Paul Raymond Bryan

Paul Raymond Bryan (Paulyboy), 59, died April 7, 2015 in Port Orchard, WA. He was born May 27, 1955 in Truckee, CA to George & Grace (Cody) Bryan.

Paul was a complex human being. He lived his life simply. He was the 6th child out of 9 siblings. He had a pure heart, if Paul was your family or your friend you were better off for it. If you ever were in need, Paul would do his best to help you get what you needed.
Paulyboy joined the US. Navy at age 18 and served his country as a Gunners Mate for 4 years, returning home with an honorable discharge. He got to travel while in the service. Paulyboy was proud to serve his country. After he returned home, he spent time working on his craft which was carpentry. He became very talented and worked for quite a long period of time for Multman Construction out of Seaside, Oregon. He also loved working out in the woods logging and spent time doing concrete and block work with his younger brother Joe Nicolazzi. He loved fishing, crabbing, and clamming as well as boating. He was an avid football fan of the Seattle Seahawks and also the Seattle Mariners. He also was a very good baseball player. As a young man and anyone who knew him, knew he had an eye for the ladies. Paulyboy was a very good man and was loved very much by friends and family.

When life got tough, he forged ahead and overcame adversity. Paul had a belief in God.

He had a very special relationship with stepson Keith Jones. Pauly also leaves behind sisters Fran Bryan, Elouise Bryan, Roberta Bryan; brothers Daniel, David (Carol), John (Jenette), and Joseph (Dawn) Nicolazzi; and many close friends. He was preceded in death by parents George & Grace Bryan and brother Bill.

Paul lived by his own moral code. To quote Bon Jovi “I just want to live while I’m alive”. And that is what Paulyboy did. Until we meet again our brother, we will miss and love you.

We will honor his life at a later date.
