Bryan died Wednesday, July 28, 2021 at his home. Bryan had been dealing with seizures for the last four years, that resulted from an abscessed tooth. At that time, he fought for his life, undergoing many surgeries. We were grateful for the extra time we had with him.
He was born on January 1, 1990 to Sheldon Royer and Kristy Juopperi. He grew up all around the Iron Range and attended Virginia High School. At the age of fourteen, Bryan started working at Sears. He continued to learn the business, having moved up into delivery and then sales. He was employed at Sears for fourteen years until it closed. Bryan was very knowledgeable on every aspect of the business and enjoyed serving the customers.

He enjoyed watching all sports and analyzing statistics. He spent many hours practicing hitting baseballs and shooting hoops. Hence the nickname “Shooter”. Bryan also enjoyed music and wearing matching hats, shoes and clothes. He was known for his exceptional dance moves. Above all, Bryan took the greatest pleasure in his two children. He is remembered as a friendly person, always willing to help others, and one who could light up a room and had a heart of gold.
