Ronald G. Bryant

Ronald G. Bryant, born October 3, 1939, in Richmond, Indiana, passed away on November 10, 2026.

Ron graduated from Arsenal Technical High School in 1958 and went on to proudly serve his country as a United States Marine. Following his military service, he dedicated many years of hard work to the Indianapolis Water Company, where he remained until his retirement in 1996. In his younger years, Ron was an enthusiastic sports fan and enjoyed playing basketball during his high school days.

Thirty-four years ago, Ron married the love of his life, Judy Bryant. Together, they shared a wonderful marriage filled with love, laughter, friendship, and devotion. They were not only husband and wife but best friends in every sense of the word. He affectionately called her his “Sweetie.” Ron and Judy were members of New Palestine Bible Church, where they shared their faith and fellowship.

Above all else, Ron treasured his family. He took a genuine interest in the lives of his grandchildren, always checking in, asking questions, and keeping up with what was happening in their worlds. He wanted to know how they were doing, what they were involved in, and what was new in their lives.

Ron had a special way of making life a little brighter. He was joyful, generous, and selfless, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He never had a negative thing to say about anyone and seemed to find the good in everyone. His kindness was genuine, his heart was big, and his presence brought comfort and happiness to those around him.

And, of course, no remembrance of Ron would be complete without mentioning a couple of his favorite things: McDonald’s frappes and Tic Tacs!

Ron will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving family man, proud Marine, hardworking provider, and friend to everyone.

He is survived by his wife, Judy; his children, Shelley (Zane), Brian (Kristen), Cindy (Devin); his grandchildren, Alex, Chelsea (Victor), Austin (Catherine), Samantha (Austin), Hannah; great-granddaughter, Isabella.

A visitation will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026, at Flanner Buchanan—Washington Park East, from 11AM-1PM. The funeral will begin at 1PM.
