Rhyatt Michael Mez was a blessing given to us on January 21, 2025, in Spearfish, SD, to his loving parents Hunter Mez and Kaylee Sloan. This cherished time was not long as Rhyatt earned his wings on April 5, 2025.
Rhyatt’s sweet smile warmed the hearts of all he showed, his eyes made time stand still. No one loved the treasured snuggles more than him. Rhyatt’s favorite things included watching the world move around him. He loved gazing at his sister, Sloane, as she always made sure she was reading to him that he had a toy to look at and study. His sister and parents were so excited to show him how fun summer would be.
He now watches over his father, Hunter Mez; and his mother, Kaylee Sloan; his best big sister, Sloane Norris; paternal grandparents, Marvin Ulmer of Rapid City, SD, and Jamie (Zane A.) Mez of Belle Fourche, Sd; maternal grandparents, PJ (Brandi) Sloan of Belle Fourche, SD; along with many aunts and uncles, Kimber Mez of Belle Fourche, SD, Covey Ulmer of Hermosa, SD, Dominic (Bailey S.) Ulmer of Rapid City, SD, Marcus Ulmer of Laramie, WY, and Sam of Hermosa, SD.
Rhyatt is looked over in heaven by two great uncles, Jeremy Sechser and Jesse Sechser; a great-great-grandfather, Paul Price, among many more extended family who will take such good care of our baby until we can be with him again.
Visitation will be held at Fidler-Isburg Funeral Chapel in Spearfish, SD, from 9AM-11AM on Thursday, April 10, 2025. Pastor Jean Helmer will officiate the service that will begin at 11AM, following the visitation in the Fidler-Isburg Funeral Chapel. The family would love to have friends join them at the Moose Lodge in Belle Fourche, SD, for food and company after services.
