Bryn Turner Obituary

Bryn Steventon Turner Mt. Pleasant - It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic death of Bryn Steventon Turner, 22, of Mt. Pleasant, SC. Bryn was killed on Thursday July 11, 2019 in Jacksonville Beach, FL. His Memorial Service will be held Thursday, July 18, 2019 in the J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. Mount Pleasant Chapel, 1494 Mathis Ferry Road, at 1:00 pm, followed by a reception. Born in London, England on July 24, 1996 to parents Michael and Ashley Turner, Bryn spent his early years in Northwood, England. When Bryn was three years old, the family moved to Camp Hill, PA, returning to England three years later and settling in Loudwater with his younger brother Owen. In 2004 the family returned to the USA, this time in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Bryn was active in many sports, including cross-country, soccer, tennis, skiing, golf, rugby, and rowing, but discovered a passion for surfing and was often hanging ten up and down the east coast. A senior at Clemson University, Bryn was majoring in genetics with a double minor in philosophy and microbiology with the goal of a career in medicine. During his time at Clemson, Bryn secured an exchange placement at Queen Mary University of London, where he rowed for the college rowing team. Bryn loved to travel and during his short life he managed to visit many countries around the world. England remained his firm favourite, in particular, his love for the history and culture that London offered. He had a genuine love for life and a great future ahead of him. It is just so unbelievably sad and unfair that he was taken from us at such a young age. We so desperately miss our beautiful boy. Bryn is survived by parents Michael and Ashley, beloved younger brother Owen, and grandparents Blaine and Pauline Turner and Ron Gilbert, together with extended family in both the USA and England and many, many friends around the world. He was preceded in death by grandparents John and Zena Powell. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Bryn's GoFundMe account for charitable organizations close to his heart: https://www.gofundme.com/bryn-turner-memorial-fund.

Bryn was my brother's roommate in Jacksonville Beach, FL. From the first time meeting him, I understood right away why Grayson would never stop talking about Bryn. He had such a positive impact on Grayson's life; nonetheless, everyone he surrounded himself with. Bryn was always the funniest, sweetest, and most charismatic guy in the room. I will always keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. He was taken from this life way too soon. I hope to carry on his legacy every day by being someone who is always positive, free-spirited, and never takes a day in this life for granted. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My heart breaks for your family, but Bryn will never be forgotten. He lives on in the hearts of the many people whose lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am so heartbroken to hear of the loss of Bryn. I was so impressed by him as a student in my microbiology class that I asked him to serve as an undergraduate teaching assistant in the microbiology labs for three semesters. He was a great teacher and role model. We all loved his contagious enthusiasm and upbeat personality. Bryn would light up any room he entered and was extremely humble and kind. An exceptional student and an exceptional human being! He will be dearly missed by so many. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

I did not know Bryn but my son knew him briefly and spent time with him days prior to his passing, with of course only wonderful things to say about him.
My heart is simply broken for your loss. I have been praying every day for your family, that you find peace and calm in Christ's presence through this excruciating hardship. God Bless you all today and for the rest of your days, until you all join one another again in heaven.

Dear Turner Family,
Our hearts ache with yours and we weep with you. Bryn was a big, bright, and expansive light to all that were blessed to know him. He inspired so many with his passion for life. That passion would light up a room just with his presence.

I loved Bryn as a son and I imagine him looking me in the eye and hear his voice saying, Hi Mr. Curtis over and over again and imagine the hug that always followed. Brent and Bryn were two peas in a pod from the moment they met, and Bryn always had love and friendship for Liam. I remember, as little guys, Bryn, Brent, Owen and Liam spent many nights playing airsoft, although many times, preparing for the game would take longer than the game itself There were so many wonderful moments that they can't all be captured here, so we will have to hold them in our hearts and cherish them.

Angela remembers the last time she spent with Bryn sitting at the starting line at Roebling Road Raceway as he told her about London, college, and his studies. His happiness and smile lighting up her afternoon like sunshine. She will always cherish the short time she was able to share with him. His spirit and smile will continue to light up our lives.

As parents you provided Bryn a wonderful life. Most importantly you gave him unconditional love. He saw and did more things than many adults, you helped him develop the courage to chase his dreams and to strive to achieve challenging goals. Angela and I are sending infinite love to you so that you may be surrounded and enveloped with abundant peace. We love you!
Love, Don and Angela

I am so sorry for your loss. I was Bryn's TA for a genetics lab at Clemson and he was one of my favorite students. He always knew how to make us laugh in a serious moment. His smile was contagious. Bryn- Rest easy and thank you for making teaching enjoyable. You will be missed by the entire Clemson community.

The photo here does Bryn justice: his smile is front and center, he beams happiness. A loss, and there are not words adequate. I loved how Bryn cared for his brother, I loved his easy smile, I loved how he was so easy to get along with. My deepest sympathies to his family.

A wonderful and gifted young man that was taken too soon. His amazing positive energy and spirit could lighten the entire world. But make no mistake, his life was not cut short in vain and his energy has now passed forward. His amazing energy will continue to glow in so many different ways for eternity. God Bless and watch over Bryn and his entire family and all those who knew and loved him.
