Ryan Julson
Ryan Jacob Julson was born June 14, 2006, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, WI. Son of Matthew, Melissa, and little brother to Justin. Ryan was known for his bright blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, and red beard.
Ryan was fiercely competitive and ambitious. As a recent graduate of Eleva-Strum Central High School, RJ left everything out on the football field, track, and throwing ring. At home, he was known to abruptly leave a lost cribbage match or Xbox game, but never pause one. He never lost an argument. Beyond his competitiveness, he was loyal, stoic, and witty. He was musically talented earning honors playing his tenor sax. Ryan enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, water sports and random adventures. He lived authentically, always going his own way. Ryan was just beginning his adult life and looked forward to following in his dad and brother's footsteps into the pipe trades. At his death, he was employed as a pre-apprentice at Tweet/Garot Mechanical in Altoona.
He is survived by his dad and stepmom, Matthew and Jenna Julson; mom and stepdad, Melissa and Justin Larsen; and beloved siblings, Justin Julson, Reed and Piper Julson and Anna Larsen; grandparents, Larry and Margaret Julson, Jerry (Cheerio) and Wendy Campbell, Terry and Jackie Grotthus, and Allen and Judy Larsen; aunts and uncles, Andrew Julson, Ryan and Lisa Kleist, Adam and Jessica Thompson, and Jacob and Montana Grotthus; great grandparents, Pam and Mel Klaustermeier, Oliver Grotthus and Bonnie Stewart; cousins, Victoria Anderson, Westley and Wyatt Kleist; best friends, Jacob Olson, Alex Anderson, Carter Gunderson, Carter Burback, Destiny Hoyt and Jordan Moen; as well as many other family and friends.
Ryan was preceded in death by his great grandparents, Paul Kadinger, Jerry and Marlene Campbell, Orvin and Lorraine Julson, Elmer and Harriet Hommes and Marian Grotthus.
