Bryan Daniel Hall

Obituary

Bryan Daniel Hall, 32, of Richmond, Virginia, passed away on July 17, 2025.

Born in Richmond on February 22, 1993, Bryan was a son, husband, father, brother, and friend. He graduated from Tucker High School, where he participated in ROTC, briefly attended community college, and then went on to serve his country in the United States Army, where he was stationed in South Korea. While in Korea, Bryan met his wife, Mingi, and they later married before beginning their life together in the United States. After his military service, Bryan became a devoted stay-at-home dad, a role he treasured above all else.

Bryan is survived by his wife, Mingi, and their son, Baeko. He is also survived by his mother, Juanita Branson, and stepfather, Michael Branson; his grandmother, Virginia Coleman; his grandfather, George Hoover, his brothers: John Gross (wife Caryn, children Lily, Gabby, and Olivia), Tony Gross (wife Danielle), Trey Ware (wife Andrea, children Piper and Brody), and Matt Lodge (son George); and by many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Ronnie Hall, and stepmother, Nancy Hall.

Bryan loved video games and especially enjoyed online gaming with his brothers and friends. He had a wonderful sense of humor that brought joy to those around him. At one point, he aspired to be a veterinary technician, and throughout his life he cared for a menagerie of pets—including dogs, cats, and even chickens. He was caring and thoughtful, always making time to play with his nieces and nephews. In his younger years, he often volunteered in the kitchen at church alongside his grandmother, Virginia, showing both his love for family and his willingness to lend a hand wherever it was needed.

Bryan will be remembered for his quiet strength, his devotion to family, and the love he poured into being a husband, father, son, and brother. His legacy lives on through his son and the many lives he touched with kindness and laughter.
A service to honor Bryan’s life will be held at Mount Vernon Baptist Church Mausoleum Chapel, 11220 Nuckols Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23059, on Friday, September 26, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Following the service, all are invited to a time of fellowship at the main church in the Second Floor Worship Center.

Bryan was taken too soon. He will be deeply missed, but remembered forever by those who loved him.

Bryan was always such a happy go lucky kind of guy with an undoubtedly big heart. i grew up and went to school with Bryan and he was always a good friend to me. i remember we skipped school once instead of going to our tech center we got in my car and i drove to wawa in midlothian or chester (it was about a 30 min ride out). i dont remember what exactly we talked about or the music we played but i remember it was a fun time just hanging out. and we always joked about that day, cruising to a gas station so far away just to be out of school. so to my friend who i know is in paradise now, rest easy until we meet again.

I remember Bryan from Tuckahoe Elementary School. He was always so silly and fun to be around! My condolences go out to all of his close friends and family! May she rest peacefully in paradise!

My fondest memory was at football practice at Tucker. Out on the grassy lot, I remember peering in your direction only to see you daydreaming and staring up at the light blue sky.
Only to be followed by a scream from Coach King, "HALL!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?".

Always seemed like a kind hearted person. May you rest in peace.

I met Bryan when I was 11 years old in middle school. He was my first love. I remember holding hands with him in the movie theater while we watched “The Polar Express” for extra credit. I remember walking down the hallway at school wearing his sweatshirt and meeting up at his locker for hugs in-between classes. Throughout the rest of middle school and high school, we’d have arguments and stop talking for a bit, but something always drew us back to each other. Senior year of high school, he started coming to my church. I watched him get baptized. He quickly became one of my favorite people - one of my best friends. We’d drive around in his jeep and scream sing down Broad street, sometimes with sweet Shadow in the backseat. He could ALWAYS make me laugh, with that big cheesy grin of his. He loved picking on me, but I knew he was always there for me. He truly had the biggest heart.
As adults, we’d check on each other every so often. I was so, so excited to see him become a husband and father - something I knew he’d always wanted. Towards the end, our messages were mostly “hope all is well” messages. I wish we’d said more. I wish our families had met. I wish we’d had more time, but I’ll always be thankful to have known Bryan. I’ll never forget him. I look forward to the day that I see him again in Heaven and can give him a long, overdue hug.

My uncle Bryan was a cool guy. He was only about 7.5 years older than me, so when I was growing up it always felt odd that he was my uncle, but it didn't stop us from bonding. Some of my fondest memories of Bryan and I are from playing games together. I'm going to miss him a lot. I already do.

Bryan was a fundamental part of my childhood & young adult years. In our preteen era, he was as equally hilarious as he was annoying. My mom kept him after school for years & during that time we bonded over snow days, SpongeBob, riding bikes, making forts in the woods, Pokémon & Mortal Kombat. I thoroughly enjoyed reminding him I was exactly 2 days older every year around our birthdays.
As we grew older, I decided - while he was still hilarious, he was no longer annoying. He was smart & kind & thoughtful. He lived to make people happy… and wow, his smile & laugh were truly contagious.
Even in times of uncertainty, Bryan was a warm presence of support & comfort.

We lost close contact once he joined the Army, but we did our best to stay present in each other’s life through social media. I was so proud of him for becoming a husband & dad because I knew he’d thrive in that life. I find peace in knowing he got to experience that, even for a short time…

A piece of my heart will always hold the best memories of him.

To his family - I’m so sorry. I know this loss is unimaginable. You all have my deepest & most sincere condolences ❤️
