Bryan Paul Mottlow passed away suddenly on Aug. 6, 2011 at the age of 38.
Born in Grass Valley, Nev., Bryan grew up in Lake County, and spent time in Ft. Bragg and Marysville.
Bryan leaves behind his family: wife, Ronda Mottlow of Spring Valley; mother, Winona Sue Rucker of Marysville; father, Richard Paul Mottlow of Ft. Bragg; children, Kelly Crawford and Ashley Rose Crawford of Spring Valley; stepfather, Randall L. Rucker of Marysville; sisters, Jessica Lynn André, Macála Anne Mottlow, Taana Rucker and Amber Semke; brothers, Jacob Paul Mottlow and Luke Boncore; and grandparents, Sam and Audrey Mottlow.
Bryan will be remembered for his truly magnetic personality. He had an incredibly loving smile, with a little mischief hidden beneath. He naturally drew a crowd and he always made those around him happy.
He loved helping others, cooking, gardening and spending time on his motorcycle, and his father was his riding partner.
He was an exceptional father to his children and a beloved family member and friend. He will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
Services for Bryan will be held in Spring Valley at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, 2011, at the Spring Valley Community Center 3000 Wolf Creek Road, Clearlake Oaks.
Jones & Lewis Clear Lake Memorial Chapel, Lower Lake, is handling the arrangements.
