West Monroe A service of celebration for William David Bryan, age 27, of West Monroe, LA, will be held at 2:00 PM Thursday, March 21, 2019, in the chapel of Kilpatrick Funeral Home in West Monroe, LA with Dr. Mark Fenn officiating. Visitation will begin at 12:00 PM and continue until the service.Will was born May 8, 1991, in Monroe, LA and was released from this earth on March 15, 2019. He is survived by his parents, David Garland Bryan and Beverly Ann Bryan. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Reginald N. Bryan, grandmother, Gloria Dean Evans and cousin, Ryan Oliveaux.Will is also survived by his paternal grandmother Jean Bryan; brothers, David Bryan Jr., spouse Alane, and Howard Joseph Bryan, spouse Hailey; sisters, Betsy Blazier, spouse Adam, and Avery Anna Bryan; nieces, Alyssa Blazier and Piper Bryan; nephews, Evan Blazier and Hutchinson Bryan. He had numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He had very close and caring friends, Kirby Shepard, Mikey and Brittney Garoby, and was Celty Garoby godparent.Currently, Will had been pursuing a Radiologic Technology degree from ULM. He was very excited about becoming a Rad Tech and had plans after graduating from the program to pursue advanced certification in Radiology. Will previously had attended West Monroe High School and excelled in playing the trumpet. He was an active member in the West Monroe Marching Band, the West Monroe High School Jazz Band, and the Boogie Band. He also performed as a member of the Monroe Youth Symphony Orchestra. He delighted in strolling the sidelines and entertaining West Monroe football fans playing lead trumpet in The Boogie Band.His major hobby was collecting eclectic music on vinyl, with Modest Mouse being one of his all-time favorite performers. He loved playing Fallout on his xbox. Will also enjoyed snowboarding, fly-fishing for bedded-up bream in early summer on Lake DArbonne, inner-tubing, jet skiing and attending music festivals, especially VooDoo Fest in New Orleans.A kind, sensitive, soft-hearted spirit, Will placed more value on friendships and people than he did worldly possessions. People who knew Will well would always remark, He such a funny guy! Over the past ten years Will battled chronic depression but it seemed that he had just recently won this battle and was looking forward to his career in Radiology. Everyone will miss the silliness and joy Will spread wherever he was.The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorials for Will be made to the West Monroe High School Band Program, 201 Riggs Street West Monroe, LA, 71291, or make donations payable to ULM Foundation Radiologic Technology Program, ULM Foundation, 700 University Avenue, Monroe, LA, 71209.Online condolence messages may be sent to the family at www.kilpatrickfuneralhomes.com.Kilpatrick Funeral HomesWest Monroe, LA

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one. It’s very comforting to know what the Bible says about ones we’ve lost in death. Verses like Acts 24:15 are an excellent example of this: “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Knowing God’s promise that we’ll be reunited with our loved ones who have died is a promise that I hold dear to me. (John 5:28, 29) I know God’s Word can bring you hope & comfort too.

Will was such a sweetheart. He was friends with my daughters but I considered him my friend as well. We bonded over movies and music. He was just so easy and open. You could see his joy and sometimes his pain, and he was always real. What a great guy and an incredible loss for his family, friends and the world in general. We need more gentle souls like Will's.

What a sweetheart of a guy with such an edgy sense of humor-also the best taste in music which we shared frequently . Was hoping for a chance to go to a concert together but not in this lifetime-maybe later. To steal a title from Pink Floyd-Will is traveling to that “Great Gig in the Sky”-I will miss seeing you my young friend and will join you later....
