Eddie’s hands were skilled, and his talents found a home in everything from farming, ranching, mechanics, woodworking, electrical and plumbing projects. He approached his work with a sense of purpose and pride, never shying away from a challenge or an opportunity to help someone in need.

Giving of himself was second nature for Eddie. He found meaning in supporting the Special Olympics, as well as following his grandkids to their athletic events, stock shows and such. He delighted in entertaining and was happiest when surrounded by a bustling house full of friends, family, and laughter. People gravitated to Eddie; he was exceptionally outgoing and made everyone feel at ease. He loved to cook, whether at home, a friend, or any community event. Eddie was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing.

A devoted husband, Eddie, is survived by his beloved wife of fifty-five years, Jeanie Bryson. His legacy lives on through his daughters, Charissa Beattie and husband Chris and Jessica Dodson and husband Pat; grandchildren: Brittany Hancock and husband Trent, Bryson Beattie and wife Emori, Braelyn DeArmond and husband Kade, Wyatt Merry, Olivia Merry, and Baxter Merry; great-grandchildren, Noah, Hadlee, August, Hall, Banks, and Rye. He is also survived by two brothers, Bill Bryson and Tim Bryson and wife Ann.

The depth of Eddie’s impact on his family, friends, and community is immeasurable. He brought people together, created cherished memories, and taught those around him the true meaning of loyalty, humor, and giving.
