Bryson "Bry" Lee Bishop Rasnake

Our hearts are truly broken; our sweet little Bryson “Bry” Lee Bishop Rasnake is now in the arms of Jesus. Bryson closed his little eyes and drew his last breath here on earth on Saturday, October 12, 2024. Bryson was born in Bristol, Tennessee, on January 31, 2022, the son of Shane Rasnake and Santana Nipper. Think of a rainbow, its vibrant colors, and the promise of hope it brings; that was Bryson. He loved the bright colors of life: pinks, purples, and yellows were his favorite. He always wanted to go for a walk, stop, and pick the bright-colored flowers. He brought so much color, brightness, and hope into all our lives. He loves monkeys, monster trucks, cats, dogs, and going fishing. He always wanted to be taken to Stewart Farms to watch the cows in the fields. He was always excited to go to football games, rodeos, and demolition derbies; he would shout, cheer, and jump around with excitement. He was ready to swim, bathe, or walk in the creek if you mentioned water. If you were going to the creek, you better take a fishing pole cause he loved to fish. Bryson was also a flirt; he loved the attention he got from girls and women. He would listen to Shina Twain and play his guitar, and his twin sister would sing. Bry had to be doing whatever his twin sister was doing, and his twin was his mother hen, always taking care of him and keeping him out of trouble. He was sometimes naughty and a little stinker, but his beautiful smile and sparkling eyes melted your heart, so you knew you could not be mad at him for long. He had a favorite person, the one person he bonded with, and his partner in crime, Mama Shelia, whom he always wanted to be with. Oh, how he will be missed; our lives have lost some brightness now that he is not here. A parent's love is more powerful than death, and a family's love is never-ending, so just know, Bryson, that you will forever be loved. Those who remain to carry on his spirit and forever cherish his memory are his family, His parents: Shane Izaac Rasnake and his fiancée Melody Skeens of Honaker, VA Santana Nipper and her fiancée Dakota Bretti of Richlands, VA His twin sister, Isabella Rasnake and Gracelynn Nicole Rasnake of the home His brother, Hunter Edwards of the home.
