Charles (Cy) Irvin Moyer of Phillipsburg, Kansas, passed away April 7, 2023 at the age of 88 in Highland, Doniphan County, Kansas.  He was born on June 22, 1934 in Severance, Doniphan County Kansas, on the family farm in a house built by his Grandfather.  He was the son of C. I Moyer and Ruth (Corcoran) Moyer.  He was the middle of 3 children with an older and younger sister.  His childhood was spent enjoying the life of a boy on the farm.  At age of 14 he and his family moved to Topeka.

Cy attended grade and middle school at Lavernce School in Severance and Highland, then continued at Topeka High School where he graduated in 1952.  Following high school, he attended Kansas State University in Manhattan, graduating with a degree in animal husbandry in 1957.  His time in Manhattan set him up to become a lifelong "Purple Pride" fan.  While at K State, he was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.  After K State, Cy graduated from the Graduate School of Banking, University of Wisconsin in 1965 and National Trust School, Northwestern University in 1975.

After college, Cy moved to Phillipsburg KS where he began working with the Culbertson family in First National Bank's Agricultural department.  He appreciated and valued this lifelong association with the family and community.  In 1967 Cy was elected to the FNB Board of Directors.

In December of 1976, he became the CEO and Executive Vice President of the bank following the untimely death of his friend and mentor Kent Culbertson—a position he held until 1999.   In 1996, he was elected Chairman of the Board, a position he held until the time of his death.

Professional accomplishments for which Cy was most proud include his appointment by President Bush to the President's Council on Rural America from 1990-1992, and his tenure as the Director of the Federal Reserve Bank—Tenth District, Kansas City MO from 1992-1994 and being Chairman of the Kansas Independent Bankers Association.

During Cy's time in Phillipsburg, he became known as a steadfast supporter of the community through his involvement in the United Methodist Church, Highway 36 Association, Phillipsburg Elks Lodge, Phillipsburg Lions Club, Chamber of Commerce, Phillips County and Kansas 4-H, and the Phillipsburg City Council.

Through Cy's early years in Phillipsburg, he found a great friend in McDill "Huck" Boyd.  Cy appreciated Huck's mentorship over many years.  After Mr. Boyd's passing in 1987 Cy was a driving force behind the establishment of the Huck Boyd Institute and remained a Board member until the time of his death.  In addition, Cy was instrumental in the founding and creation of the McDill Huck Boyd Community Center in Phillipsburg.

Cy began serving on the Dane G. Hansen foundation in 1996.  He had learned of Mr. Hansen through his parents and was privileged to have known him before Mr. Hansen passed away.  In 1996 Cy became a member of both the Dane G. Hansen Foundation and Board.  He retired from these positions in December of 2022.  He was an honorary participant in the groundbreaking of the Logan LIFE Center in March of 2023.  The Logan LIFE Center was something Cy strongly believed in and tirelessly supported.

In 1958, Cy married Charlotte Lee Lybarger.  To this union, three children were born: Charles Bryant, Clinton I. and Jaret Lee.  Cy and Charlotte made their home and life in the Phillipsburg community until the time of her passing in 2001. In 2002, Cy was united in marriage to Gladys V. Hazlett Sutton.
