It is with heartfelt sympathy that we honor the life and memory of Willard Kenneth Bryant—affectionately known as Kenneth or Ken—who passed away peacefully on November 20, 2025, at the age of 89. A beloved resident of Loganville, Georgia, Ken leaves behind a legacy defined by devotion to family, a steadfast work ethic, and an appreciation for the simple joys that made his life rich and meaningful. Born on March 3, 1936, in Dalton, Georgia, he built a life grounded in love, commitment, and integrity—values that shaped every chapter of his remarkable journey.
A 1953 graduate of Dalton High School, Ken went on to build a distinguished 40-year career as a printer with Foote and Davies. His colleagues knew him as a man who approached his work with pride, discipline, and reliability. Ken’s dedication to his craft earned him the respect of those around him, and his consistent presence served as a source of stability and trust in the workplace. His contribution to the printing profession remains a lasting testament to his character and commitment.
Beyond his professional life, Ken was a man who found joy in the outdoors and in the company of those he cherished. He loved camping, tending to his garden, and sharing meals with family and friends—moments that reflected his appreciation for togetherness and nature’s quiet beauty. Ken had a steady, comforting presence, the kind that made others feel supported, valued, and never alone. He showed up for his loved ones in every way that mattered—ready to listen, ready to help, and ready to love unconditionally.
Ken is preceded in death by his son Bart Bryant; his parents Newt and Ruby Bryant; his parents-in-law Howard and Blanche Roberts; his sisters Janelle Pinson and Betty Jo Farrell; his brother Wayne Bryant; and his daughter-in-law Lou Bryant. He is survived by his devoted wife of 72 years, Norma Louis Bryant, who was his lifelong partner and closest companion. His memory will continue through his children David Bryant, Kirk Bryant, Terry Bryant, and Cindy Martin and her husband Scott; his grandchildren Bryce Martin, Nathan Martin and his wife Avery, Lindsey Bryant, Kelly Bryant, and Danielle Shepard; as well as numerous extended family members and friends.
Visitation will be held Sunday, November 23, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Wages and Sons Gwinnett Chapel, with interment at a later date in West Hill Cemetery in Dalton, Georgia.
Ken Bryant’s legacy of love, humility, and quiet strength will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.
