Stephen Bryant, age 43, died on April 19, 2008. He was born on November 4, 1964, in Dallas, TX.

He lived most of his life in the Dallas area attending Newman Smith High School in Carrollton where he was an active member of the band. Steve graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 1987 and later attained a MBA from the University of Dallas.

Steve was an incredibly intelligent, gifted engineer and manager who worked as Director of Engineering for NEC Electronics in Dallas until his death. He had the unique ability to design electronics and perform all manners of technical work, but was still able to relate to customers and give presentations to audiences of all kinds in a clear, understandable manner.

Steve was an extraordinary person that everyone liked as soon as they met him. He had many interests including flying with his private pilot's license, world travel with his family, scuba diving, and spending countless days watching his son, Chris, play baseball and his daughter, Berkeley, swimming in competitions and performing in choir.

Steve had many accomplishments to be proud of in his too-short life, but none more so than his children, Chris and Berkeley. They were the absolute light of his life and always exceeded his high hopes and expectations for them.

Steve is survived by his wife, Rondi; son, Chris; and daughter, Berkeley of Highland Village; his younger brother, who idolized him, Mike, and his wife, Amy; nephews, Alex and Jacob; and nieces, Abby and Keira, of Lewisville; father, Richard Bryant of Highland Village; mother, Nancy Bryant of Carrollton; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins from across the country.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 11 a.m. at the Flower Mound Family Funeral Home in Flower Mound, TX.

In lieu of flowers, Steve's family has requested donations be made to the March of Dimes in Steve's name.

Please keep Steve's family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
