My Friend Died Doing Something I Do Everyday (Story Time) 

The work Ryan did saved many lives bud. Remember him for the absolute legend he was and how he impacted so many people’s lives. 💔

Rip Ryan 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I understand your grieving process and I hope you are doing better nowadays

I remember when this happened. Sorry for your loss, must have been tough to go through all this again in the video, but nicely done. That was a great tribute.

You have a precious heart Bryce, love how you honoured him. Love how you so vulnerable and real. Incredibly proud of you

Ryan was a true hero. His devotion and work saved many many lives. Rest in peace, Ryan.

You have a good heart Bryce. So sorry for your loss but you will see him again someday, far in the future. Just keep the good memories alive. Take care.

This video was so touching I subbed to your channel. Hope to see much happier content, but remember your friend, he has helped to get you to where you are now, so this tribute to him was worth every bit of effort, and every single tear you shed.

Grief never gets easier, remember Ryan for the legacy and work he done for South Africa ❤️

Sorry for your loss🙏 R.I.P Ryan 🇦🇲❤️

I’m am truly sorry for your loss. Ryan was a true hero and died doing something he loved. I can’t even imagine what you’re having to deal with. Prayers

What a wonderful tribute from a incredible young Man. Rest In Peace Ryan

I was looking for something else when I stumbled across this video and decided to watch it. Thank you so much for sharing this story and I'm so sorry for the loss of Ryan. He gave his life to save many others. God Bless and I hope you're well in your life.

Can't believe its been two years already .:( ...He was such a Legend . Thanks for sharing as well . Always here if you need to chat bud .

RIP. He passed away far too early but he died for a cause and doing what he loved.

Im so sorry Bryce hun. Here to chat if you need. Sending big soft hugs ❤❤❤❤

I’m so sorry for your loss, be strong, be the best snake handler, in memory of an incredibly generous soul... god bless.. big hug kiddo... ❤️👉🏻🇨🇦☮️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I lost my son unexpectedly at age 29 just a few months before his 30th birthday due to kidney disease and diabetes. I completely understand the emotions that you speak about. It is very hard to lose a special friend, relative, child, or someone you love. Sending hugs your way. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss! You are such a brave man yourself fighting your illness and it must have incredibly hard to lose such a good friend at the same time. Full respect!

Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share this with us. Coping with loss is difficult and different for each individual. I know this couldn't have been easy for you. I lost my Murphy, the leopard gecko I told you about. I've tried a couple times to do a video since (she continued her journey a month ago), and I lose it everytime I start. Your friend was a hero and an incredible being. I am so sorry you had to endure this loss. The two comforting knowledge nuggets I carry with me: 1. We will one day be reunited with all we love and hold dear, 2. Those that departed are at peace- it is we who must suffer in this realm until we reunite. Sending my love and prayer ❤

Bryce, this is such a moving tribute to your friend. This literally moved me to tears and has really made me wake up to the unexpected/unknown dangers of venomous wildlife and realise its time for my partner and I to do our venomous snake handling and first aid qualifications. have been developing more and severe reactions to scorpions and myrmecia over the last 2 years. this video goes to show how suddenly a life threatening reaction can develop. Losing a friend is so rough but losing a close friend who shares your passion is an absolutely devastating real life nightmare. Seeing the contrast in your emotion between when you were spending time together and now really broke my heart. I have tears streaming down my face and honestly don't be afraid to cry in front of people or on camera. it's normal and its healthy to let it out. you'll be stuck on my mind all night. I'm glad it didn't kill your passion. I'd love to see you advocate people having an epipen in every home with or without people who have know severe allergies because this is such a perfect example of someone finding out about an allergy in the worst possible scenario as well as the devastation that occurs when I life is suddenly cut short. I'm really really sorry this happened. you will get through it though and my thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone he touched as much as he did you. chin up buddy keep on herping and continue your friends work xox

Dude - This was a truly heartfelt video, and a great dedication to an exceptional individual. He'd be very proud of this, and what you do.

I realize this is an older video, but still wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. It sounds like the world lost a really good dude. I know he had a wonderful friend in you. Your heart really comes through in this tribute. Carry what he taught you, and he will never really be gone. All the Best to you Bryce.

Hey Bryce you are very aspiring, inspirational and awesome for sharing your videos. I know it's not easy losing someone close to you. However, there is more to lift than meets the eye and you are doing the right thing by carrying on your love for righteous reptiles. Sorry for your loss but always remain strong:}

Im sorry for your loss 😔 , it’s so sad to lose a venomous

I want to say I’m so sorry for ur loss. He had saved so many lives with the work he done. He gave his life for others and not just that he lost his life to something he loved. Some of our hobbies are dangerous but then again, u can walk down the street and get shot or hit by a car whatever. When the Lord calls u home, it’s time. Even tho it is heartbreaking for us. I’m allergic to the swallowtail Caterpillar. So I’m terrified of any caterpillars. But love the outdoors and live at the river fishing with my sons. It won’t stop me from living my life and doing well I love even though I know it is a risk. Again I’m very sorry for ur loss. He was hero.

Thank you for such a moving video, the love and respect you have shines through, so sorry for your loss!

He seems like he was a great guy! I could watch him for hours on end! Enjoyed all of the different collabs he did. I always wished he would make his own RU-vid! Super remarkable human that did great things. He seemed to be a great friend too! And a great sense of humor! The world lost a good one. Stay strong Bryce!

