Bobby Jordan Bryant Jr.

It is with heavy hearts and deep gratitude for the life we were privileged to know that we announce the passing of Bobby Jordan Bryant Jr., a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Bob departed this world peacefully on November 2, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Bob was born on December 11, 1960, in Sumter, South Carolina, to the late Bobby Jordan Bryant Sr. and Alethia Jonell Scurry. He was predeceased by his cherished sister, Minnie "Mindy" Edel Gardner. Bob's life was a testament to love, faith, and devotion—a narrative woven with threads of kindness and a commitment to service. On July 7, 2007, Bob married the love of his life, Doris Elizabeth Guest. Together, they shared 19 wonderful years, building a life filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. Bob's legacy lives on through his loving wife Elizabeth; his children, Christopher Salka of Wolcott, NY, Sarah Nichole Bryant (Sean) of Georgetown, SC, and Sherri Renee Bryant (Eric) of Georgetown, SC; and his treasured grandchildren, Nathan Gainey, Ethan Bass, and Marilyn Guest. Bob is also survived by his devoted brothers, Joseph Bryant of Jackson, William Bryant of Columbia, Steve Scurry (Angie) of Sumter, Mike Parker (Virgie) of Orangeburg, and Patrick Parker of Newport News, VA. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he cherished each moment spent in their company. Professionally, Bob was the owner and operator of vending services at the University of South Carolina-Sumter and later at the Savannah River Site, serving with dedication through the Commission of the Blind of South Carolina. His career was characterized by perseverance and an unwavering commitment to excellence before he retired early for health reasons. A man of profound faith, Bob was a dedicated member and Deacon at Jackson Bible Church in Jackson, SC. His spiritual journey was marked by a passion for sharing the Lord's word, and he was deeply loved by his church family, especially by the "Mommy’s" he held so dear. Bob's faith was a guiding light, and he touched the hearts of all who knew him with his compassion and unwavering belief. Bob's love for the outdoors was evident in his passion for bass fishing, a hobby that brought him immense joy and tranquility. As a Lifetime Member of the North American Fishing Club, he spent countless hours at the lake, always on the lookout for the next "big one." A service to celebrate Bob's life will be held on November 8, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Jackson Bible Church, located at 102 McElmurray Farm Rd, Jackson, SC 29831.
