Homer Reese Bryant, Jr.

On Tuesday, September 28, 2021, Homer Reese Bryant, Jr., passed away at the Houston Medical Center in Warner Robins.
A Middle Georgia native, Homer was born on October 3, 1946, in Byron, Georgia. He was the son of the late Homer Reese Bryant, Sr. and Rebecca Watson Brookins. A dedicated worker, Homer’s first job was at Bryant Appliance, where he worked for many years. A repair person, Homer knew how to do and fix everything. Later on, Homer was a truck driver for a number of years at the Macon Telegraph. Of the Christian faith, he was a devoted member of Byron Baptist Church. Homer also loved to hunt and fish whenever the opportunity arose.

Homer’s favorite phrase to say was, “the good Lord knows;” and the good Lord knows that Homer loved his family unconditionally. He was the best father and taught his children right from wrong. A gentle giant, Homer had a heart of gold.
In addition to his parents, Homer was preceded in death by his son, William Bryant; granddaughter, Christina; and his brother, David Bryant.
