Bryan was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Lee Roy and Ilah Willis; maternal grandparents, Henry and Velora Cowart; and one uncle, Warren Cowart.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center and the Department of Orthopedic at West Virginia University Hospitals. Ruth Davis, Dr. Brock Lindsey and the entire staff have been exceptional in their care and support. Thanks also to Amedysis Hospice and specifically RN, Mark Wotring, and aid, Theresa Kittle. They all have not only provided healing for the body but healing for our hearts as well.
Friends may call at Jewel City Church, Route 20, Haywood, from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday and from 10 a.m. until the time of the funeral service at 1 p.m. Saturday with Pastor Robert Shingleton officiating.
