Yancy Sowers, 45, of Oberlin, KS, passed away on January 3, 2024. He was born on February 9, 1978, in Colby, KS. Yancy was a loving husband to Amanda for 23 years and a dedicated father to his children, Kyra and Kaden. He is survived by his wife and two kids all of the home, parents Armin and Vickie Sowers, his brother Darrick Sowers, niece Kellie Misner, and multiple aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Yancy was preceded in death by his grandparents, Jim and Norma Carmon, as well as Byron and Geraldine Sowers.
Yancy was a hardworking individual who had a deep love for his family and cows. He was known for his sense of humor and enjoyed pulling pranks. Yancy had a selfless nature and would always go out of his way to help those in need, even if it meant coming home and being out all night to finish his own work. He possessed a tenacious and stubborn spirit, which he passed on to his family. His motivation and dedication were unmatched, and he was always willing to put in the extra effort to build something from nothing.
Yancy enjoyed watching his kids compete in sports - often with lots of "suggestions on how to do it better". He loved anything that he could make into a competition. Yancy also enjoyed riding his mini bike, the "Ranch Monkey" often surprising customers when he rode out to the equipment on it. He would often say that animals loved him and the "sale barn dog" (a mini beagle) "Dally" is a testament to that - they were quite the pair (she also enjoyed riding on the mini bike).
Yancy Sowers will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. He truly was as unique as his name. His legacy for his love of God, hard work, selflessness, and determination will continue to inspire those who knew him.
Yancy's life will be celebrated at Plumer-Gobber Funeral Home in Oberlin on January 9, 2024 at 2:00 PM. Visitation will be from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the funeral home.
