Ryan Edward Gullett

Ryan Edward Gullett, 55, of Palmyra, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family after a courageous 2-year battle with stage 4 glioblastoma on September 10, 2026. Born in Columbus, OH, he was the son of Lani Louise (Day) Pettit and the late William Edward "Bill" Gullett. He was married over 24 years to his beloved wife Jenny (Bixler) Gullett.

He served honorably in the United States Navy and was discharged in 1994 with the rank of Petty Officer Third Class. Ryan, a lifelong and passionate Ohio State Buckeye fan, cared deeply to those around him, and enjoyed spending quality time with his loved ones. He loved hard rock metal music and could listen to Metallica on repeat. He was known to be an animal whisperer with a warm and loving heart. He adored his Saint Benard, Betty.

Ryan took tremendous pride in his work at Wenger Feeds Group as a supervisor for 11 years. His dedication, loyalty, and hard work earned the respect and genuine affection of those he worked alongside. During his battle with cancer, Wenger stood beside Ryan and his family with extraordinary compassion and generosity.

In addition to Jenny, Ryan is survived by 3 children: Avery Gullett, Greyson Sison, and Adam Bixler (Caitlin); 2 grandchildren: Phoenix and Hendrix Bixler; brother Aaron Gullett (Lynda); stepfather Mike Pettit; nephew Nate Gullett and nieces Kalyn McKeon and Victoria Gullett; mother-in-law Jean Silva, father-in-law Fred Bixler, brothers-in-law George Bixler (Marya) and Grey Bixler (Meire), and many aunts, uncles, and cousins in Ohio.

A graveside service with military honors will be held at 2:30 PM on Thursday, September 17th, 2026, at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, 60 Indiantown Gap Road, Annville, PA 17003.
