Halbert, Bryce William, of Laguna Niguel, CA, loving husband and father, devoted son, brother, uncle and cherished friend to many passed away on Wednesday, August 15, 2012. He was 43 years old.

Bryce had to undergo emergency abdominal surgery while on vacation with his family and friends in Cabo San Lucas. A few days after the surgery he developed a pulmonary embolism and pulmonary edema, which ultimately led him into cardiac arrest. His family is devastated by the loss of someone so young and so loved.

Bryce was born on May 18, 1969 in Teaneck, New Jersey. His family moved to Laguna Beach, California when he was two years old . Bryce attended Laguna Beach High School and continued on to receive a Journalism/PR Bachelor's Degree from San Diego State University. He had a very successful career at Brand ID LLC. in Costa Mesa, California for the past 13-years.

Bryce is survived by his wife, Tricia; four children, Cole, Will, Tess and Brynn; parents, Bill and Ginny Halbert of Laguna Beach, sister, Lyn Hubert of San Diego, sister Jill Greer of Laguna Niguel, and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Bryce was a loving husband, dedicated family man and compassionate friend. He had a love for sports and especially enjoyed coaching his kids. To many young and old, Bryce was a respected role model. He cared deeply for others and had an ability to make everyone feel special. Bryce will be remembered by all for his unique sense of humor, easygoing demeanor and incredible capacity for love.

Our hearts ache for all that he was; husband, father, son, friend and more.

Tributes may be given to "The Halbert Family Trust": PO Box 4156, Dana Point, CA 92629 in lieu of flowers.
