Bryan was born in Moscow on Feb. 1, 1972, to Cliff and Linda (Cone) Osborne. The family moved to Orofino when Bryan was two years old. He attended school in Orofino from 1977 to 1986 before his family moved back to Potlatch. He attended Potlatch High School and graduated in 1990. After graduating, Bryan attended the University of Idaho to study business and marketing, and while attending he joined Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity (ATO). During his time at the university, he worked as a bouncer at the Corner Club and Mingles in Moscow. He also worked at JCPenney as a customer service representative in the men’s department. As a bouncer, he met Angela (Wombolt) Osborne of Wardner, Idaho, and the two were married in 1996 (divorced in 2008).

He left the family company for a few years and worked for Pine Creek Logging then returned to C&M Logging in 2020. In May of 2012, he married Hope Johnson (divorced 2021).
Bryan will forever be known as the life of the party with his sassy remarks and outgoing personality. He loved to spend time with his family and friends. He was a man of many interests such as working in his shop on his many cars, projects around his property, fishing, music, shooting pool down at the Onaway bar, going for rides in the mountains either in his jeep or his side by side. One of his favorite things to do was to send music trivia to his friends and family. Bryan was also known for posting some of the best Facebook memes which many chuckled at.
