An ode to Bryan Schempf... my attorney and friend. A light - steady, strong, and tall. When the seas of life churned deep its foam And the storm was about to overtake me When my boat was tossed about under the vast dome And darkness was all I could see When great waves seemed prime to end it all Seemed prime to overwhelm the vessel There was a light - steady, strong, and tall Ensuring chaos would no longer reign and revel Guide me through the wild waters and wind To the ground of sand...

We are shocked to learn of Bryan's passing. He and Marilyn were our neighbors on Poquoson, and we visited their home and Bryan's practice a few yrs back. Such a wonderful person and family man. Our heart goes out to the family and Marilyn , his very special wife. May he soar in the heavens above as much as he did on earth. We will miss his smile and warm personality. Jean and Ron Nelsen

I am shocked to just learn, Bryan passed away. I met him over 15 years ago, as he was the lawyer of my ex husband during our divorce. Then in 2012 when my ex passed away, he had assigned Bryan to be the trustee of my then young children trusts. Initially this was kind of difficult for me, but eventually it all worked out in the end. I´m saddened to learn he can no longer be. My warmest condoleances to his wife and children and the rest of his family and friends. I hope you find solace, Bryan...

It is with great sadness in my heart that I heard today that Bryan has passed away. I was a client of Bryan for a personal matter and hired Bryan in 2019, he was devoted to his profession, and he worked tirelessly on my case. He has always made me, and my daughter feel that we were in great hands. I will forever be grateful for all that he was able to accomplish while working on my case. I was sad to learn at the beginning of 2023 that he was no longer practicing law since his diagnosis. My...

I worked for Colonel Schempf when he was the Staff Judge Advocate at US Army Training and Doctrine Command when it was at Fort Monroe, VA. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Colonel Schempf was a great JAG attorney/Army officer, a strategic thinker, and wonderful mentor. My deepest condolences to his family.

I worked at Atlantic Title while he was with JBWK.. I was also a client of his and he represented by son. I thought very highly of Bryan and I am saddened by his death. He was a special man.

I worked with Mr. Schempf at Stein and Smith years ago. He was a fantastic attorney and I really enjoyed working with him. I referred several people to him when he opened his own practice as I knew he would take great care of them. He will be missed by everyone that knew him, but mostly his family. May God watch over and bless his family during this difficult time. My prayers and condolences are with all of you. Michelle Cain.
