Bryce Mohan 1975 - 2009

By
Industry Observer

Members who were active in the Photography Group back in the early days will remember Bryce. 

Bryce also created the Photography, Advanced group here on AR.

Bryce's wife Kirsten posted on his facebook profile yesterday that Bryce had passed away.  He was only 34.

"On October 25th, Bryce lost his on-going battle with depression. While he seemed fine and much improved lately, we will never know what ultimately caused us to lose such an amazing human being, husband, and father so early in life.

There will be a memorial this week and we will update you all from here. It will likely take place at SPACEbin Greenwood towards the end of the week, but we"ll keep this up to date.

To those of you who've asked what you can do - there will be a bryce mohan memorial fund set up tomorrow at Bank of America. Please donate to this in lieu of flowers to help his stuggling family maintain his legacy and bid him the farewell such a beautiful being deserved.

love to you all...

kirsten"

Bryce was an incredibily talented photographer, and an endearing personality.  I am beyond stunned.

I will be praying for Bryce's family. I did not know Bryce personally, but just now I took a look at his beautiful photography.  Simply gorgeous pictures.  Thanks to Jeani, too, for the reminder how important it is to give a kind word.

This is such sad news. I had learned so much from Bryce and was a huge fan. I remember some time last year, he had written a post where he mentioned my name and referenced a post of mine. I was never so honored.

My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Thank you, Cheryl, for letting us know.

I remember him.  I can't believe this.  I am only 38 myself.  I lost my wife when she was 34, like Bryce.  That is way, way too young.  Horrible and I am so sad about this.

Thank you for sharing the update. Depression is never easy to deal with and there is so much more that we need to learn about it.  Bryce you will be missed!

Very sad.  I never knew of him but after seeing some of the photos it appears a light has gone out in the world.

I also didn't follow Bryce's blog but do want to express my sincere condolances to the family.

He was way toooooo young and had so much talent for this disease to take him from us and his family.

From a similar incident that occurred in my husbands family I know everyone will be looking for impossible answers as to why.

Again, sincere condolances to family and friends.

This is so sad.  I knew that Bryce was one of the best real estate photographers in the country but I didn't know he had a wife and kids.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Sending love, light, thoughts, and prayers to Bryce's family and friends. This is twice in one week the subject has come up. Glenn Close wrote a great piece on Huffington Post about mental illness - and depression specifically. So many are affected - but as a culture, we still manage to sweep it under the carpet. Blessings to all who are dealing with this disease.

So sad - it just goes to show you "now" is always the time to let someone know you care. Not everyone of us has another day. I will be praying for the family.

This is just so sad to hear. I definitely appreciated his work and will continue to do so. I hope the best for his family. It can't ever be easy to lose someone that you are close to, whether they be old or young.
