Stanley Wayne Lycan
December 13, 1921 - April 4, 2009
Obituary
Stanley Wayne Lycan, age 87, died peacefully Saturday, April 4th, 2009 in Des Moines, WA. If you knew Stan, you knew he always had a joke to tell and was willing to lend a hand anytime. Of course there was always time for a game of cribbage. He enjoyed life with his family and friends. Stan is now with his wife, Ruth Stout Lycan, of 53 years. They are running hand in hand laughing and jumping through fields of daisies. Stan is survived by his daughters, Louise Witt and Jean Nibbe Dennis; grandchildren, Heidi Hedberg Josh, Eric Witt and James Lycan Autumn; great-grandchildren, Dustin, Kalysta, Sylvana, Caleb and Jack. Stan’s son, Robert C Lycan, preceded him in death.
A celebration of his life will be held on Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at 3:00 pm at BONNEY-WATSON Washington Memorial, 16445 International Blvd., SeaTac, WA 206 242-1787. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers contributions be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
What I remember most about Uncle Stan is his creativeness in wood working. I was really impressed with quite a bit of his work. I also remember his love for life. It seemed that he was always enjoying life, his family and his home. I know that he and Aunt Ruth are frollicking together hand in hand. Uncle Stan, thanks for your enthusiasm for life.
Love always, Sandra

Words cannot express our heartfelt appreciation to you and yours for all the wonderful memories I have of spending time with your dad and mom, plus you kids. My funnest recollection of your dad, was a deer hunting experience up North Fork above Ogden Canyon, we spent the night in a huge tent, of course the night before opening. It was very cold, and it had snowed that night. Your dad and I was sitting on a knoll and some people was supposedly spooking the deer up from the bottom of the draw. I had the binoculars up to my eyes, and all of a sudden the deer seemed to be right on top of us. I screamed and Uncle Stan was wondering what my problem was. Of course when he shot they scattered, but I never did hear the end of that one. Your mom and dad always made everyone welcome at their home for ever, and ever.
I drank my first iced tea at their house and quit liked it. Your dad truly was a huge tease, and was loved for it. It’s been too long since we were all together. Enjoyed so much having you guys visit us in Vernal many moons ago, with that also comes some great memories. The Stanly W. Lycan family will always be close to my heart. Love each and everyone of you so very much. Thanks for the memories. If your ever back down in Utah again let us know, and we will make every effort possible to see you.
With Love and Sympathy,

Dear Louise and Family — With deep sympathy for your loss and with joy for knowing a life so well lived as Stan’s. The special bond the two of you shared was evident, built on mutual strength, caring, respect, and love. I feel fortunate to have witnessed that. May your memories bring peace. Stan and I share a December 13th birth date. Warm regards, Donna.
Dear Louise and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your father’s death. In knowing Louise for many years, I know his transition would been made easier by all the love you all have given him. I believe he is in a better place now and free of pain and sorrow. I know he will be with you in your daily lives and holding you in his love.
I will always remember the lovely pieces of carving that he donated to the Satir auctions. The love that went into his pieces was visible and felt. I will remember and hold dearly him and his loving kindness.
I will also remember with fondness ,his relationship with Louise and his family, as well as his good friend ,Margarita.
My prayers are with your family.May your soul rest in peace.
I will forever remember my Grandpa Lycan. I’m now the last Lycan of the family to take on the Lycan name along with my son Caleb. The Lycan name will live on for generations to come. I will miss you Grandpa. Some day I will see you, Grandma and dad soon in the life after.
I only met Grandpa once but the time that I had with him was wonderful. He had such a great spirit. When he met his great grand children; Kalysta, Dustin, and Savannah he lighted up and always was cheerful with them. He never had the chance to meet Caleb, but he was able to see pictures. I will miss him, but I know he is in a better place and with his love of his life.
love,
Autumn grand daughter
We wish to express our sympathy in the passing of your beloved Stan. We were long time friends of Stan & Ruth. Allen was a co-worker of Stan at Cream O’Weber Dairy. We remember him with fondness.
I am glad I had the opportunity to meet Stan in person and hear about his life. I’m sure he appreciated all the care Louise and his family provided for him for many years.
Thank you Stan to you and to your family for the gift of knwing you and the opportunity to be part of your life…thanks for all you gave, and for your learning to receive so we can also give to you…we will miss you and at the same time is so good to know you are free now and able to walk and run…Sunday breakfast will always be so special having shared so many of them with you…love and peace to you and to your family…
