Bryan Gibbons
January 29, 1978 –
On Monday, October 4, 2021, in no relation to National Taco Day, the world lost an amazing brother, son, husband, friend and dog dad, Bryan Gibbons, at the age of 43.
Bryan was born on Jan. 29, 1978, in Johnstown, Pa., to Michael and Michelle Gibbons. In 1997, he began his career at Nextran, and in 2001 he married the love of his life, Susana Gibbons. Together they raised several fur-babies, including Chyna, Rusty, Casper, Ruger and Kimber.
Bryan was best known for his goofy-spirit, his willingness to always help his friends, his eagerness to join his sister in pranking their mother and his love and support for veterans. Bryan ALWAYS made sure to thank a veteran with a handshake or a hug. He was also known for always being in a rush and even earning the title, “Mr. Rush.” He was great at going against the grain and doing things his own way.
Bryan had a passion for fishing, golf, Jeeps and supporting Mission 22. One of his favorite pastimes was to have cookouts with friends and family where he'd feed everyone with his amazing smoked or grilled steaks! His friends loved him dearly, and those in the Jeep community learned never to let him work on the electrical system as to avoid another Jeep fire. He was the president and founder of The Squirrels, founder and charter member of the Sun Vikings Krewe, and participated in many Orange Crush events.
Bryan was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Perry and Emma Boyle; his grandparents, Chuck and Gloria Shaffer, and William and Marjorie Gibbons; and his very first dog, Kimo.
Bryan is survived by his parents, Michael and Michelle Gibbons; his wife, Susana Gibbons, and her parents Pete and Sherry Hernandez; his grandparents, Thomas and Janet Lindsey; his sister, Colleen Keen; his brothers-in-law, Jason Keen and Pedro Hernandez; his nephew, Brayden Keen; his aunts, Kathleen Gibbons and Theresa Stanton; his uncle, Thomas Lindsey Jr.; and his many cousins.
A funeral service was held Tuesday, Oct. 12, at the National Cremation & Burial Society.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his honor to Mission 22.
