Bryer Tate Wilson was born on August 19,2007, in Grant, Nebraska. He died at the age of 16 on May 18, 2024, in a car accident on a county road outside of Big Springs, Nebraska. He would have been a junior in the fall.
One of Bryer's goals was to break the school records for weight lifting. He planned to work on Carlson's Ranch. He loved spending time with family and friends and being outside - especially when it rained.
His activities included football, 4-H, trap, throwing shotput during track, and mentoring youth. He really enjoyed shooting his guns, and had a strong belief in God and country.
He was steadfast in his beliefs and had a strong sense of integrity. He was kind, and he was patient. He was a protector of the underdogs and he fearlessly challenged those around him. He always tried to be the best version he could be, and he encouraged and inspired others to do the same. He was always comparing himself to those who were better than him.
One of his love languages was quality time. Even if it wasn't something he specifically liked doing, he would do it just to be with the people he loved - those who were important to him. Another was acts of service. He willingly did things for others if they needed done. He was a man of action like that.
Bryer is survived by his parents, Gabe and Lisa Wilson; his siblings, Annlyn, Truman, and Brianna Wilson; his sister-in-law, Caroline Wilson; his grandfathers, Bruce Wilson and Don Baker; two Uncles, Mitchell Wilson and Jake Vanhorn; an aunt, Patsy Vanhorn; two cousins, Bailey and Jack Vanhorn; Rob, Amy, Lauryn, Ella, John, and Jacob Stanley; and several other family and friends. Bryer was predeceased by his grandmothers, Bernice Wilson and Judy Baker.
