Randy David Bryan, 68, of Bladenboro passed away on Tuesday, December 23, 2025. He was born in Bladen County on March 5, 1957, the son of the late Wade Bryan and Jody Dowless Bryan. He was preceded in death by four siblings, Geraldine Bungert, Shirley Bordeaux, Gladystine Bryan, and Herman Bryan.
Left to cherish his memory are sons, Trevor Bryan (Danielle) of the home, and Justin Bryan (Kaylin) of Bladenboro, brother Ronnie Bryan of Bladenboro, three sisters Kathy Ludlum of Bladenboro, Myrtle Faye Lynch of Rocky Mount, and Robin Smithies of Black Mountain, five grandchildren Thalia Bryan, Chloe Cox, Zoey Bryan, Claire Bryan, and Blaire Bryan and a host of nieces and nephews.
Randy was a big man with an even bigger heart. He was a man of simple pleasures with a side of creativity which he often shared in his drawings, poetry, and inventions. His greatest joy came from spending time with his boys, his grandchildren and other family members. His compassionate nature and endearing smile will be missed dearly by all.
A Celebration of Life Service will be planned at a later date.
