Rylan Alexander Gier entered into the arms of his savior on Saturday,
July 3,2021 at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri at the
young age of 14. He was born to Ryan and Sara (Fisher) Gier on June 22,
2007 in Hays, Kansas.
Rylan was an amazing and inspirational young man and lived his life
to the fullest. He grew up in Sylvan Grove, Kansas and recently
completed his eighth grade year at Sylvan Lucas Unified. Rylan loved to
play sports with his favorites being football and basketball. He was a
very busy kid and loved working on all sorts of things, especially his
Legos. Even while he was sick, he could constantly be seen making all
sorts of objects with Legos. It was one of his favorite hobbies and he
was always excited to show off any project he had completed. His love
for tinkering also benefitted him with his job at Frederking Seed which
he obtained at the young age of ten. He worked on anything that was
presented to him at work, and he really enjoyed his job.
Rylan could always be seen with a set of pliers and his monkey boots
- which he eventually grew out of! He was a very social and ambitious
person who was always fun to talk to. He loved his family, friends, and
his two kitties, Oliver and Skunk.
Rylan’s life was a testament of faith, something that was very near
and dear to him and which helped him through the most difficult parts of
his life. He loved to go to church at Bethlehem Lutheran Church with
his family. He was truly an inspiration through his faith, love, and the
joy that he showed.
Although our hearts are weighing heavy during this difficult time,
we can find comfort in knowing that Rylan is at peace in Heaven with his
Lord Jesus Christ. We all have so many memories, stories, and wonderful
times full of fun and laughter with him. Those are the things that we
will cherish forever. He will always be remembered in love.
