Mr William Benjamin "Ben" Bryan

William Benjamin "Ben" Bryan June 27, 1997 – June 25, 2025 William Benjamin "Ben" Bryan, 27, of Madden, Mississippi, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, June 25, 2025—just two days shy of his 28th birthday. He was surrounded by his loving parents at the time of his passing. Ben courageously battled Guillain-Barré Syndrome for several years. Though his journey was difficult, he faced every day with strength, grace, and an unforgettable smile. Ben was born on June 27, 1997, to Tommy Bryan and Sherry Bryan. He graduated from Leake Central High School in 2015 and went on to earn his Associate of Applied Science degree in Forestry Technology from East Mississippi Community College on May 7, 2019. A faithful follower of Christ, Ben was a member of Madden Baptist Church. He lived his life with a heart full of kindness, humor, and unwavering love for his family and friends. Ben had a passion for sports—especially baseball—and was a loyal wrestling fan with an impressive collection of wrestling figures that he began assembling at a very young age. He enjoyed classic television shows like The Andy Griffith Show and Sanford and Son, which always brought a smile to his face. Above all, he loved spending time with his beloved dog, Ava, who stayed faithfully by his side throughout his illness. To know Ben was to love him. His hugs were big, his smile could light up any room, and his spirit touched everyone he met. He never complained and lived each day with joy, laughter, and love. Ben is survived by his parents, Tommy and Sherry Bryan of Madden; his brothers, Blake Wilcher (Bethany) of Philadelphia, MS, and Tommy Bryan Jr. (Melissa) of Collinsville, MS; and his sister, Tammy Bryan Pugh (Robert) of Pace, FL. He is also remembered with love by extended family members—his aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces—and countless friends who will forever hold his memory close. Visitation will be on June 28th at Wilcox Funeral Home / 5:00-7:00 Funeral services will be held at Madden Baptist Church on June 29th at 2:00 p.m. with Bro. Corbin Jenkins and Bro. George Terry Sciple officiating. Minister of music will be Craig Stevens. Graveside service will follow at Standing Pine Cemetery Pallbearers: Walker Wilcher, Matthew Prestige, J. D.
