I am deeply saddened to learn of Ciro’s passing. He was such a character! I always enjoyed my visits with him and learning about his hobbies and passions. I had only known Ciro for the past year and a half, but we connected early on and shared numerous conversations. Ciro was hard working and dedicated to his patients. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have know him and receive his chiropractic care. Fly high, Ciro. You will always be loved and appreciated. 🙏

Ciro altered my chiropractic career. Prior to my graduation Ciro explained the beauty of traditional chiropractic care in a way that made total sense. His interaction with me changed how I've practiced for the last 30 plus years. Love you Ciro! Cory

Ciro, came into our lives some years ago. He treated us, my Son Michael and treated the man I'm married to, Ron Otto when we resided in Missouri for 11 years. He was a very caring person. A friend of ours the Reese referred us to him while their family also received the wonderful Blair method chiropractic treatment. To this day we continue to receive care from one of his friend Dr. Hug whom Ciro referred us to in the continuous Blair method care. I am so happy we got to know whenever we were treated by Ciro both him and Susan. We also met his two Sons that worked along with their Dad and BJ which sometimes we would try to get BJ to talk to us. BJ probably taught we were cra cra 🤣. Our love, hugs, and prayers go out to all the family. Ciro will be missed.

Patient and friend ,Lake Winnebago ,Missouri

I am deeply saddened by Ciro's passing. He literally gave me my life back after an injury to my lower back had me in physical therapy for 2 years. If I had known about him before the injury, it never would have occurred. Seven doctors (including several chiropractors) had failed to even look at my neck (which was the root of the problem). Ciro got me straightened out and we became very good friends. I loved talking to him about music (I'm a professional musician), politics, animals, and life. I always felt better (physically) after his adjustments, but it was more than that...I always left feeling totally uplifted in spirit. I will miss him more than I can say. I'm also very grateful he sent me to his son Drake for adjustments several years ago. I can't imagine not having him around, but am so grateful that at least for a few years, I counted him as one of my most treasured friends. God bless!!!

To be a patient of Dr. Ciro is to be a friend. He made everyone feel special and he wanted the best for you. It was really my husband who needed his expertise in working with trigeminal neuralgia. The disease causes severe pain in the face. It has been called the suicide disease. The pain is so excruciating. He made my husband, Dr. Ed Haith, able to take living with this horrible disease more bearable to live with. God bless his beautiful soul. He is one of a select few that knew how to treat this disease. He helped me with my back and also my daughter. We visited him as a family and made it a fun outing. We live In Leawood, Kansas. My husband passed away 2; years ago. My daughter and I will miss our trips to Independence to see our beloved friend. Our deepest sympathy to the entire family, Rickie Haith

Susan and Family and B.J., I am so sorry to hear of Ciro's passing. For many years I looked to him for the latest in health news and for a gentle laugh when I came in for treatment. His commitment to healthy living was impressive. The world has lost a wise and gentle soul who touched many. May you be blessed with the strength to go on without him. Many blessings, Clare Roberts

I basically grew up in the Rustici house and I was never able to truly thank Ciro for all the things he taught me growing up with Drake. He was always more than generous and a very kind man. I am very sorry for the families loss of such a great man. There will never be another quite like him. Thank You Dr. Rustici.

Friendship with Ciro was a gift from Almight God. From his first year in college he was full of inspiration and kindness. And each year thereafter, our friendship grew stronger. Ciro's talents expanded into many skills, especially healing those very will. I'm 88,so it won't be long til we meet again and embrace. A kiss on his cheek will have to wait. Love for Ciro remains in my brain and heart, we really are not so far apart.

I first met Dr. Rustici nearly 25 years ago. My wife and I drove 5 hours to KC to take a seminar that he and Dr. Morrison were teaching on Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic. Over the years, we took a number of his seminars. Ciro was so humble, caring and kind! The shear number to condolences here today are a testament to the man Ciro was and the Lives that he touched! Praying for each of You! God Speed Brother!

Ciro's love and passion for life was infectious. I don't think I've ever known anyone who embraced and immersed himself in so many endeavors and excelled at each, which was truly inspirational. All this, while continuing to commit himself to other people's well being. He will be missed.

Jana Abeln Jun 21, 2023

Ciro was one of the most caring people I know and he was always putting others before himself. I worked for him for three years and he always knew how to brighten my day. He would walk in almost every morning and say, "Good morning! I love seeing your smile!" He was quite the charmer. He always said the funniest phrases and knew how to light up the room. I know he changed so many peoples lives for the better. I will miss Ciro every day. My love goes out to all of his family and friends.

I am still in shock as I am sure you all are. Ciro was our constant, he had the best memory and shared so many stories of all our families wonderful times together, He would always love telling everyone how he changed my diapers. But he ALWAYS made me feel so special and beautiful. He had that gift of giving joy and encouragement to so many. He had healing hands and truly believed in his work. I am going to miss him so much. I think I saw him almost every week, most of the time. I love you all so much, let us keep his memory alive. Kiss the sky for me Ciro and give everyone a big hug. I'm sure you are all celebrating with Jesus.

Ciro Rustici was a wonderful man and a brilliant doctor. He helped thousands of people with their physical health by his chiropractic adjustments and their mental health by making them smile with his stories and compassion. I am one of those people. He literally saved my life and returned me to a happy, healthy lifestyle. I will be forever grateful to him for helping me and for training his sons, Wade and Drake, to continue his legacy.

We met while he was teaching a class at Cleveland 49 years ago. He introduced me to the Blair technique and provided help and guidance whenever I needed it. He also provided chiropractic care to me whenever I needed for the whole time. We laughed together EVERY time I was around him – and I always looked forward to being there. Although I wasn’t around him very often over the last 35 years, he was always a part of my life and I will sorely miss him.
