I just learned of Bryan Loring´s passing and I want to send my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Bryan and I became friends at Clarksville Athletic Club when he was stationed at Fort Campbell, sometime around 2016 or 2017. He quickly became someone I could truly trust. At a time in my life when I was struggling deeply, working full time but living in my car and barely getting by, Bryan stepped in with no expectation of anything in return. He helped me get into a trailer, covering rent and a deposit, and quite honestly, he changed the course of my life.

His kindness, steady presence, and genuine care will never be forgotten. Bryan was a good man with a huge heart and I will always be grateful for his friendship and the way he showed up when I needed it most. Rest in peace, Bryan. You made a real difference and your light lives on in the lives you touched.

He was my Lieutenant at Ft. Campbell until I retired. This is devastating for everyone and no words can express you grief you must feel. I do plan on being at the service during visiting times.

Bryan was an amazing Soldier and great friend. I served with him while at the 101st Airborne Division. You could not ask for a better Soldier and all around person.

Bryan was my XO when I was the HSC, HHBn 101st Commander. He was a great Soldier, man, and even better friend. He loved life, country music, riding motorcycles lifting and loving life! We stayed in touched over time since we parted from Campbell. Gonna miss our talks!!

I will never forget Captain Loring. He was an incredible Platoon Leader and Fire Direction Officer. I couldn´t have asked for a better man to run the Joker Platoon while at Ft Campbell and in Afghanistan. I will miss you sir.
