Bryan was employed with the Century Correctional Institute for the past eight years. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and outdoorsman. He loved his “Florida Gators” equally as much, which was one of many traditions that he shared with his dad and brother, James. Bryan’s Facebook account is testament to his many friends. The family is appreciative of the comments and kind gestures posted by so many that loved Bryan as we did. We will all miss his fun-loving ways, and his funny-story telling. Bryan had a huge impact on family and friends, but none so much as his Paw Paw Hart, whom he lived with this past year and his very special nephew, Samuel. He loved Samuel with his entire being as he did his niece (due this month) little baby Courtney. In Bryan’s words to us all, “I’m gone. Y’all be good. I love ya!”
