Bryan Lee Berry

Bryan Lee Berry, 66, of Byhalia, Mississippi, passed away on August 22, 2024, in Shawnee, Oklahoma. He was born in Huntington Park, California, on June 17, 1958, to Leroy Berry and Sue (Middleton) Berry.

Bryan was the eldest child with two younger brothers and one sister. He moved to Oklahoma where he graduated from Noble High School in 1976. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Mississippi with the family and joined the United States Army where he was a helicopter mechanic. After his military service, he worked as a deckhand on the barge line on the Mississippi River for many years. Later, he became an OTR truck driver.

After retiring, Bryan enjoyed riding his motorcycle, having weekend coffee and breakfast with his friends in town, working on and building race cars, and taking road trips to Oklahoma to see family and friends. He was an avid Nascar fan and watched the races faithfully every weekend.

Bryan is survived by his parents; his three children, Christi, Ricky and Tiffany; 11 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; two younger brothers and their spouses; his younger sister; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and a host of friends.

In lieu of flowers, his children ask that you donate to BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse), veterans’ charities, or a charity of your choice.
