Son of Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Kicker Matt Bryant Passes Away

by The Bull Gator on Sep 24, 2008 4:36 PM EDT in News Comment 8 comments

Our thoughts are with kicker Matt Bryant and his family. Bryant's infant son passed away in his sleep.

Bucs' general manager Bruce Allen issued the following statement: "The entire Buccaneer family is deeply saddened by this tragedy. The Bryants have been an inspiration to our entire community through their commitment to their family and their exhaustive efforts working with children and those in need in the Bay area. Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt and Melissa during this difficult time."

I'm sure I speak for all Bucs' fans in wishing only the best for Matt and his family during this tough time.

Too Tragic...............

We lost our son in a tragic accident about 7 years ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Bryant family. I wouldn’t wish the loss of a child on my worst enemy. The Bucs are one of my favorite teams after the Broncos so I kind of keep up with you all over here. This post kind of hit home and I felt the need to express my condolences. I wish you all well and will be lifting the Bryant’s up in prayer this week.

The player who thinks he can and the player who knows he can are two different players, which one are you???

i typically

avoid stories like this because its a reality i try not to acknowledge (because i’m a wuss like that) and so my thoughts and prayers are with Bryant’s family… Thanks to all of you for speaking out…

Incredibly sad

I don’t know Matt Bryant, but I do know that he’s always seemed like a great guy. There’s nothing in life more tragic than losing a loved one, and so our thoughts at The Falcoholic are with him and you guys during a rough time.

Matt, Melissa and Family

Our thoughts, hearts and prayers go out to all of Matt’s and Melissa’s friends and family during this difficult time. It is great to see Matt still on the field for the game…and that he is doing so well. There is a very special Angel watching over the whole family. God is blessing this family!!!! And we am very grateful for all the work they do in the community and what they offer for other children. YOU all make a difference always remember that…

God Bless – Missy, Dino and Paul
