Bryan Yukio Uyeda

August 30, 1934 - January 1, 2026

Bryan Yukio Uyeda, a beloved brother, uncle, and friend to many, passed away on January 1, 2026, at the age of 91.

Bryan was born in Seattle, WA, to Tadao and Lilly Uyeda. His youth was spent attending Leschi Grade School, Washington Jr. High School and Garfield High School. Bryan joined the United States Air Force in February 1954 and was stationed at Lackland Air Base in Texas. He was later relocated to Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, WA, and completed his military service in October 1957. He began working for Boeing in 1958 and stayed there several years before moving to San Jose, CA, where he took a job with Lockheed Missiles and Space Company in Sunnyvale, CA. He was later employed by Memorex in Santa Clara, CA, where he worked for many years. His friendly, outgoing personality led him to meet many new friends in the San Jose area. Not only would this be his favorite place, but these new friendships would become lifelong. Bryan later returned to Seattle in 1978 and worked for Boeing once again before retiring.

Bowling was Bryan's greatest passion. He enjoyed traveling to bowling tournaments with his bowling buddies, and over the years, he managed to collect fifteen bowling balls along with winning many trophies, which were proudly displayed on his fireplace mantel. One of his favorite trophies was over three feet tall.

Bryan is survived by his sisters, Grace Uyeda, JoAnn Yamamoto, Evie Hall (Pat), and younger brother Deane (Barbara).

Bryan's final wish was to be interned at the Tahoma National Cemetery in Covington, WA.

A private memorial service will be held for the family on a future date.

To honor Bryan's memory, a donation to Fred Hutch Cancer Center or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
