Edward Bryant Obituary
He was born on Epiphany, Jan. 6, 1938, in Michigan and was raised in Bradenton, Florida.
He was a proud veteran, having served in the U.S. Air Force. He worked in the aerospace industry, contributing to the success of the Gemini and Apollo space missions. He retired from civil service at Fort Knox in 1998.
He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
He was active in the community as little league football and baseball coach, Scout master, NHHS band dad, volunteer at the food pantry in Bardstown, and handled the senior boxes for Nelson County.
He also was active in the Episcopal and Anglican Churches in E'town. He was a member of Ascension Episcopal Church in Bardstown, serving as acolyte teacher and Verger.
He flew model airplanes, judged major scale RC plane contests and had several model railroads. He enjoyed spending time at his lake house as well.
He was preceded in death by two infant children, Danielle Marie and Christopher Leigh; his sister, Betty Williams; and two nephews.
He will be missed and is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Diane; three sons, David (Valerie), Michael (Jennifer) and Darryl; a daughter, Debbie (Ernie) White; and a "special daughter," Angel. He also is survived by seven grandchildren, Chris, John, Bobby and Michael Meyer, David Bryant, Autumn Bryant (Chris) Blevins and Amber Bryant (Adam) Walker; and 13 great-grandchildren.
A celebration of his life may take place later in the year.
Expressions of sympathy may be made in his memory to Saint Vincent de Paul (SVDP) Bread for Life Community Food Pantry, 219 E. Muir Ave, Bardstown, KY 40004 or The Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758541, Topeka, KS 66675-8541.
