Bryan loved to fish and hunt with his brother Brandon. Even though he wasn’t feeling well, he went on a fishing trip to Mississippi with Brandon and his cousin Misty. They didn’t catch much but Bryan came home with a bad sunburn and wonderful memories. One of which Brandon looked like he was skiing while holding onto the back of Bryan’s motorized chair and being pulled to keep Bryan from turning over. These are precious memories for the family to talk and laugh about.
