He was a devoted Raiders fan, enjoyed watching wrestling religiously, riding his motorcycle and spending quality time with friends and family. He would always send tons of funny TikTok videos, recipes and any other crazy things he wanted to look at and make us laugh.

Keith will be remembered for his loving and friendly nature, always sporting a smile. He will be known for his kindness, generosity, and pride in his work. A family person and a great friend, Keith touched the lives of many with his warm heart and unwavering dedication. Once you were his family, you were family for life.

Ryan Joseph Desemo, 42 of Sterling, KS, passed away May 24, 2024. 

He was born April 23, 1982, in Great Bend, Kansas, the son of Dan and Kathy (Burditt) Desemo. 

Ryan resided in Sterling for the last ten years, formerly of Great Bend. As a young man, he was an active participant in Boy Scouts and was chosen for Order of the Arrow, both of which shaped him into the man who wouldn't turn down a challenge and never stopped serving others. 

He began his journey as a musician in 5th grade, passionately playing trumpet through college, and participating in City, Marching, and Jazz band, to name a few. 

He graduated from Great Bend High School with the class of 2001, and was blessed with a group of loyal long term friends, but is remembered by all who went to school with him as a kind soul with a contagious smile. He received an Associate of Science degree from Barton County Community College, and a bachelor’s degree in Information Networking and Telecommunications from Fort Hays State University in Hays, KS. He was a part of Alpha Kappa Psi, business fraternity at FHSU.

Ryan worked for Imagine IT in Sterling for the last ten years, a dedicated employee. He loved cars, riding and working on his motorcycles; camping and the outdoors. Ryan loved all music, but especially when he could experience it live, traveling to Winfield, KS with his wife Melissa for 20+ years to attend the Walnut Valley Festival. 

Caring little of others opinions, all Ryan needed was a good song to show off his best dance moves and enjoy the moment. He never took himself too seriously and had a smile that lit up the room; and getting a photo of him without a silly face was quite a challenge. He started helping with all kinds of family projects at an early age, and this was something that continued throughout his life. Ryan enthusiastically and willingly would help anyone, and showed patience and kindness to all. He cherished his time spent with family and friends, and was so deeply loved by all.

On October 22, 2011, he married Melissa Beck in Claflin, Kansas.

 </figure>Ryan Joseph Desemo, 42 of Sterling, KS, passed away May 24, 2024. He was born April 23, 1982, in Great Bend, Kansas, the son of Dan and Kathy (Burditt) Desemo. Ryan resided in Sterling for the last ten years, formerly of Great Bend. As a young man, he was an active participant in Boy Scouts and was chosen for Order of the Arrow, both of which shaped him into the man who wouldn't turn down a challenge and never stopped serving others. He began his journey as a musician in 5th grade, passionately playing trumpet through college, and participating in City, Marching, and Jazz band, to name a few. He graduated from Great Bend High School with the class of 2001, and was blessed with a group of loyal long term friends, but is remembered by all who went to school with him as a kind soul with a contagious smile. He received an Associate of Science degree from Barton County Community College, and a bachelor’s degree in Information Networking and Telecommunications from Fort Hays State University in Hays, KS. He was a part of Alpha Kappa Psi, business fraternity at FHSU.Ryan worked for Imagine IT in Sterling for the last ten years, a dedicated employee. He loved cars, riding and working on his motorcycles; camping and the outdoors. Ryan loved all music, but especially when he could experience it live, traveling to Winfield, KS with his wife Melissa for 20+ years to attend the Walnut Valley Festival. Caring little of others opinions, all Ryan needed was a good song to show off his best dance moves and enjoy the moment. He never took himself too seriously and had a smile that lit up the room; and getting a photo of him without a silly face was quite a challenge. He started helping with all kinds of family projects at an early age, and this was something that continued throughout his life. Ryan enthusiastically and willingly would help anyone, and showed patience and kindness to all. He cherished his time spent with family and friends, and was so deeply loved by all.On October 22, 2011, he married Melissa Beck in Claflin, Kansas.Survivors include his wife - Melissa Beck; parents - Dan and Kathy Desemo; sister - Sara Butler and her husband Caden, and children, Breeley and Cayson; grandmother - Shirley Desemo; aunt and uncle - Ann and Chris Baca and their children Kalin, Kolten, and Kilah; aunt - Gwen Huck; father and mother-in-law - Jim and Carol Beck; brother and sister-in-law Daniel and Ashley Beck and their children Maddison, Everett, and Henry; lifelong best friends - Josh and Laura Piland, and their children, Jeremiah, Micah, and Elijah, and many other cherished family and friends.Ryan is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Joe B.

Our dear mother, Cynthia Sue Davis, of Marion, Kansas sadly passed away on May 20, 2024, in Hutchinson, Kansas at the age of 69. She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her the most, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother, sister and aunt.

Cynthia was born on October 15, 1954, in Reno, Nevada, the eldest of seven children of Gary and Sarah (Finch) Hunt. She is survived by her loving husband, Ronald Davis, and her cherished daughter, Tammy Depperschmidt and son-in-law, Thomas Depperschmidt; her beloved grandchildren, BreiAunna Rose of Fullerton, California, Patrick Bankston, Josh Bankston, Kailynn Depperschmidt, Centhiyah Bankston, Kaitlyn Bankston, and Hunter Depperschmidt all of Hutchinson, Kansas; her siblings, Harry (Patty) Hunt of Martindale, Texas, Kevin (Laurie) Hunt of Coos Bay, Oregon, Geralyn (Mike) Cherry of Pismo Beach, California, Brenda (Todd) Frank of Mesa, Arizona, and Kendra Chambers of Indio, California. Cindy was preceded in death by her son, Gary Gene Obie Davis of Marion, Kansas, her cherished grandson, Dwayne Depperschmidt, her loving parents of Kerrville, Texas, and her beloved sister, Trudi Hunt of Kerrville, Texas.

Cindy worked as a cashier, baker and gardener. Ronnie wanted her to stop working at Plant Kingdom because she brought all the plants, trees, and flowers home for him to plant. She particularly loved strawberries and tomatoes. Cindy was passionate about cooking, crocheting and baking. Her talent for making the best fried chicken, yummy breads and delicious cinnamon rolls will be forever missed by her family. In her teens, Cindy would come home with donuts and hide them from her siblings in the washer. Later in life, she worked at Wenchells and her kids and grandkids were often spoiled with donuts and her special Dr. Pepper syrup formula which she made just to Tammy’s liking. Cindy enjoyed sitting by the campfire telling stories, making s’mores and camping with her family and friends. Cindy spoiled her grandchildren with snacks when they went camping. She particularly loved joining her son, Gary Gene and her husband, Ronnie, for a motorcycle ride.

A celebration of life will be on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 2:00 pm. at her daughter’s home in Hutchinson, Kansas. The family requests donations be made to the Phoenix Hospice, who provided excellent comfort and care for Cindy and her family in her final days or the Parkinson's Foundation to increase awareness of this devastating disease. We will forever miss Cindy’s laughter, her caring words, her friendly smile and her love of camping and motorcycle riding.
