There will be a visitation on Monday, August 22, 2022, from 9:00 am-11:00 am at Anderson Bethany and a funeral service to follow at 1 pm at Waymaker church. Interment will follow at South Park cemetery. Bryant was born on September 26, 1988, in Roswell, New Mexico, to Millicent Fletcher and Bluitt Thomas. He attended Roswell High School, where he graduated and was a star player on the basketball team. Bryant worked as a car insurance estimator, which he truly enjoyed. He loved sports in all arenas, both watching and playing, and his true passion was basketball. Bryant was a member of a men’s basketball league. That easily made him a sneakerhead, and he always wanted an extensive collection of shoes. He played video games with Kaylynn and his friends in his free time and spent many hours playing NBA2k and Pokémon. Bryant was a father to two beautiful daughters, and his favorite way to spend time with them was shooting hoops at the gym or watching movies with a big bowl of popcorn or a home-cooked meal they all made together. He loved to laugh in which he watched many movies throughout his life, especially comedy films that he quoted regularly. Although Bryant was a quiet man, he would enjoy the simple things in life and was always there to listen. He was one of a kind and touched so many lives. He will not only be deeply missed by his family and friends but also by all who were fortunate enough to have known him. Those left to eternally treasure and cherish Bryant’s memories and legacy are his significant other, Kaylynn Ortiz; children: Keyara Thomas and Jaylah Thomas; brothers: Dominic Thomas and Keyshawn Thomas; sisters: Keauna Thomas and Precious Thomas; aunts: Diane Boyce, Shirley Williams, Tamela Garcia; uncle, Darnell Boyce; along with many cousins and friends. Preceding Bryant in death are his mother, Millicent “Millie” Fletcher; grandparents: Irma and Johnny Fletcher; great-grandparents: RT and Jo Boyce; and his cousin, Laura Riddle.
