Bryan is survived by many who loved him. Foremost: the love of his life, Pamela (Sheets) Lindsey, to whom he was married on June 30, 2001. Bryan felt as though he had "won the big prize" when meeting Pam, and this year would have marked their silver anniversary. Bryan is survived by his children, Jody (Michael) Riegler and Bryan (Courtney) Lindsey, as well as stepchildren Jeremy (Heather) Buck, Janna (Jason) Hunt, Jennifer (Ryan) Thornburg, Jordy (Brittany) Buck, and Jandra (Connor) Hill. He was also blessed with grandchildren Carson Martin, Aubrey Riegler, Scarlett, Bentlee, and Benji Lindsey, Cora Buck, Drake, Milah, and Halle Hunt, Sydney (Colby) Woodward, Kara (Chase) Johnson, Kaitlynn Joseph, Taven Thornburg, Carter, Cooper, Cayde, and Chandlar Buck, and Theo and Mac Hill and two great-grandchildren, Max and Jordyn Johnson. Also surviving Bryan are his siblings, Stephanie Lindsey, Paige (Kevin) Zempter, and Kyle (Nancy) Lindsey, mother-in-law, Karen Sheets, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Deb and Allen Leiter, and Renae and Kris Sheets. His best furry companions, Pixie and Ruby, were always by his side.
Bryan was preceded in death by his parents, John and Mary Lindsey, sisters, Janine Beery and Leanna Lindsey, brother, John Lindsey Jr., father-in-law, Fred Sheets, and his beloved pet, Pistol.
Bryan was an accomplished and celebrated body technician known for creating several award-winning vehicles and motorcycles. A self-built custom motorcycle of Bryan's was featured in Hot Bike Magazine, and he owned and raced his own car at the Kentucky Speedway. In addition to automotive work, Bryan designed multiple industrial tools for Honda Manufacturing that were patented. His other interests ranged from movies and history programs to passionately following NASCAR and cheering for his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes. He is most known to all those around him for his passion for antiques and their restoration. Bryan and Pam loved to spend their time hunting for unique pieces to add to their collection. Above all, he cherished his wife and children, whom he considered the greatest joys of his life. Bryan will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
