You’re home now, Dadbridge.
I’m still half mad at you you turd. It could have been years(and was years) since we’d seen each other but you were always my brother and I hope I always was yours. I won’t ever forget just sitting at sonic smoking and skating when I was skipping school to hang in mj with you, Morgan, Amber, Mikey, everyone on our little fun fam. I won’t ever forget the silly ass hangouts with just beers and anime. I won’t forget any of it. I love you brother.
You’re still an asshat. But an asshat with the kindest heart.
Rest well brother. You don’t have to fight anymore.

The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love.” “Therefore we should not cry about something that was taken from us, but, yes, love what we have been given. Because what is really ours is never gone forever.”
I met Ashley and Jace via a mutual friend a Facebook. And though we’ve never met in person, it’s so obvious the love these two have for each other. Ashley is an amazing person and her love for her husband and her strength shines through. I’m so sorry for this terrible loss, but you will carry his legacy for those of us who did not know him as well ????
With sincere condolences,
The Bryant family
