Richard Bryce Obituary
May 27, 1952 - June 7, 2025
Richard Joseph Bryce, son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend to many, passed away on June 7, 2025, after a lengthy battle with multiple health issues. Larger than life, Dick Bryce was gregarious, hardworking, and devoted to his family, friends, and community.
Dick is survived by his saintly wife and steadfast caregiver, Rhonda, and their children: Melissa (Tulsa); Allison (Oklahoma City) and her husband, Scott Moore; and Joey (Fort Worth) and his wife, Paige Bryant Bryce. Nothing brought him more joy in life than his nine grandchildren: Ginny, Jack, Avery, Brooklyn, Bryce, Blakely, Peyton, Sterling, and Stetson.
He is also survived by his loving siblings, and in-laws, who stood by him throughout his illness: Eileen Bryce and Pat Connelly (Tulsa), Patti Bryce (Washington, DC), Wally and Betsy Bryce (Tulsa), Mary Bryce Fox and Larry Fox (Tulsa), and Robert and Lorin Bryce (Austin, TX), and his mother and father-in-law Ginger and Ron Anderson. He is preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Ann Bryce; his brothers, John and Bill; his cousins, Doug Edwards and Steve Bryce; and many other Bryce family members.
Friends can honor Dick's memory with contributions to two organizations that held a special place in his heart. The Bryce House at Grand Mental Health, formerly 12 & 12, serves veterans facing addiction (PO Box 33015, Tulsa, OK 74153). The Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders serves families facing a peroxisomal disorder, like Dick's late granddaughter, Ginny (PO Box 33238, Tulsa, OK 74153).
A Memorial Mass will be held on Thursday, June 12, at 2:00 p.m. at the Church of Saint Mary, with a reception following.

I have known Dick since first grade at Marquette and later at Monte Cassino/Cascia Hall. It saddens me to lose yet another classmate my prayers and thoughts for me and the entire family for Dick and his family.
