Dear Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Bryan. He was a great friend growing up. We burned up the streets with our bikes then eventually our cars! I will miss him but will see him again someday!
My prayers are with you all.

Bryan and I went to school together and had lots of mutual friends. Last time I saw him was when he was working at INA. He always had such a sweet smile and I remember our conversation and how much he adored his little girl. It really warmed my heart. He will surely be missed!

I only met Bryan one time, but he was a good friend to my son. They loved to talk "fishing". May the precious memories you have, and the comfort that only our Lord can give be with you during this time and forever...

May God Bless Bryan's soul and his freinds and family. I only met Bryan once at a get-together for an Iraqi War Veteran at Lake Fork. Bryan and Arnold were the life of the party. The type of folks you felt like you had known your entire life. Bryan and I became fast friends and communicated regularly via The Texas Fishing Forum and telephone. Always talking about fishing and deer hunting.
I am truly heartbroken for the entire Reid family and will keep you in my prayers. And to Bryan, my brother, may you rest in eternal peace.

Please accept my sympathies for your loss. Bryan and I had worked together at INA. I will always remember when he would come to work with his red sunburned face, except where his sunglasses were, after fishing a weekend. He will be sorely missed.
