Rylee James Styler May 17, 2000 – Feb. 14, 2022

Rylee James Styler was violently taken from us in the early morning of Feb. 14 in Leavenworth, Kansas.

Rylee, "Ry Guy" as he was affectionately called, was born on May 17, 2000 in Missoula, Montana to Richard Styler and Teri Busse. Rylee loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, country roads and bonfires. He had an infectious smile that would light up any room and will forever be loved by so many.

Rylee is survived by: his father Richard and step-mom Whitney Styler; his mother Teri Busse; his siblings Sydney (Austin) Schmeltz, Jason Duff, Nathan Duff, Lily Busse and Sadie Busse; Uncle Travis (Renee) Eggers and family; Aunt Pam (Shane) Nash and family; paternal grandparents Gary and Linda Styler; and several other extended family members and cousins.

Rylee was preceded in death by several family members, the closest to him were his maternal grandparents Dennis and Devera Eggers, his step-dad (Papa Tom) Thomas Busse Jr. and Uncle Gary Paul Styler.

In lieu of flowers, please enjoy some of Rylee's favorite things: family, friends, music and a bonfire.

A Celebration of life in Leavenworth, Kansas will be March 26, from 2-4 p.m. at the Belden-Larken Funeral Home, 707 S. 6th St.

A Celebration of Life for his Montana family and friends will follow on June 5. Time and location to be announced.
