Bryan James Woodward

Growing up Bryan was a fun, energetic boy. He loved all sports and was particularly good at baseball, his favorite. He also played soccer and was quite good at it too. When Bryan was a teenager he became very interested in cars. His pride and joy was his red Honda Civic hatchback which he tricked out to the extreme. When he would come home you could hear the music thumping from his car from blocks away. He very much enjoyed going to car shows and did win some trophies with that car. His passion for his vehicles continued for his entire life.

As Bryan grew older his sports passions moved on to golf and football. Bryan became an avid golfer and was very good. He enjoyed playing with his dad, brother-in-law and his friends. He also loved to go to the driving range with his 3 nephews; Joseph, Elijah and Dominic and teaching them how to play. Bryan always went to their soccer matches and basketball games. He loved to kick around the soccer ball with them and throw the football around. He also liked to play baseball with them showing them how to hit, catch and throw.

Bryan cared very much for his family and friends. He loved his sister Christine deeply and would do anything for her. He was always there if she needed him, she was truly his best friend. Bryan was head-over-heels crazy about Joseph, Elijah and Dominic. They were so important to him it is hard to describe. He loved them and would do anything for them and they loved him back just as much. His brother-in-law Joe was Bryan's best buddy. They enjoyed doing things together and shared many of the same interests. Bryan was extremely close to his dad throughout his entire life. From playing baseball together when he was a little boy to beating his dad's butt on the golf course or just hanging out. They loved being together and could not have loved each other any more than they did.

His extended family was just as important to Bryan. He loved and cared for his aunts, uncles and cousins. Some of the best times of his life was when the whole family was together.

Bryan cared very much for his friends. He had many, but like most people there was a core group of buddies that were like brothers to him. They went on vacations, played golf, went to sporting events and so much more. They know who they are.
