His son Jackson confirmed unfortunate news on social media in a heartfelt tribute to his father.

The son recalled witnessing watching his father facing every moment of pain during the treatment with “pride and courage, and an unshakable belief that somehow, everything would work out and he would win.”
“Even just a week before he passed, while battling brain tumors, slurred speech and blurry vision, he looked me in the eyes as clear as he could and told me he still believed he had a chance—and that he was willing to fight as hard as it took,” Jackson wrote in the emotional post, which included a series of adorable snapshot of the father-son duo from over the years.
“Scott Bryce lived a life worth celebrating,” he continued. In addition to mentioning his father’s illustrious career the son wrote, “My dad also made sure I knew his greatest accomplishment that came at 48 years old, becoming a Dad.”
“I am endlessly grateful God chose him to be my father, and I am so proud to be his son,” the son added before ending, “Until we meet again. [white heart emoji].”
