Bryan is the beloved husband of Kim Clift and dad of Diesel, who was more than a pet, he was his best friend.

Bryan's professional life as a contractor with Amrine Construction showcased his dedication and hard work. His colleagues respected him for his integrity and his ability to bring warmth and humor to any project. Beyond his career, Bryan was involved in his community as a youth minister at Crosspoint Community Church, where he guided young lives with compassion and wisdom.
An avid outdoorsman, Bryan found solace and joy in fishing, a hobby that allowed him to appreciate the beauty of nature and the simplicity of life. His talents extended to woodworking, where he crafted pieces that were not only functional but also imbued with the love and care he put into every project. An avid New Orleans Saints fan, Bryan never missed a game and shared his love for the team with anyone who would listen. He also enjoyed basketball for the excitement and camaraderie.
Above all, Bryan was a man of faith. He spent countless hours studying his Bible, drawing strength and guidance from its pages. His faith was his compass, and it shone brightly in his actions and his unwavering kindness towards others.
Bryan's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the profound impact he had on his family and community. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
