Our favorite place to be during summer vacations from school was in Mississippi. We spent alot of time at our mawmaw and pawpaw Haygoods home. We were free and had so much to do there.

My grandparents owned acres of property that had a pond and woods and all kinds of interesting wild animals...oh and lots of cousins to have our adventures with.

I remember a time that Bryan, Vernon and Dale went and got pawpaws good metal tub (after being told not to touch it) and drug it down to the pond. Boys will be boys...right. They put it in the pond and played out in the water for awhile...it started filling up with water and watching them trying to get that tub out before it sunk was the funniest. 

We had so much fun spending hours running around in those pastures. My little brother was all boy and if there was something to get into he made sure he was there. My childhood would not have been the same without him...

Love You So Much!!!!

It has been so long since the days of Glen Oaks, but I remember Bryan was always there to lend his shoulder and give a hug.  He had the kindess heart and I remember his beautiful smile and laugh.  I was always happy around him.  Our group of friends always knew if we needed help he would be there.   I am blessed to have known him and have my wonderful memories of him and our group of friends growing up.

So here is my story...let's get real...he also had a really hard head..haha....I remember when a few of us went down to the Mississippi River and walked down this old wharf and Bryan fell a really long way down....he was coughing blood, but would not go to the hospital.  We all were so worried about him, but he just kept insisting he was ok...and just wanted to go home....and that is exactly what he did.  He never wanted anyone to worry about him.

The last time I saw Bryan we were about 22 yrs. old.  I wish I could have talked to him again so he could have told me all about his wife and kids.   I always thought he would be a great father one day.  


I pray his family has peace during this time. 

Until we meet again Bryan....Love ya, Lenda  

I have lots of great memories growing up down the street from Bryan and Sheila.  One of my most memorable stories to show what an awesome guy Bryan was.  I had wrecked my car one morning and went to Comite river that afternoon to be with friends.  My leg/knee was hurt in the wreck and was on crutches.  Bryan came running over (in sand) and helped me to where all our friends were.  He actually carried me. 

I also remember when he was working as a electrical lineman one of his co-workers got electrocuted.  Bryan threw him in the car/truck and rushed him to the hospital.  He knew they couldn't wait on an ambulance as time was important.  He was right and saved the friend/co-workers life.

Even though we had lost touch through the years he was a guy one could never forget.  Always loving and helping.

My heart goes out to his mother, sister, wife, kids and family.  Praying to God for strength for his family.   We love you Bryan.

Love,

Cissy
