Gerald Edward “Fuzzy” Weyand, 84, passed away Saturday, April 3, 2021, at his residence in Russell. He was born December 20, 1936 in Galva, KS to Herbert and Bertha (Ollek) Weyand. Gerald attended and graduated from Lehigh High School in 1954.

Gerald was introduced to a Stormont Vail nursing student, Freda Mae Duffey, by his brother. They were married September 20, 1958 and made their home in Norton. Gerald and Freda enjoyed 62 years of marriage until her death in August 2020, after which he moved to Russell to be closer to family.

Gerald worked for the Kansas Highway Patrol for 36 years, retiring in 1998. He and Freda spent much of their retirement attending every band concert, school program, and baseball, football, volleyball, and softball game of their grandkids that they could. They also found time to hit a few casinos in between! A highlight was an Alaskan cruise with Freda’s brother and sisters.

Survivors who will miss him dearly are his children, Carla (Richard) Miller of Russell, Curt (Michelle) Weyand of Manhattan, and Craig (Misty) Weyand of Salina; grandchildren: Ryan Miller, Rylee Miller, Corey Weyand, and Connor Weyand; great-grandchildren: Haley, Hunter, Paisley, Harlie and Chloe.

Clark F. Brackney of Galloway, N.J., passed away early Saturday morning, April 
3, 2021. He was 70 years old. Born in Hays, Kansas, Clark also resided
 in Iowa, Missouri, and Connecticut before calling New Jersey home. 
Clark was a true factotum. After graduating from Hays High School and 
marrying his wife, Sally, Clark worked in a variety of fields and 
capacities including the cattle industry, construction, sales, retail 
management, providing services to pet owners, and real estate sales 
support. His engaging personality and wide-ranging skill set left him 
equally comfortable riding a horse, repairing a car, remodeling a home, 
or managing a large operation with scores of employees. 
Clark was always interested in doing new things and seeing new places. 
He enjoyed traveling both in the U.S. and abroad. He was a raconteur, 
ready to regale others with stories of his latest discovery, trip, or 
observation in his own inimitable style. In addition to closely 
following the day-to-day happenings in his children’s and 
grandchildren’s life, he also found time to track the Phillies and 
76ers. 
Clark is predeceased by his father, Cecil “Pete” Brackney, his mother, 
Francis Brackney, his stepmother, Eileen Brackney, his brother, Charles 
Brackney, and his sister, Charlene Brackney. He is survived by his

Dustin “Dusty” Jay Ream left this earth too early on Feb 28th, 2021 at 9:34 p.m. at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas. He was 44.

Dusty was born on to&nbsp;Ronald and&nbsp;Frankie (Burrell)&nbsp;Ream on&nbsp;January 8th,&nbsp;1977 at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Hays, Kansas. At the time of his death, he was a resident of Bazine, Ks. Dusty grew up in Hays, Kansas.

Dustin enjoyed playing summertime sports including baseball, going to the municipal pool, and being with his friends. Dusty also enjoyed and became quite the established disc golfer. He achieved a state amateur ranking.

After high school, Dusty married Andrea Casper. They later divorced, but from their union Dusty gained one of his best friends - a Rottweiler named Harley. He also gained a very caring set of in-laws (Tom and Debbie Casper). With a love for Pantera, pit bulls, wicked skull tattoos and a giant heart for those he cared about - Dusty was a unique guy. He was not afraid to say what he&nbsp;felt and how he felt. He had a personality that no friend or enemy will ever forget. A few years ago, he worked as a repossession tow truck driver. A job that he truly&nbsp;loved,&nbsp;and chances are if you lived in Northern Kansas and had your vehicle towed away in the cover of night - it was Dusty doing it with a laugh and smile on his face&nbsp;and Jax by his side. If asked, Dusty would say his greatest accomplishment was becoming a father to Ryot. He always had plans of cooking spaghetti, making pallet projects, snagging a repo&nbsp;car,&nbsp;or creating paintings with Ryot to make their time together special. Just spending time with Dusty was an adventure and he will be truly missed by all that knew and loved him.

He leaves behind his mother, Frankie, son Ryot Ream, brother Rodney Ream&nbsp;and his wife Tracy, nieces Leslie&nbsp;and her husband Andrew Wyatt,&nbsp;Heather&nbsp;McCain, Reba Burkhart, great nephews LeRoy and Elijah and great nieces Jocelyn, Aurora and Kally, his dog, Jax and Carlos.

He is preceded in death by his father, Ronald as well as his dogs Harley and Buddy. Dusty’s wish was to be an organ donor and through his passing 3 people were given the gift of life.

He did not wish to have a funeral.&nbsp;He will be honored with a Memorial Disc Golf Tournament that will be announced.

All proceeds from the tournament will go into a trust fund for Ryot.
