Third Point Re senior underwriter Bryan Bumsted has died after a brave battle against kidney cancer.

Mr Bumsted — a 37-year-old father of two — passed away on Sunday, January 11.

A spokeswoman for Third Re said: “As well as a successful business executive, Bryan will be remembered as an amazing family man who was wholly devoted to his wife and two young daughters.

“Bryan was a loving husband, father, son, brother and uncle.

“His enthusiasm, humour and integrity will be missed dearly by his family friends and colleagues alike.”

Mr Bumsted joined Third Point Re in 2012 as senior underwriter for its Third Point Cat Fund.

He came to Bermuda in 2006 to join Lancashire Insurance and in 2010 helped establish Q Re in Bermuda and became a partner and underwriter.

Mr Bumsted graduated from Colgate University in New York State in 1999 and began his career in New York City, becoming managing director of GSB Holdings in 2001.

He joined the reinsurance industry in 2003 when he moved to Everest Re’s New Jersey office in 2003 to become a property underwriter.
