Bryan was a graduate of Union County High School, the class of 1984. He then went to work in numerous industries, but his latest trade was his favorite; as he was a caregiver to his parents. Giving back to those who gave so much love to him brought great joy and happiness to his life. Bryan was a free spirit, he was a bright light in a dark world, and always had a smile on his face.

Bryan was a busybody, and he always had to keep his hands busy. Bryan's family described his personality as happy-go-lucky, he was the type of man that wouldn't let everyday life drag him down. Bryan was very social; he loved talking to people whether it was face to face or over the phone. Bryan enjoyed relaxing while working a crossword puzzle, he was creative, and didn't care if people cared for his masterpiece or not, he was extremely proud of his work. He enjoyed being with people, especially his family. He loved nothing more than to spend time with his son, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He will be sorely missed by those who loved and adored him.
