Bryan Craig Loftis

Bryan Craig Loftis, 45, passed away on May 19, 2026. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend whose kindness, generosity, and selfless spirit touched countless lives.

Bryan was a member of Compass Church and worked for Raider Express. He was known for always showing up for the people he loved and for wanting everyone around him to succeed and prosper. One example of Bryan’s kindness was something so simple yet meaningful — during storms and rainy days, he would come outside with an umbrella to help the ladies from their cars and walk them safely inside out of the rain. That was the kind of person Bryan was: always thinking of others before himself. Family meant everything to Bryan — not only his own family, but the families and lives of others he cared for deeply.

If you had a need, Bryan had a fix. Bryan had talents in a whole lot of areas, almost unlimited; he “Just Knew”. Bryan had a passion for inventing, was very quick to come up with solutions, he loved life, family, friends, traveling, photography, drone photography, snow skiing, and capturing the beauty that he saw everywhere. He loved being a father or best friend to those who needed one. He was very passionate about serving others, no matter how great or small. Every job Bryan was given, he did his best to excel, this was also true with Raider Express, they became his extended family and he had a passion to serve them all. From the time he was a child, my parents and I saw his gifts develop. Raised in church he knew the right path to go, this gave him the ability to be the Bryan we know. We will miss his love, smile, hug, humor, and strong will to succeed. He will forever be engraved in our hearts, Bryan our special gift from above, this you will forever be.

He is survived by his mother, Aquilla Loftis; his father, Stephen Loftis with wife Sharon Loftis; his brothers, Jonathan Loftis and Jeffrey Loftis with wife Kelsey Loftis; his nieces, Baylee and Abigail Loftis; his nephew, Tristan Loftis; and his grandfathers, Kenneth Siler and C.D. Loftis. He was also loved by many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and friends.

Bryan had a curious and innovative mind. He was passionate about solar and hydroelectric power generation and loved creating and exploring new ideas. He also enjoyed traveling for both work and pleasure and valued the experiences and people he encountered along the way.

More than anything, Bryan will be remembered for his servant heart, contagious laugh, and great grin, and the way he quietly helped others expecting nothing in return. His life was a reflection of generosity, loyalty, and love. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew him.
