Richard Bryan Obituary
With deep sadness, we say goodbye to our beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Richard Allen Bryan.
Richard was born in Fairmont, Indiana, on December 7, 1942, to the late Edgar and Bernice (Dilley) Bryan. Richard was a graduate of Elwood High School. He was a hard worker, retiring from General Motors' Delco Electronics Plant with 30 years of service as a Journeyman plumber.
Richard was active with the Elks Lodge #368 in Elwood, Indiana, and the Howard Masonic Lodge #93 in Kokomo.
He is survived by his daughters, Cindy (Mike) Hogan and Kelly Burrough; his grandchildren, Criswell (Gina) Burrough, Michael Hogan, and Kelly (Charlie) Warner; and by his great-grandson, Teddy Warner.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, his three brothers, Jim, George, and Fred Bryan, and by his son-in-law, Marc Burrough.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, November 14, 2025, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Big Hoffa's Barn, 900 E. Main Street, Westfield, Indiana.
