Bryan Testerman Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Bryan graduated from Webb High School and earned his bachelor's degree from Middle Tennessee State University.
After graduating college, he joined his father, Bryan E. Testerman, Sr., in the family business, Testerman Construction Company, where they enjoyed great success together in developing quality, residential homes, including Whittington Creek, St. Ives/Alcoa, Whispering Woods and Ansley Woods for over 30 years. After losing his father in 2015, Bryan, Jr. continued prioritizing and setting the gold standard for home-building throughout the Knoxville community.
Bryan was known for his generous spirit, bigger than life heart, tremendous work ethic, and his contagious laugh that those who knew him, will never forget. His most precious and proudest accomplishment, however, was being a dad to Mason, also a graduate of Webb School and now a freshman at Belmont University.
Bryan is preceded in death by his father; Uncles John W. Testerman, Sr. and Kyle C. Testerman and Cousin John W. Testerman, Jr.
He is survived by son Mason (Tassie Cody-Mason's mother); Bryan's mother Julie Raines; Step Mother Brenda Testerman; Porsha and Curtis Adams (sister/brother-in-law to Mason); their two twins Saylor and Layken (whom he loved as his own grandchildren); sister and brother-in-law, Tracey and Kenny Harrigan along with nieces Kathleen, Minnie and Hayes. He also leaves behind his precious Aunt Leslie Testerman, other aunts and many cousins who loved him deeply. He is loved and missed beyond words by his loyal, beloved and trusted friend and co-worker Lisa George and T.A. (Thomas).
The family will receive friends on Friday, October 11th from 4-8pm in the Chapel at Rose Funeral & Cremation – Mann, 6200 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Tunnel to Towers or the charity of your choice. Online condolences may be expressed at www.rosefuneraltn.com

I send my condolences to Bryans family. Ive known Bryan more of my life than I hadn't , not really any contact in a while as I moved to Arizona. Bryan would come into my mind often and just bring a smile to my face , he was so kind hearted and fun to be around . He was always there to cheer me up or to just sit and talk . I will never ever forget you Bryan Testerman thank you for the memories I will forever protect and cherish . You made such a difference and I am so proud of you for all of your accomplishments.
