of Batesville, AR

September 18, 1951 - May 12, 2024

Steve and Sharon were college sweethearts in the early 70's at ASU when they were looking toward a future as a pharmacist and schoolteacher. Graduation in May 1973 and married in December, the Bryant's were a family of four by 1979. The foundation was set for a life of love, hard work, laughter, compromise, and sticking together through thick and thin.

Steve Bryant (72), loving husband, father, ''Pop'', and friend passed away, alongside his sweet wife of 51 years, Sharon Bryant (73), caring wife, mother, ''Nena'' and friend, on May 12th, 2024. They lived life to the fullest, attending countless A-State football games both home and away, traveling, walking the dogs, swimming with the grandkids, and watching Heartland together nightly.

Steve was born to Steve Sr. and Jeanette Bryant in Alma, AR on September 18, 1951. Sharon was born to John L. and Gay Collatt in Little Rock, AR on May 1, 1951. They are preceded in death by their parents. Steve and Sharon's legacy includes children Monica Bryant and Mallory (& Justin) Burton, grandchildren Joseph and Sydney Burton. Steve is also survived by his brother Eddie (& Judith) Bryant and sister Kathy Summers.
