Surrounded  by his loving family, Stewart R Bryant, 83, of Reedy, WV, passed away at home following an extended illness.  Born in Marting, Fayette County, WV, he was the son of the late Edloe and Ruth Bryant. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son Walter Asbury and two brothers Charles Bryant and Edloe Bryant.

He attended Montgomery High School, leaving to join the Air Force. He worked as a diesel mechanic repairing and maintaining heavy equipment in the coal mines and driving over the road tractor trailers.  When he wasn't elbow deep in grease and oil of a machine, he spent his free time hunting and fishing.
