Bryan embraced life with a sense of adventure. Born and raised in Plymouth, Indiana, Bryan graduated from Plymouth High School in 1978 and had a long career as a welder in Indiana. He loved music, especially classic rock, and would travel near and far to see his favorite bands play a live show, seek out a great meal, or catch a high school basketball game. He was proud to make Fort Myers, Florida his home in recent years.

Those who knew Bryan well remember him as an easygoing, kind, and selfless person. He was always willing to lend a hand when needed. Bryan lovingly adopted his daughters, Ericka and Ashley, and fully embraced his role as a father.

Bryan loved comedy and humor. His family will cherish memories of his funny personality, and all of the laughter he brought into their lives. As you reflect on memories of years past, please continue to smile and laugh, just as Bryan would have wanted.
