Bryson (Brice) Lee Braziel
April 3, 1932 - December 4, 2021

Bryson (Brice) Lee Braziel, 89, of Lincoln, Nebraska, passed away on
December 4, 2021 at Tabitha Journey House. Brice was born on April 3, 1932
in Yoder, Wyoming and spent his youth in Mitchell, Nebraska. The family then
moved to Lincoln, where Brice graduated from Lincoln Northeast High School
in 1951. After graduating, he enlisted in the United States Air Force. After his
honorable discharge, Brice was married to Leona Kazda on August 8, 1954
and completed his courses for graduation from the University of Nebraska-
Lincoln.

Brice worked as a manager for Amscoe Federal Community and then First
Lincoln Federal credit unions and retired after 30 years in the field. In
retirement, he enjoyed traveling the world with Leona to many countries
through the Friendship Force Organization. They also spent several wonderful
winters together in Australia. As an avid cyclist, Brice experienced many
adventures with group bicycle tours throughout Colorado, Wyoming (RAW)
and Nebraska (BRAN), as well as rides across Canada and several European
countries.

Over the years, Brice and Leona made lifelong friends by dedicating their time
and opening their home to provide friendship and support to international
students through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Friends of Foreign
Students Organization.

Those left to cherish Brice's memory are his wife Leona; sons Kenton (Eileen)
of Santa Fe, New Mexico; Blaine (Geri) of Lincoln, Nebraska; daughter April
and her significant other Marc Mueller of Staplehurst, Nebraska;
granddaughter Jena Braziel of Santa Fe, New Mexico; and many nieces and
nephews.

Brice was dearly loved and will be forever missed. Memorial gifts to the
