Bob is also survived by a large circle of devoted brothers: Joseph Bryant of Jackson, South Carolina, William Bryant of Columbia, Steve Scurry and wife Angie of Sumter, Mike Parker and wife Virgie of Orangeburg, and Patrick Parker of Newport News, Virginia. Professionally, Bob worked as the owner and operator of vending services at the University of South Carolina-Sumter and later at the Savannah River Site. He served in this capacity with dedication through the Commission of the Blind of South Carolina, displaying steady perseverance and a strong commitment to excellence before stepping back to retire early for health reasons.

Serving as a Deacon at Jackson Bible Church

Away from work, Bob was a man of profound spiritual conviction. He served as a dedicated member and Deacon at Jackson Bible Church in Jackson, South Carolina, where his faith guided his daily life. According to obituaries published by Rowland-Ford Funeral Home and The Aiken Standard via Legacy.com, his spiritual journey was marked by a genuine passion for sharing the word, and he was deeply loved by his church family—particularly by the “Mommy’s” he held so dear.

Bob also found immense joy and tranquility in the outdoors, spending countless hours bass fishing and always watching for the next big catch. As a Lifetime Member of the North American Fishing Club, the lake served as a familiar backdrop for reflection and peace.
