Samuel Stephen Bryan, infant, died Feb. 11, 2015
Samuel Stephen Bryan was born Sept. 22, 2014, and passed from his parents’ arms into the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus on Feb. 11, 2015. We rejoice in the hope of heaven and know we will spend eternity with our sweet boy.
Sam loved getting attention, singing, rocking and snuggling, and playing with his sisters. When he smiled, his eyes sparkled and smiled first. He had the most beautiful eyelashes. The Lord has used and will continue to use Sam’s life for His glory.
Sam is deeply loved by his parents, Stephen and Danielle Bryan, and sisters, Emory and Harper, all of Tyler; grandparents, Alan and Cheryl Shipp of Bertram; grandparents, Mike and Susan Stroud of Longview; great-grandparents, Gene and Annie Dell Taylor of Bertram; great-grandmother Yvonne Shipp of Burnet; great-grandparents Jim and Patty Stephens of Lufkin; uncle and aunt Trent and Kim Shipp of Lampasas; and uncle and aunt David and Sarah Pruitt and cousins Elizabeth and Madison, all of Longview.
Sam’s funeral is 2 p.m. Feb. 15 at First Baptist Church in Bertram, followed by interment at Mt. Zion Cemetery. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Sam and worship our Redeemer and Savior.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you consider donating to the Texas chapter of the Children’s Heart Foundation at texas.childrensheartfoundation.org. This foundation is solely committed to congenital heart defect research and provides hope to families like ours. The family would also like to sincerely thank the staff at Medical City Children’s Hospital Congenital Heart Surgery Unit for the exceptional care provided to Sam and his entire family.
