DEAD Talks From Losing My Father to Becoming One with Bryce Savoy (#251)
Bryce Savoy lost his father unexpectedly on New Year’s Day. Ten months later, he became a father himself.
In this episode of DEAD Talks, we explore grief, masculinity, faith, and transformation. Bryce shares what it was like walking into the ICU, watching his father’s health decline suddenly, and starting a new year in shock.
Months later, he and his partner received devastating news at their 20-week ultrasound — including a rare one-in-a-million condition affecting their unborn son.
We discuss:
Losing a parent unexpectedly
Grieving as a man
Black men and emotional suppression
Faith during crisis
Becoming a father after loss
Facing fear and the illusion of control
Growing through grief
This is a conversation about death, resilience, and stepping into adulthood through pain.

About DEAD Talks
DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
