David, the son of Julius and Dorothy (Brown) Bryant, was born August 5, 1940, in Marshalltown and was raised on a farm on Morman Ridge outside of Albion. He attended Minerva schools and later Clemons High School. As a self-employed business owner, David provided heavy equipment services including asphalt and blacktop paving, dirt moving and hauling, owner/operator trucking, and other heavy hauling. David was very mechanically inclined and was also a talented auto body painter. David’s hobbies included fishing, auto refurbishing, auto racing and all kinds of motor sports as a participant and he rarely missed a televised Nascar race.

David was a free spirit with a diverse group of friends and acquaintances and he found humor in life experiences.

He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother and a brother-in-law.

David will be remembered by a sister, a sister-in-law, his children, nieces and nephews and friends.

Those sharing in the loss of David are encouraged to honor him by spending an hour in the past-time that you loved sharing with him.
