Bryan Faidley

(From Ozark Funeral Home)

Bryan Clifton Faidley, 65, of Rocky Comfort, Missouri, passed away unexpectedly at his residence with his wife by his side on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. He entered this life on August 27, 1959, born to Charles Eugene and Sharon Lynn (Williams) Faidley, in Ludington, Michigan. He created a legacy of love that will be cherished forever by those who knew him.

At seventeen, Bryan met the love of his life, Denise, and together they shared a love so steadfast, it withstood the tests of time. They were married on September 13, 1980, building a life filled with mutual respect, devotion, and admiration. Bryan's greatest accomplishment, he would often say, was the family he nurtured alongside Denise, a family rooted in love and blessed by faith.

Bryan’s work ethic was as strong as his devotion to his family. He worked 30 years at Bentonville Casting Company in Bentonville, Arkansas.

A man of many passions, Bryan was an avid outdoorsman, a testament to his love of nature. He spent countless hours deer hunting and fishing with his son and grandsons. An ardent supporter of the Michigan Wolverines, he never wavered in his loyalty, his spirit shining through in every game he watched. He loved cheering on his grandchildren in their extracurricular activities, from watching football or baseball games, band concerts or dance recitals.

In the garden, Bryan was in his element. His green thumb was legendary; the vibrant Gerber daisies and the purple hues of lilac bushes that flourished under his care were a testament to his talent and patience.

Bryan will be remembered as a loving, spirited soul who was generous with his laughter and kindness. His forward-looking attitude and ability to fix just about anything brought comfort and stability to those around him. His spirit touched all those he met, making the community a warmer place.

He is preceded in death by his father, Charles Eugene Faidley; and a granddaughter, Angel Marie Poole.

Bryan is survived by his wife of 44 years, Denise Faidley, his mother, Sharon Faidley; his son, Bryan Faidley and his wife, Andrea; his daughter, Stacey Poole; his brother Craig Faidley and wife, Tehra; his two sisters, Tina Kurtyka and Alicia Holmes; and his grandchildren, Brayden Faidley, Charli Poole, Aubrie Faidley, and Blake Faidley; and several nieces and nephews, who loved him very much as well as a host of other family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 19, 2025, at the First Baptist Church of Pineville, Missouri. Pastor Leo Lenze will officiate. As we bid farewell to a soul as revered and cherished as Bryan, we take solace in the knowledge that his light lives on through the numerous lives he touched and the impact he made.
