Bryan was born in Oslo, Norway to the delight of his parents, Jerry and Jia. He grew up with his family in Irvine, California. At the Master's College in Santa Clarita, he found his true passion, rock climbing. He could both lead and follow multiple-pitch climbs, always safe and patient with new climbers. His friends miss him enormously.
At some point, Bryan contracted Lyme disease. The devastating disease invaded his nervous system and kept him in debilitating pain. But he wouldn't give up: he agreed to one invasive treatment after another, but the pain only grew. His last years confined him to his bed nearly all the time, in agony. Bryan was an artist, a philosopher, and a poet. He did battle against the overwhelming enemy for years after an ordinary man would have given up.
There is now a Bryan-shaped hole in the universe, but he will live on in us, forever. Bryan is survived by his parents Jerry and Jia, his grandmother Grete, his uncle Rolf, and his aunt Laurie. He was predeceased by Reidar Frydenberg and Harry and Carol Bower.
Interment of his ashes will take place under the oaks at the El Toro Memorial Park, 25751 Trabuco Road, Lake Forest, CA, on Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.
