Bryan died peacefully surrounded by family May 29, 2022 in Collierville, TN. He was born July 28, 1968 in Selmer, TN to Floyd Earl Hawkins Jr. and Barbara Foust Herring. He lived his early life in Corinth and graduated from Kossuth High School in 1987. He joined the United States Marine Corps and served 4 years, living in Japan during that time. Bryan held many jobs, with his last being for the Town of Walnut. He enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He loved to grill/cook for his family, fish, spending time on the river and country music. He traveled through life at a slow pace, never in a hurry, never met a stranger, and would take home any stray and normally did. Bryan loved God, his family, life and his country. He was a proud Marine and was honored to be a member of The United States Veterans and Family Honor Guard. Honoring his fellow soldiers and their families brought him great joy and peace.

Bryan leaves his wife, Dawn Williams Hawkins; children, Dectony Thompson (Timothy), Necole Ramey (Jake), Katlyn Hawkins (Alexis), Lindsey Hawkins (Eric Merchant), Bryan Earl Hawkins, Jr., Sarah Hawkins and Michael Dwayne Foust; grandchildren, Kamron, Jaylon, Christian, Timothy, Skylar, Keylee, Nevaeh, Grayson, Bryce, Conner, Cheyenne and one coming soon; mother, Barbara Foust Herring; sisters, Lisa Lambert (Brad) and Amber Ellett (Michael); mother & father in law, Joe David and Januita "Nita" Williams; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, family and friends.
