Spc. Brynn J. Naylor
21
Roswell
| Brynn J. Naylor's life was the man they referred as a "gentle giant," who genuinely cared for all people and always made time for loved ones. "It's amazing how much life he packed into those 21 years," He was a 2005 high school graduate and was assigned to Fort Carson. "In a quiet, reserved way, he made up his mind to enlist,". Naylor was an easygoing guy who his siblings - two teen sisters and an 11-year-old brother - and younger cousins always followed. "Every time they'd see him, they'd hang on him and stuff, and he'd let them,". "He had the patience to deal with them. " He also is survived by his mother, D'Ann McGuire, and father, Ross Naylor.
