JOHN WILLIAM BRYDEN
November 25, 1980 ~ March 7, 2026

John Wm Bryden, age 45, passed away March 7th. Born in Highland Park, Il. John and his family moved to Washougal when he was 11 years old where he grew into the intelligent, curious and kind-hearted man so many cherished. He had a natural gift for understanding and building with computers, spending countless hours creating, learning and researching anything that sparked his interest. His sharp mind and passion for knowledge were part of what made him so unique. John received an associates degree in Computer Science at Heald College and was continuing his education at WSU.
John had a deep love for music and found joy in life’s simple, meaningful moments–especially time spent at the beach and camping under the stars. He also had a special bond with his beloved dog, Vienna, who brought him constant companionship and happiness.
John is survived by his mother Linda, his sister, Bethanie and his brother, Justin. John will be remembered for his intelligence, laughter and gentle strength. Although his time here was far too short, the love he gave and the impact he made will never be forgotten. He is deeply missed and forever loved.
