Bryan Emmons

Bryan Antony (Rodgers) Emmons, 43, died unexpectedly and tragically at 6:44 a.m. on Sunday, November 26, 2017, after being attacked in his home in Payne Springs.

Bryan was born May 30, 1974, in Dallas, Texas, and was adopted the next day by Jeff Emmons. Bryan worked in construction and was very good with his hands – only losing half an index finger to a table saw. He was a simple man and a rebel, and he lived life to its fullest. Bryan loved to sing and was an amazing singer. He was loving, generous, and would give you the shirt off his back. Bryan will be missed by all who knew and loved him, and if you knew him, you loved him.

Survivors include son, Brandon Davis, daughter, Emma Allen, brothers Michael Smith and Mario Hernandez, sisters Rebecca Neuhaeuser, Caron Scarborough Davis, Connie Emmons St. John, Brenda Emmons Burns, Jennifer Emmons Johnson, and Heather Emmons, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his daddy, Jeff Emmons, biological mother, Kathleen Sims, grandparents, Buddy and Marie  Davlin Moore, aunt, Jeanette Rodgers, and uncle, Billy Dutton.

The family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Thursday, November 30, at Moorhead-Epps Funeral Home, 750 E. Main St., Gun Barrel City.

Services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, November 30.

Bro. Dewain Mixon will officiate, and burial will be at Eubank Cedar Creek Cemetery.
