Ryland Christensen, an 8th grader at Sidney Middle School was taken from us on November 27, 2018. He was born February 21, 2005 in Sidney, MT to his mother, Angela and a brother Jarod and a sister Desirae.
When Ryland was two years old he gained a stepfather, Corey Salsbury, a brother Gage and a sister, Brynn.
Being the youngest, he was always the entertainment for the family. He could light up a room with that smile and a sparkle in his eye. He is always making us laugh and never let anyone go without a hug.
Ryland loved swimming as we had always told him that he was part fish. He loved to be in any water whether it was the river, the lake, a pool, or a stream. He loved our family trips to Fort Peck to be with his siblings. He loved practicing water skis, knee board and tubing, but his favorite was cliff jumping and showing everybody up and of course entertaining everyone around the campfire every night. One of Rylands favorite times of year was spring time paddle fishing for hours down at the river with friends and family.
He spent a lot of time on the Bell farm with his good friend Jace, getting into mischief every chance they could. He spent his younger years wrestling with his good buddies Zander & Brodie.
Ryland loved his multiple family trips to Minnesota, “Ducklin Dells”, and Las Vegas. He also loved his trips with his Uncle Jeremy and his cousins, Jayda and Kabe.
He spent hours jumping on the trampoline with his friend Shandyn trying new stunts and tried to tell his mamma he was going to be a stuntman when he grew up. He loved spending time at the skate park with his friends, trying his stunts on his bike but mainly he loved his scooters at the park.
In the past year Ryland also connected with his sisters Amanda & Alex Bieber and started building a relationship with them that he very much cherished.
Ryland had a warm and fun-loving spirit that was contagious and magnetic which was felt by all those around him.
He is preceded in death by his great-grandparents Ellen Rayer and Arvin (Chub) Christensen.
Ryland is survived by his mother Angela and dad Corey, grandparents Gary (Kim) Nash, Paul (Nancy Christensen), and Joan Salsbury, brothers Jarod Fasching and Gage Salsbury, sisters Desirae Fasching and Brynn Salsbury, great-grandmother Nancy Christensen, uncle Jeremy Christensen and his children Jayda and Kabe, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
