Obituary

SUN PRAIRIE - In the early morning of Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022, God called home Shawn Alan Bryant, age 50, while surrounded by family and loved ones. A warrior of lung cancer for seven years, he had suffered well and is now resting well.


Shawn was born on March 28, 1972, in Litchfield, Minn., the son of Leonard and Judith (Wendorff) Bryant. He graduated from Hutchinson High School in 1990 and received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from UW-Eau Claire. Shawn was united in marriage to Carrie (Perr) on Sept. 6, 1997, in Menomonie, Wis.


Shawn worked as a project manager for WPS for 20 years and he was a member of City Church.

He was a lifelong Vikings fan and enjoyed photography. Shawn loved fishing, camping (especially at Yogi Bear Resort in Warrens), kayaking, hiking, metal detecting and Pokémon hunting. He cherished family vacations and his favorite being their trip to Sanibel Island in Florida.


Shawn is survived by his wife of 25 years, Carrie; children, Emma, Jax and Lexa; parents, Leonard and Judith; sister, Stacey (Paul) Lockhart and their children, Brandon and Cody; sister-in-law, Kristine (Curtis) Barnett and their son, Ross; mother-in-law, Bonnie Perr; brother-in-law, Jason (Michelle) Perr; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.


He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Elmer and Helen Wendorff and Harold and Myrtle Wheeler; uncles, William Bryant, Edward Briant and James Wendorff; aunts, Elizabeth Gunter and Arlene Oestreich; father-in-law, Robert Perr; and brother-in-law, Anthony Perr.


A funeral service will be held at CITY CHURCH, 4909 E. Buckeye Road, Madison, at 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 16, 2022, with Pastor Tom Flaherty presiding with a luncheon to follow. Visitation will be held at the church from 9 a.m. until the time of the service on Friday.
 

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be gifted in Shawn’s name to City Church. The family wishes to thank the staff at SSM Health Hospice for their compassionate care.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Shawn. He was my first boss at WPS. He was very good at what he did, and was a welcoming figure that I very much enjoyed working with. Outside of all of that I could tell he was a very good man. I am certain his passing will leave a hole in the hearts of those who knew him. I pray for peace and comfort for all of those who are grieving.
