Donald Ray Bear Bryant

I want to pass along my family's condolences. We knew Don through his barber shop where I and my sons would get our hair cut. Met his Dad, as well. Always a great smile and would remember details of our lives. He always asked about Lake City (where I grew up). He was an admirable man. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. God Bless.

Uncle Don was a very kind and compassionate man. His gentle spirit will be missed and remembered always. We love you.

Patty and I were saddened with the passing of Donald.He was a good friend and a great athlete. We always enjoyed seeing you and Donald at the reunions.I'll always remember working on the reunions with Donald and the committe.Of course our job was sticking on address labels and licking stamps but, we always did a good job and had fun doing it. He will be missed by Patty and I, and all of his many friends.

Don was a good friend during our high school years and I always admired his athletic prowess. But it was during the many years following graduation that I learned he was a better person. We will miss you, Don.

My heart is still hurting over the loss of my dear brother and Daddy. I, along with my whole family, will get through this rough time of missing Donald and Daddy by just knowing that they are together - as they were for so many years working side by side at the barber shop. Donald is no longer in pain and Daddy is there by his side forever. Love and miss you Donald and Daddy.

We were so lucky to have Don our cousin and then become our brother in law. Tom and Don shared wonderful times as kids and then to become kin again when he married Judi. He was warm and gentle and we will miss him forever. Glad you are in no more pain.Love,

Donald was so much more than just a classmate or friend he was just an all-around great guy. He loved all of us and we loved him. He truly was a gentle giant. Most of all We are so grateful that Donald and Judi loved each other and had so many good years together. Thanks for the memories.

From the moment we met Don and Judi looking for a lot in our neighborhood we knew we would become great friends. Walt and I will cherish all the fun times and wonderful memories spent together. We'll always remember Don as such a kind hearted person with a beautiful smile, but most of all how much he loved and adored Judi. We know you are going through an extremely difficult time Judi, but want you to know you will always remain close and we will always be there for you.
