Hello I am Gerri and I’m ex wife of Jon Charles Ryser who is now deceased which was mention in obituary. What wasn’t mentioned was that Jon and I had 3 kids together. Kimberly Ryser Norgaard, Brandon Jon Ryser and Alicia Gayle Ryser. 3 more grandchildren who they got to know better later in life but always call him grandpa. They thought highly of him. Between them they had 9 more great grandchildren whom 3 of them and my son will carry on the Ryser name. Brandon and his family visited there grandpa when they came to town. Charles was a great man and always tried to help with my little family back in the days💕💕RIP CHARLES RYSER🙏 A LITTLE LATE BUT NEVER TOO LATE! I believe Jon sent me a message from heaven to run across his obituary and mention his children and 9 grandchildren.
Grandpa , you have left many with a sad heart and joy. Sad that we will not hear your sense of humor and childhood stories. We will cherish memorable and joyous times spent with you. I am happy you are now with Ruth and all your brothers and sisters.
One of my favorite memories is when I would take Grandpa for an eye appointment and as we walked in to the reception area, Grandpa would great the ladies with: " What's for breakfast" . Everyone in the room including other patients would just crackup laughing. It was a great way to start the morning.
We will miss you.
Joel and Gloria Faulkner y Familia
The last few years for my Father Charles reiser have been really quite trying being the fact that he had lost his eyesight and his independence but he was always quick with an easy smile and laugh and that always helped when I talk to him. Pops we will forever be indebted to you as a family for all the good advice some of us took it later than earlier like me but we truly truly love you and I will eternally be grateful for all that you have done to make me the man that I am today. We always had our struggles but what family doesn't and I will be eternally grateful for all you have done goodbye pops. Kelly Ezell
Uncle Chick always had a big hug and smile for me whenever our family came to Salt Lake City from Los Angeles during our summer vacations. Because we lived far away, I didn’t get to see him much, but I knew he was devoted to those he loved. Long after I was married he invited my husband and I to visit him at his cabin in Alpine, Wyoming because he knew we passed through there often while visiting family in nearby Star Valley. About 8 years ago I think, we finally stopped at his cabin and had a delightful visit with Uncle Chick and Uncle Karl, who happened to be there too. I’m so glad we got to see this place that brought him and Ruth so much joy. He was so happy we stopped so he could show us around and we could share an afternoon together. It was a wonderful place.
Uncle Chick has always been an example of devotion to family, church, love of God and love for our great country. He leaves behind a family that loves him and will miss him dearly.
As a proud nephew of uncle Charlie (for many years he was uncle Chick to me) I feel respect, love and admiration for him today. His passing represents the mortal conclusion of the Ryser Family siblings. This is a time for celebration and remembrance, and a time to celebrate the legacy this wonderful man and his eternal companion, Ruth, passed forward to their family and the entire Ryser clan.
I remember fondly the Ryser Family gatherings at our grandparents home on 6th Ave almost every Sunday evening. We cousins played while the parents sat around and did the parent thing. I remember Charlie's playful manner and his smile. From an early age I remember seeing and feeling how he loved my mother, Pauline, all his siblings, and his parents. I remember visits to his own home and time spent there with together with John, Jane and Kristen.
Much later in my life, that admiration, respect and love for Charlie and Ruth deeply crystalized. As all my uncles and aunts grew together in their later years of life I could see the bond of love they had for each other grow, while they embraced the joys and challenges of growing families, wonderful grandchildren, yet coupled with the loss of loved ones and their own health. The family dynamic was incredible and meaningful.
That love and devotion was magnified when my mother Pauline transitioned to assisted living, moving right next door, to dear, sweet aunt Ruth at the Beehive. It wasn't too long before Charlie joined Ruth and both watched over mom, while she in turn, watched over them. What a blessing to the next generation of cousins, and one my family and siblings treasure, to have them living next to each other and to see them care for each other. Ruth was angelic and Charlie was close behind.
I will fondly remember sharing time together with Ruth and Charlie. I will remember Charlie's kind and loving nature, his sweetness to Ruth and Pauline and his unselfishness. I recall the day he and Ruth invited Cathy and me into their room to show off their newly purchased matching recliner chairs, placed side-by-side so that they could sit next to each other, and hold hands. I will remember how found he was of Cummings chocolates we would share with him, lways grateful for a good chocolate. I will remember feeling that Charlie cast a huge and strong presence of a man, and will always remember his large, strong and rough hands. I always thought they were huge, but gentle. Most of all I will remember and appreciate his wonderful smile and the twinkle in his eyes and the love and devotion he had for his family, Ruth and my mother. Thanks for being a family hero to me.
