Kenneth Bryan Osborne, also known as Bryan, passed away on August 27, 2023, in Johnson City, TN, at the age of 36. Born on September 16, 1986, in Johnson City, Bryan was a beloved son, father, brother, and friend.

Bryan was a kind-hearted person who loved his family dearly. He was an avid bike rider and took joy in exploring the outdoors. In his free time, Bryan enjoyed watching movies and collecting Pok�mon cards. He had a great sense of humor and always went out of his way to make others laugh. Bryan's selflessness was evident in his willingness to give the shirt off his back to help those in need.

He is survived by his loving parents, Rex and Gina Osborne, his girlfriend, Keira Silvers, two sons, Kenneth Xavier (Boochy) and Gabriel King Osborne, and his sister, Alyssia Gandee. Bryan will also be fondly remembered by his nieces, Keri and Elizabeth Arnett, Johnna Gandee, Lindsay Broyles, and nephews, John Gandee and Steven Arnett. He leaves behind uncles, Lynn Osborne and Joey Simms, as well as cousins, Sean Simms, Brooke Laws, Micheala Ingram, Hailey Simms, Amanda Simms, and Jerri Jones.

Bryan was preceded in death by his grandparents, John and Madge Simms, Kenneth and Lou Osborne, and cousin Zachary Simms. He was also preceded by uncles, Dan and Tony Simms, and Timmy Osborne.

Bryan graduated from Daniel Boone High School and went on to work in various fields. He had experience in factory work and handyman tasks, showcasing his dedication and versatility.

In addition to his career, Bryan had a passion for hobbies that brought him joy. Riding his bike, watching movies, and collecting Pok�mon cards were among his favorite pastimes. Bryan also possessed a knack for working with his hands and enjoyed engaging in DIY projects.

A celebration of Bryan's life will be held on September 23, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, at the home of his parents, Rex and Gina Osborne, located at 300 Greenway Dr, Johnson City.

Bryan's warm heart, infectious laughter, and genuine love for his family and friends will be deeply missed. May his memory live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
