Ryan Palmer

Ryan Evan Palmer passed away at forty-four years of age on January 30th, 2023 while on vacation with his wife in Mexico. Born in Blackfoot, Idaho on April 5th, 1978 to Evan and Karin Palmer, Ryan was the middle of five children. To Ryan, nothing was more important than family, and on November 4th, 1999 he married Rebecca Brailsford, he was later sealed for time and all eternity to Rebecca on July 21, 2000, in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. They were blessed with three children; Trevan, Brayden, and Carson. Ryan and Rebecca, through their examples, raised them to be exemplary men, and the family currently resides in Saratoga Springs, Utah.

Ryan grew up with a love of the outdoors and physical activities. From wakeboarding to mountain biking, snowboarding to skydiving, Ryan was always ready for whatever adventure came his way. He also excelled in sports and received accolades in wrestling and football. Most of all, Ryan was constantly seeking to become the best man he could, and whether that was through his service with the youth of his church or by pushing himself to read and learn the best strategies for self-improvement, it was this desire to succeed that allowed him to work his way from Vice President of Sales to the CEO of Zija International.

Ryan is survived by his beautiful wife of twenty-three years, Rebecca, his sons Trevan, Brayden, and Carson, his mother and stepfather Karin and Tom Glem, his father and stepmother Evan and Jackie Palmer, and his sisters Angie Palmer and Stefanie Varela, and his brothers Willis and Jeff Palmer. He is preceded in death by his stepfather, Chuck Warner.
