On Friday 10/16/2026 Bryan was rushed to Emerson Hospital after feeling unwell while attending a football game. Because Bryan has lived with a hereditary heart condition for most of his life, his medical team quickly determined that he needed a higher level of care in order to save his life. He was transferred to Lahey Hospital in Burlington, and once he was stabilized, he was moved again to a top hospital in Boston, where he is now receiving ongoing care and further testing.

Bryan's heart is in rough shape, and it has also affected his kidneys, liver, and lungs. Right now, doctors are working to confirm whether he is healthy enough to undergo a heart transplant in the near future. This sudden and unexpected decline in Bryan's health has been incredibly hard on everyone who loves him. His body is working overtime and though there will be ups and downs as he continues to heal, the takeaway is that he has been making improvements, even if they are small, daily.

Anyone who knows Bryan knows his fun-loving personality and caring spirit. He means so much to the people around him, from the players and coaches he supports on and off the football field to the students he works with in his full-time job and his close friends. Most of all, he is deeply loved by his daughter Kylie, sister Kim & brother-in-law Jesse, brother John, nephews Jayson, Tony, and his niece Halle.

The donations that are made will go directly towards any financial burden Bryan may have accrued during this time or to keep up with necessities he will need post hospital discharge. Some examples would be but not limited too:

Medical: Expenses while he is in the hospital, services received there, all things that go with it. They began to accrue the day he walked into Emerson, made a pit stop for stabilization at Lahey so they could prepare him for transport to a hospital in Boston where he is receiving the best care. At this time there is no thought of a discharge date. Should he have the transplant he will need round the clock care for at least the first 6 months, frequent trips to and from Boston for follow up care and medication for the rest of his life to keep his new heart thriving and his body loving it and not rejecting it. Just like the discharge date, there is no answer as to when he will be back at work, but we all know that Bryan enjoys coaching and football and him returning to those types of things are not out of the question, but the rush can not be there.

General Finances: Bry has a car he worked hard to get along with insurance. Money from the go fundme will also go towards keeping up with those payments and though he has transportation to appointments initially, when he is more independent and can go solo he will need his own means of transportation. This is viable to keep as it is also apart of his on going care longterm because we all know when Bry gets the go ahead from the doctors that he doesn't need drivers anymore, he'll be going solo (or trying, that is to be determined)

I've learned that being the organizer of a go fund me is not easy and I a learning things as I go. Kim (Sister & health care proxy) as well as family gave me consent to start the go fundme, run it, and trusts me to disperse the funds as bills come in, in a timely manner which I will 100%. If I can take anything off their plate so they can focus on Bry and less on finances i'm going to do my best. My goal is to keep you all updated on what the money has gone too, so you also are made aware what a positive impact your donation has made to him. Kim is keeping me informed of what the incoming bills/expenses are. The goal is to lessen the financial burden, because less is more.

Bryan no matter the situation is always there for anyone who needs the support. That is just who he is. If you are able to give or share this fundraiser, any support would mean so much to Bryan and to the family and friends standing beside him through this fight. Updates will happen, daily ones would be overwhelming cause there is constant change, so spreading them out is the best option.

Thank you again to every who has donated or been there for him & his Family. If you have any questions, I think you can message on gofund me, i'd be more than happy to connect.
