Ari Bryant, 20, of Union, Kentucky—formerly of Livermore, California—passed away on October 19, 2025.
Born in Walnut Creek, California, Ari was the beloved daughter of Cheyenne Rama and Jeremy Bryant. From the very beginning, Ari radiated a fierce independence and a deep sense of self. She was a young woman who knew exactly who she was and embraced it with grace and strength.

Ari’s smile could light up a room, and her hugs were legendary—warm, genuine, and always just when you needed them. She had a profound love for the natural world, especially plants, and found a kindred spirit in the Luna moth, whose quiet beauty and transformation mirrored her own.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Dan Rama, and her paternal grandmother, Euvah Bryant.
Ari is survived by her devoted parents, Cheyenne Rama and Jeremy Bryant; her maternal grandmother, Lauren McLachlan; her paternal grandfather, Stephen Bryant; and her cherished sisters, Madeline Rosenbaum, Zillah Rosenbaum and Terra Rosenbaum. She also leaves behind her extended family, Raelee Simmonds, Stephanie Simmonds, David McHenry, Heather Class, and many others.

Ari’s chosen family held a special place in her heart—Sarah and Greg Rosenbaum, who brought her joy and a sense of home. Most of all, she is remembered with deep love by her partner, Hazel Katzman, who stood by her side with unwavering support and affection.

Ari’s spirit lives on in the lives she touched, the love she gave, and the beauty she saw in the world around her. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, October 26, 2025 from 2-5 pm at Receptions; 1379 Donaldson Hwy, Erlanger, KY 41018.
