Gesine, with her characteristic warmth and love, wrote in the caption: “Happy birthday, Bry. Sandy brought you to the river, just as she promised.” The video accompanying her post captured the serene beauty of the river, a peaceful setting that seemed to encapsulate Bryan’s spirit and the deep bond he shared with Sandra.

Bryan Randall's Battle with ALS: A Quiet but Courageous Journey
On August 5, 2023, the world lost Bryan Randall to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that silently but fiercely took its toll. Bryan, who was 57 at the time of his passing, fought this battle privately for three long years. His family only announced his death a few days later, respecting Bryan’s wish to keep his struggle out of the public eye.

The statement released to People painted a vivid picture of Bryan’s strength and grace during this time: “It is with great sadness that we share that on August 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS. Bryan chose early on to keep his journey with ALS private, and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request.”
But it wasn’t just the disease that Bryan faced with courage—it was the gratitude he expressed toward those who helped him along the way. The family added: “We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours.” Their words reflect the profound care and love that surrounded Bryan during his final days.
Gesine's Tribute: A Brother's Legacy Lives On
Gesine Bullock-Prado, Sandra’s sister and a renowned chef, also paid tribute to Bryan in her own heartfelt way. In a post on her Instagram page, she shared a message that was as much about hope as it was about mourning. “I’m convinced that Bry has found the best fishing spot in heaven and is already casting his lure into rushing rivers teeming with salmon,” she wrote. Her words painted a picture of Bryan finding peace in the afterlife, surrounded by the things he loved.
Gesine also acknowledged the strength of her sister, Sandra, and the team of nurses who helped care for Bryan in their home. “ALS is a cruel disease, but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home,” she added. It’s clear that Bryan’s care was a labor of love, and everyone involved played a part in making his final days as comfortable and dignified as possible.

Prior to his passing, Bryan ensured he said his goodbyes to all those he loved most, including his eldest daughter, Skylar, from a previous relationship. “He made sure to have closure with his loved ones before he left, but it’s hard for Sandra to think of that as a bright side,” the source revealed. While Bryan’s suffering has ended, Sandra’s heartache remains, and she’d do anything to have him back. Love like theirs doesn’t fade, even when words can no longer be spoken.
