Bryan Gross, age 36, died on Monday, April 23, 2018. Bryan was born on August 16, 1981 in Vallejo, California to Charles Richard Gross and Kathleen Elaine (Brooks) Gross. As a child Bryan enjoyed the Boy Scouts of America and went on to achieve the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout in 1998. Bryan was a curious learner, very avid reader and considered by many a science nerd. He graduated from Harding University with a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and was working towards his master’s degree. His career began as a science teacher and in logistics, but most recently he enjoyed driving for Raider Express as a truck driver. He spent a short time in the U.S. Navy in Pensacola, Florida. Bryan was a loving husband, a very dedicated father who immersed himself in all things family. He will be remembered for being a fun-loving person, who enjoyed camping, cooking (especially the kind that involved a large open flame) and his eclectic taste for all music and the enjoyment he found while playing the trumpet. He was always trying to find a way to help others without self-recognition. Bryan is preceded in death by his grandparents Col. Pershing C. Gross USAF Ret. and Ozelma Gross, Lawrence Brooks and Eileen Brooks. Left to cherish his memory are wife Amanda; daughter Josalyn; son Ethan; parents Kathy and Charles Gross; sister Hillery Cross and husband Mike Cross and two children Sawyer and Hannah; and numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, and other loving family and friends. A memorial service will be held at 3:00 PM on Friday, May 4, 2018 at Heartland Church, 4020 Nazarene Drive Carrollton, TX 75010. The family requests memorial donations be made to the Boy Scouts of America Longhorn Council https://www.longhorncouncil.org/.
