Willie also nicknamed ”Three” was born November 8, 1994, in Beverly Hills, CA. He graduated from Buena High School in 2012. While there he joined the Marching band and the Drum line and went on to compete in several competitions. He attended Ventura College for a short period of time to study Business Management.

He enjoyed repairing cell phones, as well as playing video games with his closest friends. Willie was employed as a cook at Vintiki’s and was one of the most favored cooks. He loved sports especially football, he was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers biggest fan. Whenever you saw him he was always smiling and trying to make everyone laugh, everyone loved him, and he never had anything bad to say about anyone.

He is preceded in death by his parental grandparents, Willie Bryant Sr. and Freddie Mae Bryant; and his maternal grandfather, Alton Don Newman.

As parents we are very proud of him. He was starting to become more responsible and self-sufficient, which takes the worry and stress off our minds.

A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2019, 1:00 pm, at the Ted Mayr Funeral Home, 3150 Loma Vista Road, Ventura. Condolences may be sent to TedMayrFuneralHome.com.
