Bryant built a career as a Certified Dental Technician where he proudly worked behind the scenes giving people beautiful and healthy smiles.

Bryant was a generous, caring man with a great sense of humor. He was an excellent athlete in any sport he played. You couldn't escape a night out without hearing about a football or baseball memory from his school years, they were years well played! He was an avid golfer throughout his life and his happiest of days were often out playing with friends and family. However, family and faith were paramount and through them his life was fulfilled with great gratitude. We will forever remember Bryant's strength and courage.