I will fondly recall his 99 year old birthday celebration, outside on the Beehive patio with family and watching him eat his cake and ice cream. Epic moment.
You almost made it to 100 years old, but more importantly you made it home to your Heavenly Parents, family, siblings and friends. With love and admiration.
Blessings to the Ryser and extended family.
In gratitude for your wonderful example of loving devotion,
Rick and Cathy Graham
I'm Corey gene Newman , Charles Samuel Ryser , was my grandfather I never knew I even had thanks to something that had happened in the family before I was born , but I was able to meet him about 5 years ago and lived with him in his beautiful home with my mother and his little dog , I took care of him for a while as best I could until he went to assisted living. it was so nice to get what little time I did with him , he talked a lot about his past and all the fun he had , and I said "I wish I could of known you back then " and he said to me " man we would of had a blast"
So I'm very happy to get to know about him and the things he accomplished in life , God bless him and grandma Ruth and grandma June, may they rest in peace with the heavenly father and be at peace and God bless all the family and friends too , , .
I celebrate the life of my grandfather Charles Samuel Ryser. He has always been there for me when I needed him. He has been my protector, a provider, a dearest friend to me. He has taught me many lessons in life, like honesty and hard work. He has also taught me how to relax and how to have fun, with our vacations, road trips and family adventures to the cabin and to new places to explore. He is the one who put a fishing pole into my hands and taught me how to fish. He taught me that you can feed a man a fish and you will only feed that man for a day. Or you can teach that man how to fish and that man will be able to feed himself for a lifetime. My grandfather loves sports. Football and basketball. If he wasn't watching a game on TV he was enjoying a game in person. I loved how my grandfather used to carry me around on his shoulders. I was able to see the world better from a higher, clear perspective. My grandfather loved to make homemade bread every couple of days with his bread machine. I loved his homemade bread, it was delicious. My grandfather loved ice cream. I only remember him eating chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. He was never brave enough to try all of the different flavors of ice cream that we have today. He loved Root beer soda too. My grandfather taught me how to mow the lawn and how to do yard work. I have a picture of me at 4 years old with a swimming suit on, mowing his backyard. I would help him with the yard work and pick raspberries for my grandmother in their backyard so that she could make homemade raspberry preserves that tasted so yummy. I am not going to say goodbye to my grandfather. I am going to say until we meet again. You will always hold a special place in my heart Grandpa Charlie. With my memories of you, I will always cherish you and the life that you have lived. The moments when I grieve and miss you, I will close my eyes and think back and I will remember you. You are dearly and greatly loved and greatly missed. I look forward to the day when we are reunited. May your soul be filled with eternal happiness. Love always, your granddaughter AmyJodie.

I am the daughter J. Kristin Ryser of Charles Samuel Ryser, and my daughter is Amy J. Thomas his granddaughter. My dad was a very understanding, and compassionate dad. He had a sense of humor and could bring a smile to people. On Father’s Day 2022, he was so happy to receive presents, family, and other visitors.
Dad loved root beer and chocolate and would always have it around, and would offer it to those who went to see him at Beehive homes of Salt Lake.
Dad was born near Liberty Park, in Salt Lake City and was mostly raised in the avenues of Salt Lake. Dad loved the color of blue, like the sky, and loved the outdoors.
When I lived with dad and Ruth for a short time while I was on my graduate internship at Dilworth Elementary School in Salt Lake, we were praying over the dinner and he quietly said to our Heavenly Father (Lord Father God), that he firmly believes God is in him. Be assured that dad is saved and has passed to immortality, and has served Christ Jesus, his community, and his church well.
Since April 2020 up to the day of his recent passing he has served as the leader of our family Prayer Ministry, giving the opening and closing prayers for our weekly phone conference Bible Studies and on occasion at Beehive Homes of Salt Lake. One thing I learned from dad is that a person is never to old to serve in a ministry (even at 99 years old). Times when dad did not feel so good, he still gave the opening and closing prayers even though he did not feel like it. The Lord supplied him with mighty strength for his ministry. Dad has passed on while he has been working in the Prayer Ministry and our Father God knows this and is very pleased with his son Charles Samuel Ryser (my dad). This should not be a grieving time but for dad make it a celebration of Life of his accomplishments and know he will receive a wonderful crown of exaltation. Amy and I will truly miss him.
J. Kristin Ryser
