JETT SHRYOCK

A private graveside service, for Jett Richard Shryock, 7, of College Station will be held soon.

A Celebration of Life will be held near his birthday in June.

Jett died on Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2020.

Jett was born on June 1, 2013, to Jason and Kristi Shryock.

Anyone who met Jett Richard Shryock would soon have a smile and was blessed. “Our sweet boy would be the first one to do anything to make you smile. He wanted to take away your sadness,” family members said.

In seven and a half (yes, the half was important to him) short years, he lived life to its fullest and would not want you to live any other way.

“We are blessed to have been touched by his thirst for truly living, appreciating, and enjoying each and every day,” they said.

Whether it was learning to snowboard, working on the Jeep, coming up with new soccer moves, reciting multiplication problems, being a director for his sister’s videos, sneaking some sugar somewhere that he usually did not get to have, cheering on his Aggies, serving as the ‘Mayor’ of his lakeside community, or just playing at game night, he was always there and enjoying it.

“The light of our life went to be with his heavenly father on December 30. Enjoy some fireworks or a beautiful sunrise for him. Most importantly, when your favorite tune comes on, crank it up. We always had to. (His favorite was anything by ETC!),” family members said.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Betty Shryock of Snook; and his aunt, Darla Schulz of Friendswood, both of whom have probably had zero rest since he got to Heaven with them!

Jett is survived by his parents, Jason and Kristi Shryock; his best friend/idol/sister, Eastyn Shryock or E as you could always hear him call her, of College Station; his grandparents, George and Sue Shryock of Snook; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and Oma, and Opa, (some who were blood relatives but so many more who just fiercely loved him).
