Mark Stuart Bryan

It is with great sadness that the family of Mark Stuart Bryan announces his peaceful passing on July 4, 2024, at the age of 72. He was born on January 2, 1952, in Detroit, Michigan, to his devoted parents, Howard and Jean Rhode Bryan.

Education played a significant role in Mark's life journey. Starting at Center Line High School in Michigan and continuing on to The Christian College Palm Beach Atlantic and then on to Florida State University, he pursued a degree in Social Work that equipped him with the tools to make a difference in the lives of many.

Throughout his life, Mark embarked on various paths that not only shaped his character but also touched the lives of many. With a heart full of kindness and a soul guided by Godly wisdom, he dedicated himself to serving others. Mark's career was a testament to his giving nature: from teaching children how to build log cabins to counseling at Anawakee Camp for Troubled Youth in Atlanta, he shared his love and knowledge with those in need. He worked for Manufactured Survey Associates for 10 years in Atlanta before his role as Manager at Living Waters Ranch Christian Retreat Center In Challis Idaho. This allowed him to create a sanctuary for spiritual growth in the middle of God’s country. He spent the last 15 years helping maintain Family Health Services which reflected his commitment to both practicality and healing.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Mark found solace and joy in his hobbies and interests. He had a deep love for leading worship and playing the guitar, using music as a conduit for spiritual connection. His passion for nature led him to enjoy camping, kayaking, and being outdoors whenever possible. Mark's thirst for spiritual knowledge was evident through his devotion to reading inspirational texts and learning more about God each day.

Mark Stuart Bryan was not only a devoted father and husband but also an exceptional worship leader for over 30 years. His loving presence resonated with everyone he encountered, offering guidance, support, and warmth through every interaction, including the Joke of the Day. His family meant the world to him: he is survived by his loving wife Julie Bryan, brother Glen Bryan; son Jeffrey Bryan; daughters Alicia Laughlin, Michele Bryan, Rebekah Crane; grandchildren Alexis ,Daycia, and Kaisey Laughlin. Kya, Sage, and Oaklee Crane. Marcellius and Maximus Vega.
