Bryan sat across from me at work. When he saw me leave my cubicle he would say “Get back to work” in a harsh but playful way. I would always try to come up with a comment that would try to match his playfulness. What a fun 45-second break at work that would be. At lunch break he would say …what do you think of this? starting a short discussion on a political, sociological, or a moral topic. Of course “He knew” I would always have an opinion…it was always a high-spirited and interesting comparison of opinions.
It is a loss to our workplace in talent, camaraderie, and most of all to the character of the man that makes things better for us all. The World has lost and Heaven has gained with Bryan’s passage. For us who had worked with him, we are all perplexed and saddened with the sudden loss of this Good Man. My sincere condolences to you and your family. We all will miss him. Some things in the world make men great as judged by society. Some things make a man a good man as judged by God. I think bryan was a good man.

Dear Diane, Megan and Ben,
There is absolutely nothing I can say to ease your pain, but do know that all of you are in our thoughts, prayers and mostly in our hearts. Megan has become a part of our family over the years and in turn so has the rest of the Tiede family. We can never repay all that Megan has done for Danielle these past few months, so please do not hesitate to ask us for anything. We love Megan and are more than willing to help.
Our love and sympathy,
Wayne and Becky Mishler

Diane and all,
I was a co-worker of Bryan’s at UTEC. We played years of softball and golf with each other in the various leagues in the industrial park. Bryan was always a great guy to deal with professionally and personally. He was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Bryan for many years at UT. He was a very helpful and genuinely nice person. I am sure his wonderful caring personality made him great father and husband.
Although words cannot lessen the pain I hope you can find comfort in knowing how well thought of Bryan was by all who knew him. You were blessed to have him in your life.

Sorry for your loss. I worked with Bryan for many years at UTC, he was a GREAT guy! We would tease each other, he would call me Squid (we both served in the Navy). Everyone liked Bryan, he will be missed.
June 21st, 2010 at 8:43 am
Dear Diane,
My heart breaks for you, your children, and Bryans family. I pray that God gives you the strength and the guidance you will need through this difficult time. I will continue to pray for you all.

Diane and Family,
I am so terribly sorry to hear of your loss. I know that there is nothing I can say to ease your pain, but please know that you all are covered in prayer.
June 21st, 2010 at 9:27 am
I have worked at UTEC for a short time, and there are some folks who pass you in the hall and there are some who always smile, speak and make you feel welcome. Bryan was the latter. I want his family to know what a special person he was to strangers at work and how much I especially appreciated his kindness. He will be sorely missed.
June 21st, 2010 at 9:38 am
Diane and Family,the passing of Bryan saddens my heart. I knew him for just a short time, but in that time, I could tell he was a good man. When he left Hartford Steam Boiler to return to UTEC, I felt it was a great loss to our company, but a significant gain for you and Bryan. You will be in my prayers. God Bless you and your family.

Diane,
My thoughts are with you and your family. In many ways, being a classmate with both of you, and having Bryan in my confirmation class at St. Peters, the loss touches me in a very profound way. I hope you will be comforted in realizing that there is a large community of people that will be praying for you, and it is my wish the spirit embraces and guides you in his gentle, peaceful way.
June 21st, 2010 at 2:20 pm

My words can not do justice to the memory of Brian. We prepare our whole lives to lose a grandparent or a parent, but to suddenly lose a son, a brother is beyond what we can prepare for. Know that your shared memories of Brian will keep him with you always.

Very sad news. Sorry I did not make it over to pay my respects, but I just heard this morning.
I remember when Bryan and I went to California for a work-related conference many years ago. He turned it into a family trip, and then invited me to hang out with you all for a weekend of tourist wandering. You guys made me feel welcome even though it was probably a little awkward with me around. I appreciated that.
Bryan, man, you will be missed.

There are no words that can provide comfort to family members during the loss of a loved one. Just know that all of us that worked with Brian at UTEC have caring and loving thoughts for all of you and our prayers will be with you for a long time. Right now I’m sure he is celebrating all of the good things in his life with Jesus and God is providing him with his crown of glory. May our heavenly father watch over you and give you peace.

Tracy and I are deeply saddened to hear about Bryan’s death. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tiede and Mangas extended families.
As I sit at my desk this morning (after receiving a phone call from Paul) the initial memory that came to mind was Bryan’s alway’s friendly smile and never ending welcoming advise!
As I reminisce, I fondly remember Bryan as the quite leader every team needs on the playing field and court but never too bashful to make a suggestion in the huddle or dugout to compensate for my coaching decisions….never questioning but always suggesting… ‘if I were you, I would….!
Bryan loved to throw the football and saw no little need to run the ball unless it was the naked reverse play and thank God the 3-pointer in basketball had not evolved yet because he would have loved to put it up because there were never any ‘bad’ shots as far as he was concerned. I will miss Bryan!
June 22nd, 2010 at 5:21 pm
Dear Diane and Family,
So sorry for your loss. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Remember all the good times you’ve shared. Until you met again, may the peace of God sustain you and may He hold you in the palm of His hand.
With sympathy,

We have been on vacation and just heard today about Bryan. George an Regina Frazier told me of his passing and I could not believe it. They were very fond of Bryan as he came to thier house with communion several times recently. I wish words could ease the grief I know your family is feeling, but our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bryan is in a wonderful place awaiting our arrival. Dont give up faith. God Bless you.
July 5th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Bryan was a great man. We had traveled for work a couple of times and he always kept things interesting. When I worked with him, he was always helpful and supportive. As a person, he was generous and kind. I was saddened to hear of his death and my prayers are with you as you go through this loss.

Diane & family, I served with Bryan onboard the U.S.S. Fort Snelling and was one of his Pals. I am so fortunate to have God put him in my path. Every time I thought of Bryan he brought a smile and a laugh to me, we had so many. God bless all of you and give you strength. (The Pals)

Dear Diane, Megan and Ben;
Please accept my deepest condolences, I too was a part of Bryans past in the United States Navy aboard the USS Fort Snelling (LSD-30). We were all just young people who grew up to be men very fast, many of us established and maintained personal relationships with whom we served. It was my privilege and honor to have served along side Bryan. We will all meet again in Gods kingdom.
Very respectfully
Keith Leyerle
