Alan Wesley Wyss
Burns - Oct. 22, 1941 - August 28, 2021
Alan died at his rural Burns, KS home on Saturday August 28,
2021. He was born on October 22, 1941 in Newton, KS, the son of William W. Wyss
& Martha (Criger) Wyss. He graduated from Burns High School in 1960 after
attending De Graff Elementary School for grades 1-8.
Alan was raised on the farm north of De Graff and farmed it
all his adult years until he retired. He continued to live there and had many
friends in the local community. Special thanks to Terry & Pam Lowmaster,
and Sam, Matthew & Becky Spinden who provided support that allowed him to
remain in his home.
Alan enjoyed going to Burns to visit the bank, play dominoes
& eat out at Braum's in El Dorado. He was always willing to play cards, 10
point pitch was the family favorite. He became a bridge player after Clifford
introduced the family to it while he was going to college. Alan was a member of
the Chelsea Square Dancers, on a bowling league and enjoyed fishing &
hunting. He was a lifelong member of Ebenezer Methodist Church. He attended De
Graff Community Church in his later years. He continued to be a 4-H supporter
and purchased two pigs, one goat, one rabbit, one lamb, one peach pie, and a
cookie platter from this past Butler County 4-H Fair. He was very proud of all
the livestock auction ribbons he accumulated over the years, and he always
enjoyed the delicious baked goods he purchased from the Butler County 4-H Fair.
