Such a gentle soul, he will be missed.
I was lucky to have had Bryce in my 5th grade home room at Northwood. I am now remembering his smile and and his laugh – he was such a happy 10-year old! Words cannot express my condolences.
Bryce was a part of our family since his teenage yrs. I loved him like a son. Paul and Ginger took very good care of him and they mutually loved each other deeply.
I met Bryce at World Harvest Bible College and we attended Oral Roberts University together. I can remember the very first day I met him. He had such a great personality and a love for people. His heart was as big as anyone I have ever met. Everywhere he went he drew people to him. I lost touch with Bryce after I left ORU and just recently found him again. I loved Bryce like a brother and have spent years talking about him to my wife and family. It was an honor to be his friend. I am a better person having known him. To say that he will be greatly missed is an understatement. I am sorry for his loss. I pray that family finds peace and healing during this painful time. I pray they comfort in knowing they will be reunited with him one day. I cannot wait to hug his neck again. I love you Bryce!
Bryce was my big brother at WHBC. We shared our insecurities, our hopes, and our dreams. The wisdom that he shared with me has sustained me throughout the years. His unique wit and insight was always just what I needed. Bryce’s influence will always be with me, and he will always be missed. I love you brother.

Bryce and I were coworkers. I am so grateful to have met him. He was truly an amazing man. My heart goes out to the family you are in my prayers
Bryce was so kind & considerate, usually he would be in the shop to pick up a gift for his mom. One time, he came by to pick up some things re: a project he & Paul were working on for my son who has autism & Bryce was so kind & encouraging. I am just so sorry for your loss. May God bless you all and carry you through the days ahead. Jacqui & Orville Abney & Jeff

God be with you all and give you the strength, comfort, faith & support you need to get through tomorrow, this next year and until you meet with him again in heaven. Sheryl Cordray
I met Bryce at World Harvest Bible College. He was one of my students. He was eager to learn and pure joy to have in class. I also had the pleasure to get to know him outside of the classroom. He had integrity, love for The Lord and a high regard for his family. Bryce will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are for his family.
We are sorry for your loss. Rick, Linda, Shawn & Jennifer Carson
Bryce and some of his classmates were the first to go through training as peer counselors at Mooresville High School. It was a program that offered no high school credit and no grade for the class that I led. Once he completed the training he continued on with after school training. There was no monetary reward–only my gratification for his help and hopefully his own personal growth. He was a true leader and a brother to all whom he helped. When I met you, his parents, today I was pleased to hear that perhaps he carried on some of what he learned at Camp Erin, his church affiliations and other facets of his life. And now I’d like to think he is continuing his volunteer work and that we will meet again. With fond memories of fun and hard work. Mrs. Sherry Foster, retired guidance counselor
My family shares its deepest sympathies with you. We have lost a wonderful man. He is with the Good lord now and all is well. Richard S andrew,Jr. and family
We are so sorry for your loss of such a great man!
We were so sorry to hear about your beloved son. What a wonderful young man, wish we could have spent more time with him in his older years. I remember like yesterday as you were showing him off at the farm in Illinois! We dearly miss the days of old, family get togethers, Christmas, Morrisonville Picnic etc. Our thoughts and prayers are surely with you during this most difficult time. Hope to see you all soon. Greg and Gloria Beaman – The whole Beaman Bunch!
Dear Donnie and Jan, Sorry we were not able to come to see Bryce one last time and give you some support and hugs. I remember the sweet boy and handsome young man. Thinking of you. Caren Mansfield
Mr. & Mrs. Mansfield, I am so very sorry and heart broken to hear about Bryce. He was just purely a special man and loved the Lord with all his being. We had so very many wonderful prayer times and just good talks over the phone. He shared so many stories about his life including his wonderful family. I have had him on my heart for sometime since the last time I tried to call him his phone was no longer in service. I finally researched and found out just about an hour ago. Please allow me to tell you how very sorry I am. He loved you dearly and my prayers are with you. I met Bryce for the first time when he was in Oklahoma. He traveled to Madisonville, Texas where I live and spoke at a little church here one evening. I had the pleasure to have him in my home for several days. He called me MaMa Royse and said I was his Texas MaMa. We talked 3 or 4 times a year and I will truly miss him. I absolutly adored him and knew he had many many gifts from God and was truly dedicated to his work. May the Lord Bless and Keep You knowing you will be with him again. Debbie C. Royse Madisonville, Texas
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Mansfield, I just got the news about Bryce and I’m so very sorry for your loss!!!! It had been such a long time since I’d talked to Bryce, but I loved him dearly!!! He was one of my dearest and most cherished friends! I don’t know how I would have survived life during the time he and I met if it were not for his friendship and prayers!! He was there when my children went to live with their dad back in Texas and I found myself selling cars which I ‘d never done before. We worked together in Tulsa at the auto dealership 2003-2005. I had to pleasure of meeting you one time when you came to visit him when he was having some medical issues. I don’t know if you will remember me, but I remember you and what a great time we had hanging out in your hotel room eating crackers & cheese and just talking and sharing stories. I can’t believe he has gone to be with the Lord so soon! I wish we had stayed in touch better and had taken time to get together again. After I moved back to Texas in 2005, we lost touch as the years went by. Bryce was such a big part of my life for several years and I can still recall our late night suppers at Cheddars after the dealership closed! We probably ate supper together every night for I don’t know how long!! He shared his vision with me and I always believed he would see it come to fruition!! I don’t know much about his life these last few years, but I pray he knew how much he meant to me and how special he really was to so many people!!! I will never forget him and look forward to the day when I will see him again in Heaven!!! Please know you and your family are in my prayers and thank you for the gift of your son to us all!! Sincerely, Barbara Reed Bryan, Texas
I just read you note. have been trying to reach you, know you would want to know. Its so hard to let him go. We were in Florida when it happened, he was house and dog sitting for us. On the 15 he was taken to the hospital, with what he thought was the flu. talked to him everyday. Friday the 17th of January we called around 10:00 and talked to him said he was feeling so much better and was going home that day. Then we got a call from the hospital at 3:30 said he was gone. they said it was the H-1 N1 flu. That is about all we know, He thought so much of you and you family. If you want to send me your address I will send you something to remember him. Thanks for you love. Jan and Don Mansfield. Our address is 810 N Indians St, Mooresville In 46158
