In Memory of Bryan G. Dawson
Bryan Gibson Dawson, of Plano, TX, died unexpectedly on Thursday, May 5, 2022, at the young age of 27 years old. Bryan leaves behind his parents, Gib and Becky; sisters, Bethany and Rachel; and his dogs, Buddy and Trixie. He will also be missed by his grandmother, Lynndee Munson Keels, and his aunts, uncles, and cousins from the Munson and Giddens families.
Bryan graduated from Plano Senior High School in 2013. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication from Louisiana State University in 2018. He loved spending time with his LSU family, including his Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity brothers. Bryan will be forever remembered as “Toaster” by his LSU friends.
Bryan loved to play golf and cheer on the Dallas Mavericks. He craved spicy foods as he seemed to reach for the hot sauce before he even tasted a meal. Going to school at LSU fostered a love for the outdoors and gave him the opportunity to go hunting and fishing with friends. His calendar was usually booked on Saturdays; in the Fall it was all about proudly supporting Tigers’ football, and at other times it was watching the UFC fight card. His smile was infectious and his sarcastic humor never failed to make a room laugh. Bryan will be incredibly missed by all who knew him and he will always be remembered fondly.
While his family and friends are devastated by his passing, all who knew Bryan are forever changed by the life he lived. The extent of his impact and love for all is evident in those left behind. His family encourages you to fondly hold on to the memories of Bryan and share his love with others.
