Gary W. Bryan

Kaleb,
Your fathers words and actions will have more positive impact than you will ever know. I still think about him weekly, mostly when I'm at church on Sundays or thinking about my own dad( Tim ). I feel blessed for having known him.

It has been 3 years since his death. The fire that burns inside me of motivation, inspiration, and positive energy I know only comes through God and the everlasting spirit of my father that had 59 great years to make his impact.

In the early 1990’s my teenage son, Ben, said to me, “Dad, you need to meet my Rio Hondo Sunday School teacher, Gary Bryan. He’s a cool dude and he loves to fish almost as much as you.” We drove over to Gary and Alma’s home in San Benito and I met Gary. Since that day, Gary’s name has appeared hundreds of times in a log I keep of all my fishing and hunting trips. Gary became one of my very best friends. He and I effortlessly shared our successes and our failures. We each edified the other....

To Alma, Kaleb, Sunny, & to the rest of his precious family,
Gary was such a wonderful man, and will be missed greatly. Cassie & Kaleb have grown up together, and we have seen the love over the years he has shown for his family. Our loving thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Benajeane, Cassie, Curtis, and Cameron Jones

Kaleb and Alma, I am very sorry on your loss of a great man. I had the opportunity of meeting Gary (and his family) through baseball in the summer of 07 when he and Carl Wells asked my son Adam to play on the Raptors and asked me to help coach. I really enjoyed the time with Gary and his family during that summer. We had a great run. I enjoyed seeing Gary and his enthusiasm for the game and love and joy of watching Kaleb playing baseball. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Gary was a good friend. You could always count on him to be your "back up".
Gary was always fun to be around. I enjoyed our visit so much at our 40th HS reunion and it was an honor to meet Alma.
My condolences to the family. May God bless you.

Gary was a special guy. Always full of laughs, love, and happiness. Many memories, and so thankful that God brought Gary into our lives.

Gone but not forgotten, we will see you again in heaven. Pati and Stanley
