Bryan Wayne Ellis, age 24, a resident of Los Lunas, New Mexico, passed away on December 10, 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bryan was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico to Clint and Gail Ellis on May 20, 1991. Bryan graduated from Los Lunas High School. Throughout Bryan’s life he touched the lives of so many people with his endearing quality of spirit and personality. Bryan was known to many throughout the community beyond his family, teachers, classmates, therapists, doctors, nurses, to name a few. It could be said of Bryan that he never met a stranger, for those he already knew, the bonds remained, and for those newly entering his life, it took mere heartbeats for a bond to establish. Bryan was an exceptionally kind and resilient young man. Bryan thoroughly enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting and merely being in nature with family and friends. Bryan had a strong penchant for collecting keys, wallets, key-chains, and cell phones. Music was particularly important to Bryan, and he could often be found listening to many types of music, but predominantly country music. Bryan is preceded in death by his grandparents, Clinton Sr. and Mercedes Ellis on his father’s side, his grandparents, Carmon and Kathleen Gore on his mother’s side, his sister, Cheryl Rawlins, his uncles, Wayne Gore and Tommy Ellis; and his cousin, Lee Tafoya.
