I have not seen Bryce in many years, but I do remember neeting him when I took Melissa to register at MTSU. Melissa and I were a hot mess. We couldn't find anything, and weren't sure what we needed to do to get her settled in. Bryce rode up on a bike and asked "hey, what are ya'll doing?" We explained we were lost, dazed and confused about where we needed to go. Bryce gave us great directions or would say "just follow me." He would go slow on his bike or point and tell us exactly where to go. We would accomplish one task and then quickly reenter the confusion zone. But, guess who would suddenly appear from nowhere and say "hey, what are ya'll doing?", and then proceed to save the day by directing us whereever we needed to go and what we needed to do. That went on all day long. I wondered "Is this coincedence or just good fate?" This kid is great! It was as if we had our own campus/registration guide. He was precious, funny and smiling all day. I saw him here and there many times after that when Melissa was young, but I will be forever thankful to Bryce Ledbetter for the kindness and patience he showed us that day. It was adorable. I said over and over that week, "I love that kid!" I am so sorry for the loss for all of those that loved him. I know he had so many friends that will dearly miss him. He seemed very special and one of a kind. Rest in peace, Bryce.
