Rylan Alexander Gier (2007-2021)

Rylan Alexander Gier entered into the arms of his savior on Saturday, July 3, 2021, at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. at the young age of 14. He was born to Ryan and Sara (Fisher) Gier June 22, 2007 in Hays, Kan.
Rylan was an amazing and inspirational young man and lived his life to the fullest. He grew up in Sylvan Grove, Kan. 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 10. 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.
