Bobby Otis Bryan

Bobby Otis Bryan, 87 of Ballinger, left his earthly body on Tuesday April
23, 2019 at Ballinger Healthcare & Rehabilitation.

Born April 10, 1932, Bobby was an amazing Dad, sibling, uncle & friend to
anyone that knew him. He never met a stranger, always had a smile on his
face & would stop to talk or try to help anyone in need. He led a caring &
humble life & never lost his sense of humor. He was a provider & someone to
look up to.

He achieved the honor of Eagle Scout in Boy Scouts when he was twelve
years of age. His life was exemplary of all Scout Laws, (trustworthy,
loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean & reverent to God, his family & others). He was so very
generous with his time & always kept the best attitude, even at the most
difficult of times.

He is survived by his four sons, Robby & wife Susie of Ballinger, Kenny of
Ore City, TX, Scotty of Ballinger, Brad & wife Keri of Sherman, TX.
Grandsons Brandon Roach of Ashely, OH, Colton Bryan of Norman, OK, &
Garrett Bryan of Richardson. Granddaughters Robbye Kelly & husband Todd of
Round Rock & Haley Bryan of Wilmington, NC, plus Abby & Jayden Roach,
great-grandchildren of Marion, OH.

Bobby is also survived by two brothers, Clarence Bryan & wife Ann of San
Antonio & Pete & Ginger Bryan of Ballinger. Step-grandsons include Justin
Buttrill of Poetry, TX, Clint Buttrill of Denison, TX & Jesse Mushrall of
Ballinger. Also numerous nieces, nephews & countless friends. Very special
friends, Raymond Mota, Glade Reed, Roy Bowman. Benny Howell, Jerry Holden,
Jerry Willingham, Lawrence Harvey, Alex Papoutsas, the entire Muncy Family,
Patsy Parker & Glenda Wood.

Bobby served his country in the Naval Reserves & his home town community
selling cars, insurance & as the Runnels County Treasurer. He was voted
Citizen of the Year & won First Place in Ballinger's Chamber of Commerce &
the Ballinger Ledger's "Most Friendly, Most Courteous Clerk" Contest when
he worked for Holbrooks Office Supply. Bobby was a member of the local
Jaycees & Rotary Club, Secretary of the Youth Department for the First
Baptist Church, Secretary of the Quarterback Club & an avid Ballinger
Bearcat supporter.

A celebration of Bobby's life will be held at 11:00 AM in Ballinger at the
First Christian Church at 401 N. Broadway Street on May 18, 2019. There
will be no burial service because Bobby donated his body to the Anatomy
Department of Texas Tech University Health Science Center, whereas, even in
death, he is giving back for the goodness of humanity.

A special heartfelt thanks from the family goes out to Ballinger Home
Health & Hospice for allowing Dad to live at home as long as possible, to
Ballinger Healthcare & Rehabilitation & Shannon Hospital In San Angelo who
did their best to ease his pain. A special thank you to the Doctors,
nurses, aids & Meals on Wheels volunteers. Family & friends are not to be
excluded in this thank you for everyone that pitched in & helped us take
care of him.

In lieu of flowers, the family request memorials be made to the American
Heart Association, Meals on Wheels or a favorite charity or church.
