Robert "Bob" Packard Bryant went home to be with Jesus on December 18, 2025. He passed peacefully, leaving behind a life defined by steadfast faith, deep love for his family, humility, and a quiet strength that never sought attention. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, brother, and loyal friend who will be deeply missed.

Bob and his beloved wife, Betty, shared 67 years of marriage. Together they built a life rooted in their faith and deep love for each other. Bob was always willing to talk about his faith, but more importantly, he lived it. With humility and integrity, he consistently put others first and showed his love in simple, faithful ways through being present and offering wise counsel.

One of Bob's favorite passages is Philippians 2:3–5, which reflects how he lived. He was humble, selfless, and had a heart for Christ. He walked closely with Jesus and trusted Him completely. Through his actions and words, Bob quietly pointed others to Christ. His calm confidence and steady nature provided encouragement to those who sought his guidance.

He is survived by his loving wife, Betty Bryant, his sister Ruth Aaron, his sons and daughters-in-law Robert Packard Bryant Jr. (Cindy), Jon Packard Bryant (Pat), and Timothy Packard Bryant (Brandi), eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

A family graveside service will be held on December 23, 2025 and a Celebration of Life will follow on January 13, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at North Point Community Church. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to North Point Community Church's Deeper-Wider General Fund at https://deeperwider.com/give .

Bob will be remembered as a man who loved Jesus deeply, loved his family well, and lived out his faith boldly and faithfully, always pointing to Christ.
