Bryan was born on November 15, 1970 in Lake Charles where he lived all of his life and was a graduate of LaGrange High School.  He began his career in carpentry in cooling towers and later became a project manager for scaffold building for numerous years.

LeBlanc of Lake Charles; siblings, Eleesha LeBlanc of Houston, Trimicka LeBlanc of Houston, Harry J.

LeBlanc; Godchildren, Sydnie Johnson of Lake Charles and Harleigh Coward of Carencro; and a host of nieces and nephews.
