitude for the memories he leaves behind. His life, though far too brief, made a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Ryan Musson will be remembered for his strength, his kindness, his love for others, and the joy he brought into the lives of those around him.
