On February 16, 2020, Bryan Lee Lyne Conatser (and don't you forget it) left us.  He was born and raised in King City, before moving to Lockwood in 1998.  He attended King City High School, and graduated with honors in 2000.  After high school he attended Cuesta College, and then transferred to Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo.  He graduated with a B.S. in Fruit Science with a minor in Viticulture in 2005.  He was employed by E. & J. Gallo as Vineyard Manager for the last 15 years.

In 2006 Bryan met the love of his life, Sara Moncrief, and in 2014 they married.

Bryan was a Renaissance man.  He loved hunting, fishing, scuba diving, archery, and nature.  He also enjoyed winemaking and brewing beer.  Dancing, cards, traveling, golf, staying fit, working on his Jeep and Sara's Bronco were other hobbies he enjoyed. He was game for anything new and different.  Bryan was an active member of the Pump House Pedro Group and proud champion of the Termite Shootout.

Bryan is survived by his wife, Sara; parents, Larry and Janice Conatser; brother, Michael Conatser (Cyndee); sister, Megan Conatser McCollough (Aaron); and grandmother, Mildred Conatser; and many other relatives and dear friends too numerous to list , but not to be forgotten. Also left behind are his beloved pets; Stella, Tucker and Ginger.
