He spent 30+ years running Mustang Lawn and Pool and was respected for his hard work, dedication, and expertise.

When not working, Bryan enjoyed spending time with his family. He loved watching football, cheering for the Green Bay Packers, and spending countless hours enjoying NASCAR races, which he loved and enjoyed. He also cherished going out to breakfast with family and friends to catch up.
