Meet the Live Like Bryant Board
  • Live Like Bryant Board Member - Laura McDermott

    Laura McDermott

    In July of 2008, Laura and Brick welcomed Bryant, weeks earlier than expected, and Laura launched into motherhood with dedication and tenacity.  Bryant’s brother and biggest admirer, Simmons, was welcomed two years later. Her dedication shows in many ways through countless hours volunteering at her boy’s schools, making treats for their coaches and teachers to show them extra love and organizing front yard football for the neighborhood.

     

    Laura's first priority has always been her boys.  She is eager to create a foundation to help others know and love Bryant and to continue to remember the impact he made.  She wants people to know that Bryant lived everyday to the fullest with laughter and a smile.  She looks forward to continuing his legacy and helping others “Live Like Bryant”!

    Brick McDermott

    As a very proud father, you will often see Brick on the football field or basketball court watching his sons compete, or at different Catholic School events.

     

    Regardless of whether it was sunny or rainy, hot, or cold, hard, or easy, Bryant lived each day to its absolute fullest. Bryant’s zest for life, laugh, kindness, heart, & constant optimism were unique and unmatched. He was often the “glue” that continues to bring friends, classmates, teammates, teachers, coaches, competitors, and family members together. Live Like Bryant, as even though his time on earth was cut way too short, the way he embraced life equals that of many lifetimes stacked on top of each other. Bryant’s Legacy will be forever, and Brick is lucky and humbled to be able to call Bryant his son.
