Bryce "Big Izz" passed away on Saturday, March 3, 2018 at home at Bad Nation (Fort Thompson) at the age of 44 years.

Bryce Damon Drapeau was born January 2, 1974 to Robert "Droop" Drapeau and Faith Bad Moccasin at Chamberlain.  Bryce was raised in Fort Thompson and lived with his "Mom" grandmother Elizabeth "Libby" Day from a very young age.  He attended elementary school at Fort Thompson and high school at Stephan.

Bryce went to the Kicking Horse Job Corp at Nemo, SD studying the culinary arts.  He returned home to work at Lode Star Casino as a black jack dealer and also in the kitchen.

He moved to Minneapolis, MN for a short time and then returned to his home in Bad Nation, SD with his mom, April, Lilianna, Laila, and Luikasee.  His health issues prevented him from being able to work.  Bryce was always with his sidekick Yuri.  They went and did a lot of things together including fishing, cruising around, drinking pop, jamming out to "Shell Shock" and TMNT.

Bryce was an avid New York Giants fan.  He especially loved when Kim and Jessie cooked because he always knew he would get a plate!
