Bryan had an energetic, smart, adventurous, and fun loving personality. In particular, he loved all kinds of sports and was also a well-known and fierce competitor in the online gaming community. All who knew Bryan knew of his love for others and his welcoming spirit. His many hugs and servant heart shone a bright light into the darkness of other people’s lives. In addition to cherishing his family and friends, he had a soft spot for kids. When Bryan was in middle school, he helped to teach the kindergarten class at church. Because of his playful and energetic spirit, it could be difficult to tell him apart from the kids! He also loved listening to talk radio with his mom on the way to school as well as practicing all kinds of sports in the back yard with his dad. And while there was plenty of sibling rivalry, there was even more sibling love. As they have grown up together, their love for each other has grown stronger. But most importantly Bryan, who had a determined spirit and excelled at the things that motivated him, had a deep love for the God who made him and loved him to the point of death. Because of Bryan’s faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, his friends and family share the blessed hope of all of God’s people in knowing they will see him again someday in Heaven. In lieu of flowers, the family requested donations be sent to Woodcreek Church's Children & Youth Building Fund. vimeo.com/249426524
