Bryant L. Atwell Jr.

Bryant L. Atwell Jr., 31, of Kennerdell, formerly of Slippery Rock, passed away Thursday from injuries sustained in a car accident.

Bryant was born in Butler on April 15, 1987, and was the son of Bryant L. Atwell Sr. and Kimberly Guiney.

He graduated from Slippery Rock High School.

Bryant was last employed at K&A Mining as an equipment operator. He had previously been self-employed, owning and operating Mr. B's Landscaping and Firewood.

Bryant was married to Danielle Drake on July 14, 2007, and together, they had two children, Kendra and Kristian.

Bryant enjoyed being outside. Whether it was 4-wheeling on his quads or his truck, or taking his kids fishing, he was in his element. He and Danielle took their kids on many camping trips as a family.

Bryant was an avid hunter, especially deer and goose hunting. There wasn't an engine he couldn't fix and you could find him tinkering in his garage if you stopped by his house. He and his buddy, Michael Falla, loved to play a game of pool as well.

Bryant will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
