Bryce William Kenderes
05/21/1984 - 10/15/2026
Bryce William Kenderes, 42, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on October 15, 2026.
Bryce was a loving and generous man whose extraordinary wit and effortless sense of humor were truly unforgettable. He had a remarkable gift for finding humor in almost any situation, often delivering the perfect observation or unexpected remark with impeccable timing. His quick mind and clever humor could catch you completely off guard and leave you laughing long afterward. Highly intelligent and a natural problem solver, Bryce had an equally remarkable ability to figure things out. His sharp mind, generous heart, and one-of-a-kind personality made him someone you simply couldn't forget.
Bryce worked for Humana Military Health, where he put his intelligence and problem-solving skills to work designing improvements to the company's mobile app. His ability to recognize opportunities for improvement and develop creative solutions was one of his many talents.
Bryce's generosity extended far beyond his family and friends. While he delighted in giving gifts to those he loved, he was equally passionate about helping others. He generously supported numerous charitable organizations and volunteered his time as a guide at camps for children with cancer. His willingness to give, whether through financial support or personal involvement, reflected his caring heart.
Bryce treasured time spent with family and friends and enjoyed trying new things and discovering new experiences. Hawaii held a special place in his heart, and he was fortunate to visit the islands several times. He enjoyed television, movies, and shopping—especially Temu, where he loved discovering his next interesting find. But among the things Bryce loved most was the family's beloved Corgi, Sally, who held a very special place in his heart.
Bryce is survived by his loving parents, Mark and Irene Kenderes; his brother, Stuart Kenderes, and his wife, Elizabeth (Gammel) Kenderes; his uncles George Kenderes and Brian Johnson; his Aunt Joyce and Uncle Gary Kenderes; his Aunt Sandy and Uncle Eddie Dudzic; and his Aunt Kathy and Uncle Raymond Kisonas. He is also survived by cousins Trey, Meris, Ryan (Jessica), Nick (Nicole), Lindsay (John) & Laura and their families, along with extended family members and friends who will cherish his memory.
Preceded in death maternal grandparents, Adolfus & Julia Kisonas and paternal grandparents, George & Charlotte Kenderes.
A celebration of Bryce's life will be held at a later date, bringing family and friends together to share memories, laughter, and the love they have for him. Details will be announced once arrangements have been finalized.
Bryce will be remembered for his generous heart, his brilliant mind, his effortless humor, and the love he shared so freely.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

I’ve been trying to find the right words since learning that Bryce passed away. I’m not sure there are any that will quite do him justice.
There was a time in my life when I had literally nothing. I had Arya, a few belongings, and no real idea of what I was going to do next. Bryce took us in. Both of us. He opened his home to me and my dog when I had nowhere else to go, when my life was a mess, and when I didn’t have much of anything to offer in return.
I don’t think I ever properly thanked him for that.
When you’re at that point in your life, you find out pretty quickly who is willing to make room for you. Bryce did. And I don’t mean that in some abstract, sentimental way. He gave us an actual roof over our heads. A place where Arya could sleep, where I could put down what little I had, and where I could begin figuring out how to put my life back together.
That’s something I carried with me long after we went our separate ways.
Over the years, I’ve written quite a bit, and Bryce became part of that, too. A character named Damon in one of my novels, Liminal 18:17, owes something of his existence to Bryce. It’s strange to think about now. Someone can become so woven into your memories that, without quite intending to, you end up putting a piece of them on paper. I wish I could tell him that now. I wish I knew what he would have thought of it.
We weren’t perfect people, and life wasn’t always simple. There are things I remember with a smile, others I wish I could revisit, and conversations I would give a great deal to have one more time. But when I think of Bryce, I will always come back to that period when I had almost nothing, and he made sure Arya and I had somewhere to go.
I wish we’d had more time. I wish I’d told him more clearly what his kindness meant to me. I suppose I thought there would always be another opportunity.
To his family and everyone who loved him, I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I know my memories are only a small part of the life he lived, but they’re a part I’ll always keep.
Rest peacefully, Bryce. Arya and I made it through a difficult chapter of our lives in no small part because of you.
Thank you for taking us in. Thank you for being there when I needed someone.
I won’t forget you.

I was very saddened to hear the news of Bryce’s passing. Bryce worked with me years ago when I first got hired on to Humana Military. He guided me through my first project before moving on to another team. Bryce was a kind soul, gifted with a unique sense of humor and strong in character.

Bryce was someone who understood me like very few others could. I never felt anything but love and acceptance from him. My condolences go out to the family, you raised a wonderful man who was adored by many.

I don’t have the words right now other than to say that Bryce is all of the things so beautifully written above and I can’t believe his joy and beautiful spirit are no longer with us here on Earth. I’m so sorry.

We are so sorry for the loss of Bryce. In middle school Bryce was intelligent, hard working, and a joy to be around.
Praying for God’s comfort.
