William Rylander Obituary
He is survived by wife, Faye Jean Ratcliffe Rylander; brother, James Rylander; daughters, Mindi Anne (Alex) Jimenez and Tanja Marie (Bernie) Nelson; and two grandsons, Alejandro and Gabriel Jimenez.
Bill made his living in the construction business in Minneapolis, but his loves were his family, church, and football. He had ordered ESPN just to watch the Oregon Ducks play on New Year's Day, as he was a University of Oregon alumnus, but he missed the game as he passed very suddenly and unexpectedly on January 1, 2026.
Bill is remembered by everyone who knew him as a kind, generous, honest, ethical, and very, very good man. He will be greatly missed by all.
A Celebration of life service will be held at the Apple Valley Community of Christ church on Friday, March 20 at 11:00 am with visitation with the family at 10:00 am. The service will be followed by a luncheon at the church. All are welcome.
