Deryan Allan Banks

February 1, 1989 ~ August 8, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Deryan A. Banks of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He left us in the arms of his angel on August 8, 2024, at the age of 35. Deryan was a beloved Husband, Father, Son, Brother, and Friend, and his loving nature and selflessness were evident to all; he would have given the shirt off his back to help anyone in need.

A Celebration of Deryan’s life will be held on Saturday, August 31, 2024, in Sioux City, IA. Friends and family are invited to come together to honor his memory and share their stories. A meal will be shared and all are encouraged to honor him in a way that he would have wanted.

Born on February 1, 1989, in Harvey, IL, Deryan Allan Banks was known for his infectious laughter and kind heart. He took immense pride in his family, always celebrating their achievements and supporting them unconditionally. Deryan also had a deep love for breeding pit bulls, dedicating his time and passion to nurturing and raising these loyal companions. His enthusiasm for the breed was matched only by his commitment to ensuring they were well-cared for and loved.

Deryan is survived by his wife, Kara; his mother, Cassandra Teague (Raymond Sr.); his father, Darnell Payne; seven children whom he adored; ten siblings who meant the world to him; and a massive circle of friends who were like family. He was well-loved by everyone and had a large family filled with numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Deryan Banks will forever remain in our hearts, and his legacy of love and joy will continue to inspire those he left behind. Be like Deryan….. love one another, make peace wherever you go, and take pride in family. It is sometimes all we have and all we need.
