Plain and simple Bryant was one the good guys. The world needs more people like him. My condolences.

Bryant had an infectious smile. I will always remember his big laugh and that smile. He was always willing to help anyone and could fix just about anything with an engine or motor in it! He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his children and grandchildren, they were the joy of his life.

He was a man of few words but always willing to help out. I would love when we would come to visit! I always thought of him as the protector, because of him being such a big man. I couldn't wait to sit in his lap and have his big arms squeeze me. These are the fondest memories that I have of him.
