Ryan was born May 6, 1984, in Cedar Rapids to Cheryl Rawson Gantt and Randy Sconyers. He attended Kennedy High School and later achieved an associate’s degree in mechanical engineering from Kirkwood Community College. He later worked as an insurance agent for Geico.
Ryan was a skilled outdoorsman who loved fishing, boating, and camping. He enjoyed playing baseball, and was a member of the Cedar Hills Booster Club. Ryan loved to root for the Iowa Hawkeyes and his Chicago Cubbies (Go Cubs Go!). He was a friend to many, and will be missed by those who loved him.
Ryan is survived by his mother Cheryl (Jamie) Gantt of Mt. Vernon; father, Randy Sconyers of Cedar Rapids; sisters, Stephanie Sconyers of Cedar Rapids and Tiffany Sconyers of Mt. Vernon; nieces, Lexieah, Brinley, Karsyn, and Emma; grandparents, Larry and Sharon Rawson of Cedar Rapids; and many special aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He is also survived by close family friends, Matthew Kruse, Tony Perez, Troy Ciha, and Josh Mertka; and, for a brief time, a very special little boy named Landon.
Ryan was preceded in death by his grandparents, Lois and Junior Sconyers; and great-grandparents, Nanny and Papa Rawson.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in Ryan’s name may be made to the Ed and Joan Hemphill Hospice Unit at St. Luke’s Hospital.
The family would like to thank Val at St. Luke’s ICU and all of the caregivers at St. Luke’s Hospice who comforted Ryan and his family in his last days.