Amazing how fast time flies and precious life is! Glad you are still doing what you love inspite of losing an awesome friend to a bite/anafalaxis. I myself do to my extreme allergies can't handle venomous. Even a Hognose reacts like a bee sting to me. Makes me blow up like a balloon and need immediate medical care. Most don't know Hognose can do that to anyone allergic to bees. People need more awareness to anafalaxis is what's truly deadly. I love the Hognose that most assume is the perfect pet snake for beginners. But with any type of allergy that snake even becomes deadly fast. It's mind blowing. RIP Ryan. It's been years but a Legend truly remembered. Excellently done video! 👊 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm SO.... so sorry for the loss of your Bro' My Dude. :^(

It just shows the incredible danger that these brave men go through to provide us with antivenom that has saved thousands of lives worldwide

Hang in there I no it's hard but ur friend is looking down on u be praying for u

Death is a gift, when it happens to young people it doesn’t serve it’s true purpose and becomes a tragedy, but the fact he died while doing what he loved most, he became one with the snake, and this is poetic.

He's in a better place now...❤ RIP✝️

This was very heartbreaking about your friend, am sorry for your loss 🙏🏽. Ryan was a true legend and he impacted so many lives. I have watched videos and read many articles about these deadly Snakes, it is so scary and dangerous, please be safe and careful at all times. My sincere condolences to you and your family 🙏🏽💔.

I'm so sorry sweetie. I can honestly say "I know exactly how you feel." My best friend of 34 years suddenly passed away.... My entire life has changed. No more girls weekends, no more "day drinking" days, no more daily phone calls........ AND SOOOOO MUCH MORE. I'm just so sorry for your loss. I wish I could give you a big hug.... but just keep doing what you do! HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU!

sorry for your loss, he seemed like a real good person. you were blessed to have had him. keep his memory alive please

Wow.. keep going Ryan would be so happy with what you're doing remember him laugh with him in your head keep your heart high he's with you

His legacy will live on mate

😔😔😔🤧🤧🤧💔💔💔 sending you love dude

I'm so very sorry for your loss, its sounds like he was a wonderful human to be around. If I may ask, and forgive me if I'm to straight forward, were you by chance inlove with him? You just have so much passion behind your voice when you speak of him. And again, please forgive me if I'm to damn honest or straight forward ?🤦🏼‍♀️

Sjoe you share so beautifully

God Bless him, he meant well, but dancing with the devil doesn't always end well...I HATE THAT HE'S GONE TOO.... 😭😭😭😭😭 Be incredibly vigilant Bryce, I am a test pilot for new airplanes...they will bite you too... 🤗🤗🤗

I’ll never forget where I was when I found out my best friend had been murdered. We were 19.

I am so sorry for your loss... If I may ask, how many times did he get exposed to the Black Mamba venom before? Had he been bitten before?

I know I’m late, but this is very upsetting for ME, let alone you! He seemed like a great guy! Much love Bryce

The way that green snake came out of that barrel was scary

Sorry for your loss.USA

Anyone one who chooses to work with deadly analysts use expect to die Sorry for Ryan and your.loss

Be really careful them Black Mamba snakes are nothing to fool with what makes them so dangerous is their so quick and you don’t have time to react if they bite you.

And i now how that is! I lose many friends and it sucks! Every time its sucks...

i wonder why they took him off life support ? maybe he would have survived that if they would have waited a little while for him to recover ?so sorry for your loss

Condolences 😢

so sry bro

Sorry you lost a friend. The best die young, that’s all I will say. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know.

I cant believe its been that long already

That is that what every from use can happens...every day Good luck

Thats sad 😥

Hey, brother have a few questions for you. What is a good way to get into contact with you?

Sorry about ur friend

Why do you have so ads??

😢

May the Force be with you ......

Kinda hard to take this seriously when you've put ad breaks in the video. Nothing says I miss my friend like making money off telling his death story.

Being a venomous handler myself for over 30+ years it's never "IF" you get bit/ invvenomation its when you are and only then can you pray to god ur in a location / position to quickly and effectively make it to treatment for whatever species you're invenomated by fortunately with all my years keeping breeding and handling a multitude of venomous species ranging from cobras vipers and even Gilas I've only taken one bite from a captive born and bred by myself eastern x western hybrid rattlesnake fortunately I responded to the invenomation extremely well not even receiving antivenom now it was on my thumb and was horribly painful and swelled to a enormous size all th he way to my shoulder but just short of them having to cut me anywhere to relieve ef pressure thank god so all in all I was just very lucky if that's what u want 5o call lucky. Lol

It’s so sad a tragic loss don’t thing I wish is I could subscribe to this kid that’s in the video I can’t remember the name of his channel the kid with the blonde hair

Did he die on live stream

🥀💔

For the views.

While the circumstances are vastly different, I can relate to the disbelief and utter confusion of losing someone close to you. My late boyfriend died on a weekend getaway with some friends and I expected him to just message me on Yahoo saying 'Lol, I died!' Even though it'd have been impossible for him to do for obvious reasons. My heart goes out to you, the grief is still so fresh in your features. I won't give you empty platitudes but I will light a candle for your friend.

my condolences
