On August 21st, Bryan left this world peacefully in his family home, surrounded by those that love him. Bryan graduated from Nicolet High School in , where he played the sousaphone in the band. Bryan paved his own way in life, dabbling in a little bit of everything.
Bryan went on after high school to graduate with an accounting degree, but soon realized that accounting was not for him. He went on to work a number of years as a manager for the JC Penny Company, and then moved to the family farm in Vincennes, and pursued his degree in horticulture.
In his final days, Bryan enjoyed creating wreaths made with his hand gathered pinecones. Bryan never met a stranger. With his larger-than-life characterand big stories, he was able to draw people towards him and could keep a person talking for hours on end.
Bryan enjoyed sitting on the porch swing watching thunderstorms with a Diet Pepsi or Root Beer float in hand and discussing the deeper things in life. Anytime a person was lost on the road, a phone call to Bryan could get them navigating the right direction once again. If a questionable cloud was in the sky, a call to Bryan would put the mind to ease as he was a very good self-taught meteorologist.
Bryan enjoyed listening to outlaw country music, and baseball games, rooting especially for the Cardinals. As a younger man, Bryan was at a bar plucking his guitar strings when someone approached him wanting to try his guitar out.
