Bryan died in a rock-climbing accident July 12, 2014, in Idyllwild, Calif.

He came to Princeton from Los Alamos High School in New Mexico. Bryan roomed in Forbes freshman and sophomore years with Jay Kern and junior and senior years with Chip Smith, Greg Van Horn, and Robert John. He majored in comparative literature and took his meals at Terrace.

Bryan was a devoted musician. As bass player in The Usual Suspects, he joined Pete Maruca, Jeff Gray, Tad Coburn, Tracy Ferrara, and Kim Carson in entertaining us at many Prospect Street parties. During his junior year, Bryan served as music director of Triangle Club.

The class sends sympathy to Bryan’s family.
