Ryker Scott Goering, of Hutchinson, infant son of Brad and Jennifer Goering, went to be with Jesus on February 5, 2022, at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha, NE. He was born November 2, 2021, in Hutchinson.
Ryker may have only lived on this earth a short time, but he was full of personality and sass. He was a very observant little guy with endless expressions that told you exactly what he was thinking or what he wanted. Ryker loved his pacifier, music/background tunes, stories, and being held. He absolutely despised baths, tummy time, and diaper changes.
Since Ryker lived all his life in hospitals, he became very accustomed to the constant beeping of machines and doctor speeches. Ryker eventually learned to sleep right through them. Although he did always let his parents know when his “favorite” doctor was on the way by filling his diaper excessively (literally every time). Ryker also loved all of his nurses and other support people. Attention was something he definitely knew how to get, and he thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.
Ryker is survived by: his parents; grandparents, Greg and Pam Goering of Inman, Brian and Joyce Lies of Kingman; uncles and aunts, Jordan and Amanda Goering of Inman, Chris and Ashley Joly of Wichita, Bradley Lies of Minneola, Jerrod Lies of Hays; and cousins, Mya Goering and Amelia Joly.
