Albert Bryan Redding, 56, passed away on September 3, 2020 after a heroic battle with cancer. He was a lifelong resident of Calhoun County, Texas and a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, son, and friend, friend of so many.

Bryan was born to Albert and Faye Redding in Port Lavaca, Texas. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Rachel Redding; daughters Jennifer Redding and Katie Redding-Dennis, and son Ethan Redding; brother Virgil (Wanda) Redding and sister Sue (Marvin) Harris, grandchildren Shayleigh Sprague, Kaylynn Harding, Chase Harding, Serenity Riddle, and Kolt Albert Abraham. He was preceded in death by his parents, and beloved nephew Richard Clyde Hawes.

Bryan was devoted to his family, both immediate and extended, and he would do just about anything to help other people out. He was always active; he just couldn’t sit still. He was a former member Port O’ Connor Volunteer Fire Department, former board member of the Port O’ Connor MUD District, and served several years as Calhoun County Sheriff’s Deputy.

Bryan graduated early on from the School of Hard Knocks, with a Masters of No BS; never paid no student loan. He liked to work, but would not be constrained to a narrow career path. At various stages in his life he was a deckhand, mechanic, shrimper, jailer, deputy, and truck driver. His lifelong passion was keeping the family cattle company afloat. Bryan was Yard Superintendent at Orion Marine Group, Port Lavaca, when his illness shut him down.

Funeral services were held at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 9, 2020 at the Port O’ Connor Cemetery Pavilion

Pallbearers were Victor Huber, Joseph Huber, TJ Pompa, Jeremy Harris, Mike Clifton and Robbie Hawes.

Honorary Pallbearers were Andy Falcon, Phillip Gonzales, and Bryan’s nieces Kerri Torres, Christa Pompa, Rachel Huber, Taylor McKinney, Faith Hawes and Sarah Hawes.
