Rylan Brent Simmons Obituary (1991 - 2014)

Rylan Brent Simmons March 2, 1991 ~ April 15, 2014 On March 2, 1991 our family's lives were changed gloriously for the better as Rylan Brent Simmons joined our family in mortality- Now our family's lives have been dramatically changed again because of this young man- but this time it was of his unexpected and sudden departure from mortality and this earthly existence as Rylan passed away in his sleep, and returned home to his heavenly parents, April 15, 2014! Rylan was born in Provo, Utah. Rylan was diagnosed with PDD (pervasive developmental disorder) in the first couple years of his life. His life included living in five different states and multiple cities within those states. Rylan graduated from Weber High School in May of 2011. He was in choir every year he was in high school and music is a very powerful part of his life. He started every morning rewatching his Tabernacle Choir video. Rylan blessed all with his twinkly eyes and bright smile and unconditional support and love for each person he came in contact with. There really are no words, celestial enough, as well, that we know that can accurately describe the extraordinary level of gratitude that we feel for the privilege, and great honor it has been to have this valiant, committed, bright, genuinely loving, compassionate, even perfect son, brother and great friend by our side for the past 23 years! It would be impossible to calculate the number of people he has personally touched through his ability to bring unbelievable joy instantaneously into each new day, experience and relationship without ever saying one word. His example of how powerful one worthy spirit can express love, compassion, understanding, friendship, positive uplift, patience, desires, encouragement, support and the ultimate and powerful love of our Savior, Jesus Christ!!... No words needed... not one! Oh, We love him, We love him, We love him-We miss him!
