Larry Lemuel Bryan

Larry was born to Lemuel and Betty Bryan in Polk County, Florida. He spent his youth surfing, skateboarding and loving life. Larry was always down for any music at any time; we would like to believe that it started in his youth.

Larry enlisted in the Navy after high school. (Submarines) He loved to talk about surfing in California and how cold the water was. After the Navy he came back to Central Florida and started to settle down. He had his first daughter, Brandi Bryan, in 1980. He bounced back and forth from Lakeland to Rockledge, Florida and settled in Rockledge with his first wife, Marjorie. They proceeded to have two children, Michael and Natalie Bryan.

Larry was a great Dad. He coached his children’s T-Ball, Little League and Softball teams. He thoroughly enjoyed every minute of coaching. 

Larry was employed for over 20 years as a lineman with Florda Power and Light. He was a dedicated IBEW member and took on the responsibility of Local IBEW President for many years. He loved his job. It was all about keeping his brothers’ safe. He traveled during storms and assisted families through them. His last storm trip was to Puerto Rico; it changed his life. 

In September of 2007 he met Leslie, and they married in 2012. They loved to listen to music, sit on the beach, walk and ride bikes and travel to Michigan to visit families. 

In later years he refused to slow down. He started guitar lessons again, rode his bike and walked frequently. He loved hanging out with his grandsons, Liam and Mason. 

 Larry passed peacefully on October 10, 2025, with his wife and daughters by his side. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Larry is survived by his wife, Leslie (Pullen) Bryan; his daughters, Natalie (Bryan) Coe, Brandi Bryan; his son, Michael Bryan and his grandsons, Liam and

Mason. 

A Celebration of Life for Larry will be held at later date.
