Ryan Schuyleman

Ryan Alaric Schuyleman, age 49, passed away at his home in East Wenatchee, WA on August 20, 2025, after a hard fight with cancer. Ryan was born to Mike and Janet (McCurdy) Schuyleman on December 2, 1975 in Glasgow, MT, while Mike was in the Air Force. Upon completion of Mike’s military service, they moved back to the Wenatchee Valley. Ryan met his wife, Mandy Luebber, sometime in 1990, when Mandy was in the 8th grade at Pioneer Middle School and Ryan was in the 9th grade at Wenatchee High School. They discussed it a few times, and neither could remember how they actually met, other than it was through Mandy's sister, Traci. Ryan and Mandy became fast friends and were a large part of each other's lives throughout high school, often causing trouble wherever they went. Ryan graduated from Wenatchee High School in 1994 and went on to earn an Associate’s Degree from Wenatchee Valley College. After Mandy graduated from Wenatchee High School in 1995, she joined the Marine Corps with Ryan following in her footsteps (because she was his hero, which is her story and she’s sticking to it) a year later, enlisting in the Marine Corps in 1996. Ryan served as Crash and Fire Rescue and got the pleasure of serving our country at the incredible duty station, 29 Palms, CA. Ryan and Mandy went on to lead separate lives and lost contact for a few years, during which time Ryan’s sons, Skyler and Michael, were born. After an honorable discharge from the Marines in 2000, Ryan returned to Wenatchee, where he worked at Keyes Fibre for a period of time and then started his career at LocalTel where he was the Operations Manager until he retired in June 2025. In July 2019, Ryan and Mandy reconnected and a few months later, Ryan finally manned up and made a move (after decades of claiming he was "friend-zoned"), and they were together from that moment on, marrying in August 2020. While on their honeymoon, Ryan was diagnosed with colon cancer. He bravely fought his illness and, through all his chemotherapy treatments, Ryan played golf constantly. He developed great friendships through his golf games at Rock Island Golf Course and Highlander Golf Course and would often travel to locations in Washington and other states on golf trips. If there was no snow on the ground, Ryan was golfing in his free time. Ryan also loved time with Mandy and their dogs Rigley, Orca, and Sage, watching the Green Bay Packers, traveling, and it was mentioned that he loved golfing. Any chance they could get, Ryan and Mandy would venture on a trip somewhere. Unfortunately, Ryan succumbed to his cancer on August 20, 2025, and changed the course of the lives of those closest to him. Survivors include his wife, Mandy Luebber; sons, Skyler and Michael Schuyleman and Trevor Allen; grandson Braxton Allen; parents, Micheal and Janet; brothers, Nathan (Jane) and Josh (Megan); nephews Cody (Kaisa), Tyler, Joe, Blake, Levi, Parker; and niece, Paisley. Ryan was preceded in death by his nephew, Waylon, and dogs, Scout and Nutmeg. There will be a celebration of Ryan’s life at the Rock Island Golf Course clubhouse on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 5 pm – 8 pm. Light refreshments will be served.
