Rainz Jaret Gerleman was born on August 27, 2003. He came into this world with a rare genetic disease, Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia, but that never stopped him from laughing and moving to the best of his ability. He enjoyed light displays, books being read to him & music. He often laughed with the angels only he could see, and we loved that most about him. Without ever using words, Rainz showed us how to truly care for others. He changed how we see the world and taught us what matters most.
On July 21, 2026, Rainz parted ways with his mortal body to be with his family in spirit. He can now run, talk, sing, and jump in heaven alongside our Almighty Jesus Christ. While we mourn his loss deeply, we comfort ourselves knowing how happy he is in heaven. Imagine how loud that beautiful laugh must have been when he realized he could finally walk.
Rainz leaves behind his loving parents, Shane and Heidi; his brother, Chanz (Bree); his sisters, Seara and Reyo (Logan); and his nephew, Kaden. His lessons of love will stay with us forever. Fly high little bee.
