Bryan died peacefully surrounded by family May 29, 2022 in Collierville, TN. He was born July 28, 1968 in Selmer, TN to Floyd Earl Hawkins Jr. and Barbara Foust Herring. Bryan lived his early life in Corinth. He graduated from Kossuth High School in 1987, joined the United States Marine Corps and served 4 years having lived in Japan during that time. Bryan held many jobs with his last being for the Town of Walnut. He enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren, he loved to grill and cook for his family, fish, spending time on the river and country music. Bryan traveled through life at a slow pace, never in a hurry, he never met a stranger, would take home any stray and normally did. He loved God, his family, life and he loved his country. He was a proud Marine and was honored to be a member of The United States Veterans and Family Honor Guard. Honoring his fellow soldiers and their families brought him great joy and peace.
