David Bryan Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 31, 2024.
David Bryan, a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2024, at the age of 70. His departure leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew him.

David was born in Hastings, MI on April 27, 1954 and spent his life dedicated to his family. His enduring love and commitment to his children, Michael Bryan, Holly (Patrick) Williams, Chuck (Jennifer) Bryan, and Nicolas (Davina) Bryan, shaped the lives of his family and left a legacy of strength and compassion.

 

David's legacy also extends to his 10 cherished grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, who were a source of immense joy and pride for him. His kindness, wisdom, and sense of humor touched everyone he met, and his stories and laughter will be dearly missed.

 

His memory will be honored by the many lives he touched through his actions and words.

A celebration of David's life will be held on August 5th, 2024, from 2pm to 5pm, at the American Legion in Caledonia, MI. The family welcomes all who knew and loved David to join them in remembering a remarkable man.

 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a cancer charity of your choice.

 

David Bryan's spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends, and his memory will be cherished forever.

Even when I wasn't your daughter in law anymore you still were a part of my life. I enjoyed our talks and your uplifting me even when you were going through tough times you never failed to put a smile on my face or make me laugh. I cherish the great memories I have of when the children were little with you and Lily and the happy times we all shared. I'll miss ya dad! God speed!
