Stephen Bryant Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Steve Bryant, a loving husband, proud Papaw, and cherished friend, on August 18th at the age of 73.

Born on November 2nd, 1951 in Fort Oglethorpe, GA. He lived a life full of love, laughter, and hard work. He was a man who led with kindness, humility, and strength, always putting his family above all else. He was a black belt in karate. A head technician of Synthetic/Shaw for 20+ years. A handyman who could fix your car, paint your home, and build a deck all in the same day. He was a man of many talents. To his beloved wife, Deborah Bryant, he was not only a partner but a best friend and constant source of support. And to his grandchildren, he was "Papaw"-a role he treasured most of all, filling their lives with stories, wisdom, and unconditional love.

Steve will be remembered for his warm heart, sense of humor, and the countless memories he created with those fortunate enough to know him. Whether it was sharing a quiet moment at home, working with his hands, or making those around him laugh, he left an impression that will never fade.

He is survived by his loving wife, Deborah Bryant of 30+ years; his step-children, Chris (Hillary) Gentry, Mistie (Stephen) Goins, and Jamie Glover; his grandchildren, Kara (Wren) Parm and Rylie Gentry, and many other family members and dear friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Gordon and Sarah June Bryant, brothers; James (Bud), and Richard Bryant, Sisters; June, Becky (Toppi), Becky, Linda, and grandson Ryan Turner.
