Ricky Lex (Rick) Kysar

We are heartbroken to share the passing of Ricky "Rick" Lex Kysar, age 72 of Greeley, Colorado. He passed away Friday, September 30, 2022 after a long battle with Dementia.

Rick enjoyed reading, listening to music, art, his dogs, and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He was born and raised in Waynoka, Oklahoma and was a 1968 Waynoka High School graduate. He held a Bachelor of Science degree with a minor in History from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. Throughout his career as a Medical Laboratory Technologist, he managed several hospital laboratories and was an instructor at multiple community colleges. Many have said; "He is one of the smartest, funniest guys they have ever known."
