Bryan B. Haynes

He is survived by his daughter, Raegan Binter Haynes; his parents, Earl and Loretta Haynes; a brother, Christopher Kovachi Haynes; and a loyal companion, Sandra Whitaker. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He attended Lexington One schools and was a 1989 graduate of Lexington High School. Bryan was a three-sport athlete in high school. He especially loved basketball and held the record for three-point shots from point guard for a number of years. He attended Lander University to play basketball. He later transferred to the University of South Carolina where he graduated with a degree in Business in 1993. Throughout his lifetime, Bryan was a faithful fan of the South Carolina Gamecocks. He was employed for much of his life in his family’s convenience store business where he served as vice president.

Bryan will be remembered for being a good man; he was loved by many. Those who were close to him knew how he cared deeply for his family and friends and how proud he was of his daughter.

A private service will be held Wednesday, April 15, 2020 at Caughman-Harman Funeral Home, Lexington Chapel. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Snack Sack, a ministry of LUMC. This ministry serves snacks for children over weekends or as needed.

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NRSV)

"Miss Me–But Let Me Go" by Christina Rossetti

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little – but not too long

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once shared,

Miss me – but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take

And each must go alone.

It's all a part of the Master's plan,

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart

Go to the friends we know

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

Miss Me–But Let me Go!
