  7. I didn’t know you very well but the few times we talked, you were extremely funny, witty and outgoing. You weren’t afraid to be goofy and crack jokes to make people laugh. You lit up a room with smiles and laughter. You were truly a good friend to many and considered someone people could go to, and trust. You’ll be extremely missed by so many people, and you were greatly loved by many as well.

  53. Dear, Kathy, Dad, and Birlew family, I am so sorry for your loss…

    Bryce, I remember when I first met you.

    You were just a child and were in charge of collecting all the Christmas wrapping paper and throwing it away. You took such pride and had in enthusiasm in that job.

    My last memory of you goes back to like 2014 when you were a bit younger. We were all in Florida together, and you just wanted to play and be involved.

    I’m so sorry this happened.

    Praying for healing to all the lives you touched and for everyone who loves you.

  59. Bryce was one of the most caring person I ever met. He would sit down and listen to me vent if I ever needed to. He would always answer my calls. He really actually genuinely cared about what people were going through and how they felt. He was always there for me no matter what. Even when he moved schools he would still reach out to me. I hope he’s in a better place now and I hope he no longer feels negatively anymore. I’ll miss him forever.

  61. Me and Bryce were friends for awhile. We shared a lot of deep conversations and a lot of laughs as well. When we stopped talking I was hoping he would be that person I’d catch up with in 10-20 years. I met him through a friend. She has taken it rough as well. You made us laugh so many times and we shared so many emotions and fun times when you spent the night. You were helpful. You always put others first. I’ll value every moment we shared together. As friends. But also as family. I just wish you could be here to share so many more laughs with us. LLBB️

  89. Thank You , Bryce’s friends and family are amazing. To each one of you out there that has ever showed your loving support to our family we thank you. It really means a lot to us that everyone is able to pull together like that in a time of such need for the love and support you each extended to us. There’s certainly not words to describe the appropriate appreciation that was really felt that day. I still am lost for words on all of it but I know that each one of you has got us through, the many chapters of our very active lives. Lots of memories of so many things that we wouldn’t have carried through without the support of the army of love that is felt each day. THANK YOU! ❤️

Your still missed till this day maiya put up LLB in Mr Ludwig’s room for you. It’s not the same at school anymore. I miss the day snacking out to come hang out with you. I miss you dearly Bryce.
