Bryan was born Saturday, August 8, 1970 in Cookeville, Tennessee, he was the son of Terry Lee Colson and Glenda Vee (Conley) Hagan.
He was a loving son, brother, husband, father, and friend and the greatest husband in the world to his loving wife. He was always willing to help anyone in need, was very dependable, and he wore his heart on his sleeve.
Bryan is survived by, Wife of 10 years, Lori (Tinch) Colson; Daughter, Kayla Brown and her husband Nathan; Son, Colby Booker; and their "Babies" CoCo and Chanel; Sister, Kimberly Colson; Father, Terry Lee Colson and his wife Susan; Uncle and Aunt, James and Teresa Bradshaw; A host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and special friends.

Bryan attended Cookeville High School as well as Tennessee Tech University. He served in the US Army at the Fort Irwin National Training Center near Barstow, CA and was a Gulf War Veteran.
Bryan worked as a pipeline blaster for many years where he traveled the US. He left that life behind when he and Lori reconnected and came back to Cookeville to start their life together. He and his wife worked together in Brentwood for many years at PASI where their coworkers quickly became their PASI family.
It was his honor to leave PASI 5 1/2 years ago to come back to Cookeville to help his Father with the family business, Security Fence, Inc. He learned the value of hard work there as a teenager and this is where he worked his way up to being the Vice President of Sales and Production. Bryan loved his job, his coworkers, manufacturers and his customers. He was so proud to be there working alongside his father everyday and was an inspiration to the men who worked alongside him.
Bryan, along with his wife, family and friends, loved to travel the world. From cruises to casinos, you could always find a group of them celebrating life and each other. He considered friends family and couldn't wait for the next adventure.

I´ve only met Bryan once...a few weeks ago. He came to the Cookeville square on his motorcycle to visit his sister, Kim, as we were "campaigning". Bryan was so upbeat and happy as he was on his way to work on some customer´s gate. I will never forget his smile! I pray that his family and close friends are consoled by their faith. Bryan has finished his mission on this earth and his Creator has called him home. He´s holding a place for his loved ones to join him in our own time to come. May you be blessed until then.
