Dear Okey, Rhonda, Beverly, Mark, The Wells family, and Kimberly and sons, my heart really goes out to all of you. I was shocked to come upon this information and truly saddened at the loss of Bryan. I remember him as such a sweet and nice little boy. I remember getting together with all of you when I was a little girl and how highly my dad (Jim), and mom (Helen) thought of your family. I remember nice times we shared also. I'm so sorry for your loss. I will remember all of you in my heart and in prayer. Theresa (Terry Daniels) Rees

To the Kim (and all of the Curry and Wells Family). Although time and distance has separated us for many years, I wanted to express the deepest of my sorrow for the loss of Bryan. I played baseball on the same team and went to the same school with both Bryan and Kim. Never a day would pass without Bryan cracking a joke or making someone smile. He always had a joy about him which made everyone else around happy. My heart is sad on this day. We lost a very good one and God has made heaven just a bit more beautiful. I'm so sorry for the loss of a wonderful human being.

Bryan was a childhood neighbor of mine, I fondly recall playing basketball with him, or a swim in their family swimming pool, playing baseball in the empty lot at the end of our street, always a good time. God Bless him and his family.

It seemed like yesterday Bryan and I were playing basketball behind his garage for hours on end or swimming in his family's backyard pool. He and his family lived across the street from me in Hammond on 170th Place. May the lord be in your family's hearts during this difficult time. My Deepest Sympathies Tina Wise.

Bryan, working with a group of guys as close as we were is hard to find. There was never a dull moment on or off the job. Here's a few of my favorites. I'll definitely miss our going fishing talks , or when Pat tried to convince us that we burnt down a house ,or when he decided we were two clowns and gave us nick names bobo and banjo. Pat's still laughing because Kim had to explain it to us. Was it in our futures to doing something other than fix doors and windows? We were always running news recipe or cooking technique by each other,talking to each other about our wives and family , and not understanding how we got so lucky. You trying to talk sports with me but unfortunately I didn't care about it,unless we were talking about our kids and their latest times, or If I knew one of your favorite teams lost. Then I'd be sure to remember everything about it and bring it up when ever possible. That's when the fun would begin. Or one 1st times I worked with you and I bragged you up on how strong you were and you carried the new door panel by yourself to the back of the house and the old panel back to the truck before you realized you'd had been had. I'll always remember when Shane was trying to build us up by saying we'll never be the best, or the fastest, but we'll always work like dogs to get the job done. (I'm not sure on the ending), Shane maybe will remember.That was a motto we defently achieved. It's been one hell of a ride Bryan and your name will be sure to come up in at least a few of my stories. My thoughts and prayers are with you're family during this sorrowful time. Hopefully there'll be a lift and slide in heaven that will have all the right parts and pieces. The address will be right, pictures will have been attached, and the job will go as planed. When your all done , you'll get your favorite IPA and the view will be amazing!!

I always felt a privilege when working with Bryan. His level of patience and professionalism raised the bar for all of us and he made everything he did look easy. The last time he was in the KC market Reid joined him. It was such a pleasure seeing how Bryan enjoyed working with him. Our hearts and prayers go out to you Curry family.

I have had the great privilege of working with Bryan for the past five years at Marvin's. He was an amazing coworker and someone who truly cared about me and my family, and we often shared family pictures with each other. I am so sorry for your loss Kim, Reid and Evan- he will be greatly missed by many here in Warroad too. Bryan and I always ended our phone calls with Whoop Whoop and never goodbye. Until we meet again....

December 3, 2018

Bryan was an individual any son would be proud to have as a father, any wife blessed to have as a husband, and any friend fortunate to have as a friend.
He was a quick hire for me, the kind of guy you just knew intuitively he would make a great service tech, and be a wonderful ambassador for the company. Praying for the repose of his soul, and strength for his family.

Kim, Reid, and Evan. Bryan was more than just a coworker to me, he was a great and amazing friend.

Bryan was a role model employee. We would talk both about work issues and anything else from sports to family. He was very proud of his son's swimming accomplishments and spoke highly of his wife, Kim, as well. We both shared a sense of humor and it was also a pleasure talking with him on the phone. I always looked forward to meeting up with Bryan whenever he was in Warroad for company business. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all the Curry family. I pray for them for peace, comfort and healing during this time. God's blessings to you all.
