In Memory of Gracie McBryant

On the morning of October 1st, the McBryant Family suffered an unimaginable loss. Their daughter, Gracie McBryant, passed away in a tragic camper fire at the family residence.

Gracie, only 14 years old, was a freshman at West Ridge High School in Sullivan County, TN. She was a valued clarinet player in the West Ridge Marching Band and was loved by all who knew her. Her band family, all 170 members, are absolutely devastated over the loss of Gracie. The band had performed together the evening before… and never expected to wake up to such heartbreak.

Gracie’s parents (Jennifer and Joey McBryant) and her 4 siblings (Jessi, Drew, Sophie and London) are completely broken over this tragedy. Gracie loved her family so very much, as well as her friends, band mates and teachers. She also leaves behind her precious dog (Willow) that she absolutely adored.

In honor of Gracie McBryant, the West Ridge High School Band Boosters are accepting donations for the McBryant family to help ease some of the financial burden during this impossible time. It’s our hope that our community and surrounding areas in Northeast Tennessee will come together to help this wonderful family in their time of need.

Please keep this family in your thoughts as they embark this tough journey. If you feel led to help financially, that would be greatly appreciated. No donation is too much or too little. We will be accepting donations through OCTOBER 19, 2022.

Many thanks and blessings to you and yours…
