Michael Roy Bryan

Michael Roy Bryan, age 79, of Fort Worth, Texas, passed away Friday June 17, 2022. Michael
was born in Hillsboro, Texas on November 2, 1942. Mike graduated from Cleburne High School,
and received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. Michael was
married to Andria Bryan on May 22, 1981, in Dallas, Texas. He had a career in Software
Communications with Vought (which later became Northrop Grumman).
His great joys included spending time with his family and friends, fishing on the Brazos River,
downhill skiing in Colorado, and playing golf whenever he could. After retiring early, he started
hunting and selling golf balls across the north Texas area, becoming known to many as “the Golf
Ball man.” He maintained a putting green for decades that was the location of a 4 th of July
putting contest tradition for his extended family. His gentle love, happy-go-lucky attitude, and
maybe even his corny jokes will be missed by those who knew him.
Michael is preceded in death by his parents, Morris and Bettie Lou Bryan. He is survived by his
wife, Andria Bryan; sons, Brady Bryan (Carol), and Zacary Smucker-Bryan (Annali);
grandchildren, Sierra, Abigail, Leona, and Arlo; sister, Martha Cole (Bill); brother, Richard Bryan
(Mary); and many nieces and nephews.
