Bryan N. Sanderson, 55

TILTON — It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Bryan Nelson Sanderson, 55, of Tilton. The beloved husband, devoted father, loving son, brother, uncle, and dear friend to all, passed away on Nov. 5, 2025, at his home.

Bryan was born in Laconia, on Feb. 18, 1970, and was raised in Meredith. He graduated from Inter-Lakes High School in 1988, and the University of Maine in 1993, with a bachelor of science degree in landscape horticulture. He began his career in landscape and irrigation in 1993, and has since worked to become a talented and valued asset in his industry. He brought his years of landscape, irrigation, and lighting expertise to his latest position working at Hunter Industries as an area sales manager. With reach throughout the United States and passion for his work, he was able to gain the respect of all with every interaction. Through his career he was able to enjoy the company and camaraderie of his coworkers and create lasting friendships.

Bryan was a strong, dedicated, and caring man who was taken from us too early, but lived a life defined by hard work, caring for his family, and helping others. He cherished spending quality time with his family and friends and demonstrated that by always showing up for those he cared about. He will be remembered for his kind heart, gentle soul, big smile, and contagious laugh.

An excellent cook, Bryan was happiest when cooking for holidays, cookouts, and family meals. He was an avid New England sports fan, and was always listening to WEEI Sports Radio whenever he could. A love for Lake Winnipesaukee began for him in his childhood at his family's camp on Little Bear Island. When he had the chance, from that time on, you could find him at the lake enjoying time with those he loved. The joy, wit, and compassion that he brought to everything he did sparked happiness in all of those around him.

Bryan was a devoted husband and father and is survived by his wife Doreen; his son, Austin; his daughter, Mallory; his parents, Bruce and Barbara; his brothers, Bruce and wife Wendy, Scott and wife Alisa, and Craig and wife Lori; his nieces and nephews, and many extended family members and friends.

Calling hours will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, at Mayhew Funeral Home, 204 Daniel Webster Hwy, Meredith, with a celebration of life service from 5:30 to 6 p.m., followed by a reception at Laconia Country Club.

All who knew and loved him are warmly invited to honor his remarkable life.
