After the news broke, "RIP Bryce" and #BryceStrong began to trend nationally on Twitter. Members of the San Antonio community and beyond shared tributes to the young man who made a tremendous impact in his tragically short life.

💔TOO YOUNG! RIP Bryce. He was a teenager from Texas who played sports, stayed out of trouble & always stayed positive even when he was battling cancer. It breaks my heart that cancer stole this young mans life.
Pray for his family
Please don’t take life for granted

When I woke up this morning I felt it in my soul that Bryce now has the best seat in the Stadium. Imagine how big his smile will be when you take the field at the Alamodome. Go Rest High on that Mountain @BryceWisdom20. @UTSAFTBL will always be #BryceStrong https://t.co/taUCyODxVt

We love you Bryce #ForeverBryce pic.twitter.com/m6QSj25Lp8
