Mr. William Bryan Delbridge

On Friday, December 6, 2019, William Bryan Delbridge, passed away at age 50. He was born on March 27, 1969 in Fort Worth, Texas to William F. (Bill) and Scarlette E. Delbridge. Bryan was a 30-year employee of UPS Northside where he made many friends through the years with both co-workers and customers. He will always be remembered as a loving father, son, brother, and friend to all that knew him.

Bryan enjoyed life in many ways. He was a dedicated reader of many subjects. He was an avid sportsman who formed many of his closest friendships during his participation in the Mid-Cities and HEB ISD athletics. His exceptional athletic ability and academic record helped to gain him a scholarship at the Air Force Academy. Bryan held a humble heart throughout all his accomplishments and rewards. That grace brought much pride to his family. Bryan was known for his kind and compassionate spirit, his steadfast loyalty, and his ability to brighten any room he entered.

Bryan had a close and special relationship with his grandfather Dennis R McMonigle. His grandfather rarely missed one of Bryan’s games and Bryan was always proud to perform his best when “papa” was in the stands. Bryan truly enjoyed spending time at his grandfather’s and grandmother’s five acre home in East Fort Worth which hosted a lifetime of Christmases and birthday parties. These family moments were some of Bryan’s most cherished memories. Bryan loved his family, and they loved him back.

Bryan was a lifelong fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide, and it was a rare occasion if he ever missed watching one of their games. Camping and fishing trips with friends were also a source of comfort and relaxation for him, as he loved the outdoors and the wonder of nature in all its forms.

Bryan touched many lives in numerous ways. His greatest joys and proudest accomplishments were his two boys, Mason and Spencer. Every “good-bye” to them, whether in person or through the phone, always ended with a heartfelt “I love you.” They both meant the world to Bryan.

He approached life with a humble, kind, and patient spirit. He will be greatly missed by all those that shared his journey.
