Tommy Lee Bryan was born on January 25th, 1973 in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Gerald Bryan and Janet Parks, joined by one sister, Michelle. He attended school in Tahlequah. Tommy completed welding school and received his certificate from Kiamichi Vo-Tech as a Certified Welder. When Tommy wasn’t working, he could be found at home, enjoying the company of his family. Growing up, you could usually find Tommy with his Dad, truckin’. He traveled many miles across this nation riding Shotgun with his Dad. That was some of his favorite times. There was nothing more exciting for Tommy than time spent outdoors. It didn’t matter if he was near the water, or deep in the woods, there was always something special to see in nature. He was an absolute fanatic about his Harley Davidson, or any motorcycle for that matter. He loved drawing. He could sit for hours with a pen, paper, and his thoughts. He always had a love for music, from rock and roll to blues or country. His daughter Hallie was the apple of her daddy’s eye. Tommy was her number one fan and always pushed her to do her best. Tommy married the love of his life, Ruby Stephens on April 23rd, 2015 in Tahlequah, OK. They had just begun their married life together. Tommy passed from this life all too soon on December 22, 2015 in Tulsa, OK with his family by his side.

Tommy is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Travis and Mamie Bryan, his maternal grandparents, Willie Grogan and Geneva Grogan, two uncles, Bobby “Chrome” Bryan, Jimmy Bryan, Bill Grogan, and his father, Gerald Bryan.

Those left to cherish Tommy’s memory include his wife, Ruby and daughter Hallie, of the home, his mother, Janet Parks and Stepdad Ron Parks of Durant,OK, one sister, Michelle Graham of Park Hill, OK, as well as many friends and a host of loved ones.
