He was a wrestler in high school, going to the State Championship. He went on to wrestle for Ricks College for one year, and was also employed as an EMT for a year. At the time of his death, he was attending SLCC working towards a nursing degree. No matter what his accomplishments, being with his daughter, Brittany, filled and made his life complete. With his wife expecting another daughter, he was employed as a security guard at Kennecott Copper Corp. where he was working when someone shot him multiple times. His remains were finally found in July 1993, near Fairfield in Utah County. He is survived by his wife, Jennifer; two daughters, Brittany and Jessica Ruff; his parents; three brothers, Craig (Beth) Ruff, Kevin (Pam) Ruff, and Todd Ruff, all of South Carolina; parents-in-law, Mike and Norma Ryan; brothers and sisters-in-law, Allison, Kevin, Andrea, Carolyn, Christopher, and Matthew; his grandmother, Wilma Ruff, of Ohio; two nieces; and many friends.

He is been greatly missed by all who knew him, and his beautiful spirit will live on and be remembered.
Update:
Fifteen years after his death, Bryan's former co-worker, Dale Bradley Jr., was charged with his kidnapping and murder.
