Bryce had a love for the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing and spending time by the water, and he often went out looking for arrowheads — a small, steady hobby that reflected his curiosity and appreciation for the world around him. Those who knew him remember an outgoing personality, a quick, goofy laugh, and an intelligent, charismatic presence that made him easy to be around.

Family was central to Bryce’s life. He is survived by his parents, David Bullard and Melissa (Cox) Johnson; his children, Bentley Bullard and Sophia Bryant; siblings Gage Bullard (Jess), Seth Hazelwood, Ashland Bullard, Kelsie Bullard, Faith Butler, Ciara Butler, Brianna Cox and K. C. Cox; and grandparents Steve and Carol Bullard, William and Joann Johnson, and Linda Cox. He was also preceded in death by his grandmother, Sharon Heilman. Bryce’s family and many friends gathered to celebrate his life with visitation and funeral services held at Murphy-Parks Funeral Service in Shelbyville.

Those who loved Bryce will remember his warmth, the small joys he sought in nature, and the ways he brightened ordinary moments with humor and kindness. In honoring his memory, family and friends recall a young man who treasured time with his children and cherished the ties of home and kin.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Murphy-Parks Funeral Services of Shelbyville. The family encouraged friends and neighbors to share condolences and memories through the funeral home’s guestbook and to hold close the simple, enduring moments that reflected who Bryce was to them.
