**Help Us Say Farewell and honor the memory of a Loving Father **

"Bryan (1961-2025), beloved father and journeyman ironworker, left an indelible mark on our lives and Indianapolis' skyline after 30 incredible years with Ironworkers Local 22 in Indianapolis, Indiana. His 30-year ironworking career was marked by dedication and danger – surviving a devastating beam accident that crushed his leg, yet never crushing his spirit. He contributed in building iconic downtown buildings with his own hands and a heart of gold. His injury unfortunately left him unable to continue his career as an ironworker. His unwavering dedication to family and craft inspired countless others. With a spirit of steel and a soul of humor, he touched everyone he met – his devoted, generous & compassionate spirit will be deeply missed.

He leaves behind five children who he committed to supporting and keeping his legacy alive. His absence leaves us devastated and unprepared for the costs of his funeral. He did not have a life insurance policy, and as a family, we are struggling to cover the expenses to give him the proper farewell he deserves.

Any donation, big or small, will go directly toward funeral expenses and helping us bring him home with the love and respect he deserves. Your kindness and generosity will mean the world to us during this difficult time.

His legacy will live on through loved ones, forever grateful for his love and guidance, after his tragic loss of life due to dysphasia.

Thank you for your compassion and support.

**With gratitude,**

The Darden Family
