I was so lucky to have him as a teacher and I'm so sad he's gone but it will be ok but those who knew him were blessed.. He'll be in my heart forever.

As neighbors we watched Bryson as a very supportive son and a great father. He and Mary Ann were so proud to be parents, as they were again with Reed. Bryson had such a positive attitude that it affected us all.
At UTPB Frank was able to work with Bryson who was such a determined student.
Marsha was able to watch him become an outstanding teacher at Bush Elementary.
We will miss him greatly as his family will. He was certainly taken from us all too soon.
Barbara, Mary Ann, his sons,and his many friends in MISD and in Midland and all points in Texas and elsewhere, we share loss and will remember Bryson forever. Bryson, we thank you for all the wonderful experiences with you and the Culvers.
We wish we could. be with your family during this trying time.

Mr. Culver and I started at Bush Elementary the same year 1993, my office was across from his classroom. Mr. Culver was a great teacher and friend. Always on the job. He was there for the kids and the Bush staff. I embrace his character and his charisma, He will certainly be missed. Reed and John, as you embrace your father's memories, embrace God, for He cares for you. The Culver family are in our prayers.

I had the honor of teaching with Byson at Bush for 12 years. He always brighted the halls with his smile. He was always willing to help coworkers who needed it. He will be missed by his students and fellow coworkers. I pray for Bryson's family during this difficult time. Remember the good times and happy memories.

Mary and I have known Bryson for years. After running The Bar, he came to work for us and was a valued employee. Shock is not a strong enough word to hear of his passing at such a young age. We know he will be sorely missed by all of his friends and fellow teachers and students.

A friend, a teacher, a man to be admired. What a privilege to have been his co-teacher in the room next door at Bush Elementary in 1993. He is now in the arms of the Lord. Reed and John, embrace the great memories and joyful times you were privileged to have with you Dad. You and your mom, Mary Ann and family will continue to be in our prayers.

Bryson!!! Omg. Dear Family. I am SO sorry for your loss. I am a long time Midlander and have know Bryson for a long time. I know his mom Judge Barbara also. When my little sister (Carrie Mayes) asked me if I remembered Bryson I said OMG yes. When I was a kid and unfortunately for me got thrown in jail, it was Bryson and the Bar that bailed me out. I will NEVER forget that. NEVER!! My parents both LOVED Bryson and Mary Ann also. Great people. I am glad I am not in Midland, otherwise I would be very sad. It really does pull on your heart strings when you loose a favorite and I think we ALL have lost a favorite. I hope you kids know how special a LOT of us feel about your parents. God bless and I leave you with a very heavy heart
