Jerold Erwin Bryant, age 91, of Sand Lake, passed away early Monday morning, August 8, 2022 at his home in Sand Lake. The son of Fred & Mary (Ruppert) Bryant, he was born on September 15, 1930 in Pierson Township.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Doris Stinson; and two brothers, James Bryant and Edwin Bryant. Surviving are his wife, Trudy Bryant; his children, Bill & Sue Bryant, Dave & Diana Bryant, and Nancy & Gerard Bogner; two step-children, Deana & Tim Platz, and Jim Phillips; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
