Willard Kenneth Bryant

Willard Kenneth Bryant, lovingly known as Kenneth or Ken, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2025, at the age of 89, as a resident of Loganville, Georgia. Born on March 3, 1936, in Dalton, Georgia, Ken lived a long, full life marked by devotion to his family, hard work, and the simple joys that brought him true happiness.

A 1953 graduate of Dalton High School, Ken proudly built a 40-year career as a printer with Foote and Davies. He was deeply dedicated to his craft and well-respected by colleagues who valued his reliability, skill, and strong work ethic.

Outside of work, Ken found joy in the outdoors and in the company of those he loved. He enjoyed camping, tending to his garden, and sharing meals out with family and friends. His presence brought warmth and steadiness, and he had a way of making everyone around him feel cared for, supported, and never alone. Kenneth was the kind of man who showed up—ready to help, ready to listen, and ready to love.

Ken is preceded in death by his beloved 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 best friend. He also leaves behind 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 many extended family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory.

A visitation will be held on Sunday, November 23, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Wages and Sons Gwinnett Chapel. Interment will take place at a later date at West Hill Cemetery in Dalton, Georgia.

Ken Bryant’s legacy of kindness, love, and quiet strength lives on in the many lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
