Rylan Luke Wilson

Rylan Luke Wilson, age 19, of Cassville, Missouri left this Earth doing what he loved and walked into the open arms of Jesus and the family and friends that have gone before him, on Wednesday, May 31, 2023.
He was born November 7, 2003 in Joplin, Missouri the son of Luke and Cindy (Craig) Wilson, who survive. In addition to his parents, those left to cherish the memories of Rylan are his paternal grandmother, Nora Wilson of Cassville; maternal grandparents, Donnie Craig of Cassville, and Kim and Mike Kenney of Cassville; one brother, Kaden Wilson of Cassville; one sister, Makenna Wilson of Cassville; his fiancé, Lexi Stubblefield of Cassville; and several aunts, uncles, cousins and countless special friends.
Preceding him in death was his paternal grandfather, Junior Wilson.
Rylan grew up and attended school in Cassville, Missouri graduating with honors from Cassville High School in 2022. He attained his CNA license and had been employed by Roaring River Health and Rehabilitation in Cassville for two years and was currently pursuing a nursing degree at Crowder College, with the goal of becoming a nurse practitioner. He loved spending time with his family and friends. Rylan was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing golf, riding motorcycles, all animals, and helping on anyone's farm who needed him. He loved all of God's creation and natural wonders.
Rylan was a walking, talking, hugging example of God's love. As a son, brother, grandson, nephew, friend, fiancé, cousin and nursing assistant, he filled many different roles for many different people, but one role he filled for every person he met was Caregiver. Rylan truly cared about people, no matter their age, their background, or their beliefs. Rylan genuinely understood and carried out his duty as a child of God; he showed the love of Jesus to everyone he met. From friends in class to the nursing home residents he worked with, everyone knew they could count on Rylan to provide the help they needed and a conversation about God. Rylan was bold in his faith, and unafraid to share his love of Jesus. The lives of many, many people were made better because of the presence of Rylan. As much as he gave in life, he also gave in death. Rylan was passionate about being a registered organ and tissue donor since the age of 15 and would encourage others to do the same.
Rylan was a towering figure, a big guy with an even bigger heart. In spite of his short 19 years on this Earth, Rylan showed a lifetime of love to all of those around him. He will be forever missed by all who knew and loved him.
