Bryan Paynter Obituary

Bruce, Bonita, and family:
ALthough we have not talked in a long time, you have all been in my prayers. I was saddened at hearing of the loss of Bryan. I know that the love of a parent is the strongest love there is and this loss must be overwhelming. I wish that I could have been there for you and the family and hope that you will call if there is anything that you need or that I can do to help. My deepest sympathies.

We are all praying for your beautiful family to find peace in these tough times. You have friends here who are always available if only just to talk.
Godspeed to better times....
The Karsner Family

dear mr and mrs paynter, brett, jenny, and family and friends,

it's been a few more days for me to process now and though i am still down in spirits, i know that bryan lives on quite vividly in our memories.

my friend forwarded me an email, about a 6 year old explaining why dogs don't live as long as humans. "people are born so they can learn how to live a good life - like how to love people and stuff right? dogs already know how to do that so they don't have to stay as long." bryan loved you guys well i'm sure. he will be missed sorely. he lived a good life though, definitely lived it to the max and did more than some of us will ever get to!

indeed, every breath we are able to take is a gift from God above. "Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should." Psalms 90:12

much love,
Jessica Deng (GBS/NU classmate)

My deepest condolences to your family.
Best Always,

Bonita and family,
I was very sorry to hear of the loss of Bryan. What an exceptional young man he was. My condolences to all of you during this sad time.

Dear Paynter family, I am so sad for your loss. I will always remember Bryan from Mt. Prospect Nursery school, he was a very active, fun loving 15 month old! May the fond memories he has left, live in your hearts forever. The angels have gained a very special someone on their team today. God Bless, Miss Laurie

To the family and wife of Bryan;
While there is nothing I can say to make any of you feel any better during this time of grief there seem to be so much that needs to be said. Let me thank you all for the opportunity and privilege of attending Bryan & Jenny's wedding and for allowing me to assist in his Eagle Scout ceremony. It was an honor knowing Bryan and working with him on his Eagle Project. Young men like Bryan are the reason so many volunteers do what they do; for an opportunity to work with the worlds next leaders. Your loss will be felt in areas we can't even imagine, by people who never met Bryan. He was a motivating person who has passed on strengths and characteristics to each of you that will help you through these trying times. I will think of Bryan often; both above water and below as he now truly "soars with the Eagles".

My Deepest Sympathy,

Dear Bruce and Bonita,

Words can't express how sad I am to hear about your loss of your wonderful son. I know Chris will miss seeing Bryan at the draft and it will be hard for him as well. Chris, Meredith and I will keep you and your family in our thoughts at this diffucult time.

Dear Marietta, My deepest sympathy upon the death of Bryan.Knowing the love you have for students, you have every right to cherish his memories. He will be remembered in our prayers.

My most heartfelt condolences for your loss.

My deepest condolences to The Paynters and to all whose lives Bryan touched. He will be missed.

We will miss Bryan so much and will never forget him. He was an inspiration to all of us.

Mrs. Paynter (Marietta), my mom Nita Hemke forwarded me your sad news. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

Our deepest sympathy.

Dearest Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad and painful time.

The Lord bless Bryan and keep him..

My deepest sympathies for loss of your dear husband, son and brother. May the prayers of your family and friends, including my own carry you through this immensely difficult time.

May God be with you at this sad time. You are all in my prayers and the prayers of my music sisters here at Drake. God Bless.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bryan his Freshman Year of High School. It was my first experience coaching Football and he was my starting Quarterback. The thing I remember most about Bryan was his won't quit attitude, and genuine care for others. I always looked forward to seeing Bryan at practice. I know he touched the lives of a lot of people here at GBS, especially myself. I even recall seeing him and his family in Black River Falls Wisconsin at a Perkin's (of all places). What a wonderful young man, and a wonderful family. My thoughts and Prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Bryan will forever be in our hearts, where he is never to be forgotten.

You don't know me but I felt compelled to write. I lost my son, Brad, 3 1/2 years ago to that beast "Ewings Sarcoma." I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Your son/husband must have been an amazing person. Hold onto those precious memories for strength as you work through your grief. May God hold all of you in the palm of his hand.

My heart goes out to your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Our love and deepest, deepest sympathies to all the family of Bryan. So very sorry we cannot
attend the services for Bryan but our hearts and prayers will be with
you all. Aldene & Bob
