Ryan Coulter

1993 - 2017

Ryan Scott Coulter, aka Batman, was born May 23, 1993, to Elizabeth and Lorin. He was a happy loving little package of dynamite with bright red hair and an explosive personality. Over the years, he may have grown in size, but his personality never changed. Ryan's infectious smile and laughter always made him the center of attention.

By the time Ryan was 7 years old, three siblings had been added to his crazy mixed up, blended family. He loved Bryanna, Jordan and Kamron so much. He enjoyed doing big brother things, especially various forms of torture. In February of 2011, Ryan's mom passed away and left him sad but still determined to make sure those around him were smiling. The light of Ryan's life arrived in September of 2012 when Kaesyn was born. Ryan loved being a dad and all that it entailed.

In December of 2012, Ryan's dad passed away, and again he was sad, but still more worried about taking care of those around him and making sure to provide everyone with some laughter. Ryan had many cousins and friends with whom he enjoyed laughing, joking and horsing around.

About a year ago, Ryan connected with his older brother, Paul, and although they had never met in person, they shared a special bond. In November of 2014, Ryan met Dakota. She became his partner-in-crime, and they had a lot of plans for the future. Ryan had lots of family and friends who love him very much.

On July 31, Ryan's life was tragically ended as the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident in the Snake River Canyon of Wyoming.

Ryan is survived by his son, Kaesyn Alex Russell, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; partner-in-crime, Dakota Cox, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; sister, Bryanna (Chase Vance) Coulter, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; brother, Jordan (Madison) Miller, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; brother, Kamron Cromwell, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; brother, Paul (Heidi) Fox, of Moses Lake, Washington; niece, Adelynn Miller; uncle, Frank Carl (Marie Sykes) Miller, of Menan, Idaho; aunt, Coral (Randy) Maxwell, of Darby, Montana; uncle, Mark (Cindy) Coulter, of Washington D.C.; aunt, Angela (Bob) Birnel, of Big Lake, Alaska; uncle, Roan (Linn) Ferguson, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; aunt, Belinda (Tom) Jones, of Elkton, Maryland; aunt, Dawn (Charlie) Anderson, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; grandparents, Bob and Rose Coulter, of Idaho Falls, Idaho; and grandmother, Geri Miller, of Idaho Falls, Idaho.
