Bryant W. Mank Jr., 45, of Washington, passed away unexpectedly at his home Sept. 1. Bryant was born in Rockland on Aug. 19, 1971 to parents Bryant Mank Sr. and Joyce Creamer Mank. Bryant grew up in North Waldoboro, attended local schools, and was a 1989 graduate of Medomak Valley High School.
Bryant loved being a laborer, having worked for Myron Lash on his farm, Gary Newbert’s farm, where he worked for over 20 years as well as working for RZR Hardware in Waldoboro for over four years. One of Bryant’s favorite pastimes was going to car shows with his good friend David Benner Sr. Bryant also had a ’71 Chevy Cheyenne truck restored, which meant a lot to him.
Bryant was always talked about as being a hard worker, dedicated to his jobs, and someone who would help anyone who needed it. Being able to work on the farm allowed him to have his own small garden at Gary Newbert’s, one that he was proud to work in.
Bryant was predeceased by his mother, Joyce Mank in 2006.
Left to cherish his memory are his father, Bryant Mank Sr. of Rockland; sister, Lorie Mank and companion Dalton Crummett; nephew, Braden Crummett of Washington; as well as other aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends who knew him through the places he worked at.
There will be a celebration of Bryant’s life from 6-8 p.m., Wed., Sept. 14, at Hall’s of Waldoboro, 949 Main St. in Waldoboro.
