Bryan was a farmer, raising crops, hay, and cattle. He was a steward of the land and a farmer at heart. He was meticulous in his management of the cattle and hay; always making sure the cattle were cared for and the bales were perfect. He loved being in the country on the farm or making trips around Davis County to socialize with others. He had a big heart and never knew a stranger. Bryan especially loved helping Morgan with her show calves and 4-H projects. Bryan played many rounds of golf over the years. He also enjoyed dancing and playing softball when he was younger. His laughter and stories will be missed by all who knew him.
