It is with great sadness to share the announcing of Dr. Brandt’s passing.

Many of you will remember his time with us helping during the summers and learning as an intern.

He was passionate in Chiropractic and life. His steadfast faith in the Lord comforts us knowing he is welcomed with open arms.

We are all better for sharing life with him and will forever remember his kindness and enjoyment for life. He was a joy to watch as he achieved his goal of becoming a Chiropractor. I pray others are as determined as you and we can all carry your qualities you shared with us.

This is a post I never thought I would have to write, but Dr. Brandt went home to meet his Maker Thursday morning 🖤

Dr. Brandt was with us at Active Faith Chiropractic for a little over three years, and he was incredible at what he did. Every morning we started our day with devotionals. He was always deeply engaged — taking in God’s Word and applying it to his life. Over those three years, I had the privilege of watching him grow into a true disciple of Christ… a man who loved God with every breath.

During the weeks he was in the hospital, I had the opportunity to spend time with him and his family — praying over him, reading Scripture together, and simply being present. I also had the chance to meet many of his friends and extended family, which was a true blessing and a reminder of just how many lives he touched.

Over the last few weeks, people would often refer to me as his “boss.” I always corrected them and said “colleague.” But the more I’ve thought about it, the most accurate response would have been this: he was my brother in Christ, and I was his sister in Christ.

Bryce deeply loved his patients. He cared for them with genuine compassion and took pride in helping people heal and feel better. It was clear every day how much his patients meant to him — and how much they loved him in return.

We will miss him deeply, but his presence and impact will never leave this office at AFC.

The final Bible verse read to Bryce was Isaiah 41:10:

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

May we all continue to open our hearts to God and His Word. As a family member said to me this week, “God is… everything.” I’m thankful Bryce knew that.

To my patients and staff who allowed me the time to be by Bryce’s side during his final weeks, thank you for your compassion and understanding. It meant more than you know.

Please continue to keep Bryce and his family in your prayers, and mark your calendars for his benefit on March 28th.

If you have a favorite memory of Dr. Brandt or a special experience with him in the office, please feel free to share it in the comments. His family would love to see them.

Until we meet again, Dr. Brandt 🖤

We love you,

Dr. Haley Luond

Dr. McCoy will have limited hours again this week. I’ll be in Monday, Thursday and Friday.

I was out most of last week as my father passed away. I’ll be out of the office Tuesday and Wednesday for his services. Thank you for all of the support we have received.

He was the best dad a guy could ask for. Everyone, and I mean everyone loved him, except for me when mom broke wooden spoons over my butt and I’d laugh. That’s when dad came after me. 😂

He was a simple man and we are at peace as he lived a great life.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It feels like now is a good time to thank all of you. Its been said for a long time that my patients are a lot like my family. In an office like ours, it’s more than just a doctor/patient relationship. Many of you know me more than just that, and these past four months since my son Dane has passed, have revealed that. For those of you who have been in the office since spring, thank you for bearing with me. As I have written previously, it hasn’t been easy. I have tried to accommodate with my hours even though I haven’t returned to my complete schedule. Thank you for understanding.

You have been so gracious. I’m sure you would agree that it's not as awkward as you thought it would be. I have been granted the ability to manage my emotions in the office setting, and from the beginning, I can have conversations without breaking down. In all honesty, much of that happens private. To the surprise of others, in all settings, I can talk about myself, my family, Dane and emotions without becoming overly, or even slightly emotional.

Time has also helped make that easier.
I realize the gravity of your side as well. I certainly have patients with no knowledge of our situation. For them, it is business as usual. For some of you, you are so good at keeping things simple. Let’s face it, most people don’t know what to say. Most are nervous and struggle with what to say. You wonder about saying nothing, and some are worried about saying too much. Some want to say something and don’t, and others worry about saying something and wondering what and how to say it. For what its worth, things are so much easier for me now than they were months ago. With more time, it will continue to improve. Rest assured, whatever we talk about, whether it’s your health, or Dane or me, I can handle it. I wouldn’t be in the office if I couldn't. God has given me an impeccable ability to manage this and my emotions.

So, if you are wondering what to say and want to say something, simply asking, “How are you?” is a good start. For those of you that don’t shy away from asking, I can tell how you ask that question, and the emphasis you place on ‘you.’ That helps me decipher that you are wanting to know, rather than asking that question just to make conversation. Other, more direct ways, are asking about how my family is getting along, or “are you guys getting along ok?” That’s different than asking, “how’s the family?” Some may ask that to anyone, anytime, and if you happen to be someone who doesn’t know the gravity of our situation, I may not know if you know. At this point, you can tell how I know the delicacy of navigating this.

Communicating when there is a lot of emotion involved becomes tricky. On both sides. Just know, that often I don’t talk about Dane, my family or myself, even with so many who are aware, and that is perfectly fine in my eyes. The two things I want people to know is, don’t ever feel like you have to say something. And secondly, if you want to and do, keep it simple. Less is more. Fortunately and unfortunately, I’m an open book. I’ll direct the conversation, and even though it might be tough for you, it won’t be as bad as you thought.

Chiropractic care is about more than just your body. If your mind is distraught, your body will follow. That’s part of the reason I ask so much about more than just your aches and pains. If I can help with a distressed mind, everything else will follow.

Thank you for reading this. I’m fortunate to have my Chiropractic family. I will always treasure your trust in me, and value that and our relationship.

In health,
Dr. Rob McCoy

Many of you have been wondering about my absence, or if you didn’t know, I have not been at the office for most of the past couple weeks.

Tragically, my youngest son passed away from an accident while he and I were in the Black Hills, snowmobiling. Naturally, it has been very difficult on our family. We are all processing it differently, yet, in some ways better than expected. We find comfort knowing he is with God doing everything he has always wanted to do and at the same time watching over us. He will forever be missed.

As I resume my daily activities, I have decided the best time to come back to the office is next week. My treatment hours will be slightly condensed, so bear with me. I will still be in all 5 weekdays. In the meantime, or ever as I resume, if I’m not in, some Colleagues have graciously been providing volunteer relief as well as Dr. Steever who can still be seen in my absence. I tell you all of this as you are part of my extended family. Many of you have reached out to me, and I thank you. Forgive me, but it has been difficult to get to everyone.

I anticipate being able to devote the same amount of time with each of you. It is ok to express any of your emotions, so don’t feel like you have to pretend or put on a front. Please, be yourselves. I have already seen people in public, and am able to still greet with a smile. Some of us will share different emotions, but rest assured, it doesn’t have to be awkward. You can ask questions or say things knowing that it's ok to do so.

Thank you for being patient with me and understanding, and thank you for taking such good care of me and my family over the years.
