Christopher Michael Enoch Bryant

Christopher Michael Enoch Bryant, 49, passed away on April 12, 2025. He was born on July 22, 1975, in Covington, KY, and lived a life rooted in Falmouth, KY, (formerly of Grants Lick) overflowing with faith, laughter, generosity, and unwavering devotion to those he loved. He was the cherished son of Jim and Connie Bryant and is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, James and Carrie Bryant; his aunts and uncles, Reeda and Cliff Hart, Jim and Kay Fry, Alice and Ronnie Bryant, Diane and Jim Larkin; his cousins, Josh Fry and Jamie Fry, Chisty Cafeo, Ronnie Bryant Jr., Michael Bryant, and Jeff Bryant, Michelle Larkin, Jennifer Larkin; his second cousin, Austin Smith; and his grandfather, Enoch Stamper.
Chris was preceded in death by his brothers, Duane Bryant and Kenneth Allen Bryant; his grandparents, Ernest and Elsie Bryant; and his grandmother, Roxie "Nanny" Stamper.
On July 21, 2016, he married the love of his life, Jessica Harvey-Bryant, whom he shared his life, heart and soul with. Together, they built a beautiful, blended family grounded in love, humor, and unwavering support. Chris was a devoted and loving father to Rebecca and Zachary Beach, Samuel Bryant, Leroy Bryant, and Josiah Hurdle. His love for his children was evident in every aspect of his life-his encouragement, his legendary sense of humor, his storytelling, and unwavering support will never be forgotten.
Chris was raised with a servant's heart with a strong foundation of faith, compassion, and service. He was always the first to lend a helping hand, his friends and family knew that they could count on him in times of need. At family gatherings, he was the life of the party-bringing laughter, energy, and a warmth that filled the room.
Chris had a lifelong passion for trains and found purpose in his work with the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad. What began as a fascination became a career he took great pride in-preserving railway history and connecting communities through his efforts.
His faith was central to his life. Chris was a member of Trinity Southern Baptist Church and also served as a children's youth pastor at Alexandria Church of God, Tabernacle of God and Short Creek Baptist. He had a heart for ministry and a special gift for connecting with young people, helping them grow in their faith with kindness and joy.
Known for his love of all things Christmas, lighting up every season with his warmth and festive spirit. Chris delighted in the lights, music, family traditions, and the magic of the season. Chris could smoke a butt like no other, and his ribs were the definition of finger licking good. He became the king of the smoker. His dad jokes were legendary, his devotion to family unmatched, and his constant feline companion, Smokey the cat, never far from his side.
Chris's life was a beautiful reflection of his faith in Jesus Christ, the joy he found in everyday moments, and the love he so freely gave. His warmth, laughter, and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away"
