The Story

To all of you who knew my brother, Lee Brancato, it is with great sadness that he passed on April 8, 2016 at the age of 51. My brother was the best man I knew... the real deal... the salt of the earth. He gave of himself without hesitation. He was a gift to all who knew him. Lee had a horrific motorcycle accident in June of 2015 and suffered greatly. He was paralyzed from the waist down, but still strived to be the best person he could be... he never stopped trying. He never gave up. Life was hard for him a lot of the time, but we were a team... I loved him dearly. Please keep him in your hearts... as he will always be in mine. As he always said... Peace and Love...

I have not seen Lee in 25 years, tragically Lee and my son were both in accidents that left them without the ability to walk. Remarkably, this caused a re connection and it has been a great 5 months with Lee in my life. I am blessed to have such memories and by this page, it is obviously Lee has touched the hearts of many people. God Bless Lee, you will be missed! Pat Trace

Everyone who knew Lee knows his Blessing for them---Peace & Love! Life was great with Lee calling, checking in regularly just for a minute or two saying how he loved us. Lee helped us be better people; all of us were touched by his presence; we will all miss him being there and sharing time; he liked the beach and going out swimming and enjoying himself sharing his views of life. Lee was one of the real good friends of my entire life and if you throw in his sister, Lisann, they would be the best known siblings of my life---now they are both together in the afterlife and we are left behind missing their touch---To the Brancato's--It was my pleasure sharing time with your siblings, please know many others share the pain and are saddened with the loss of the Brancato family from our lives. When Lee would end his phone calls with us he would say "I Love You Guys". "Have a Blessed Day". Yes, Lee was a blessing for everyone who got to know him. Peace & Love Seth

Lee ~You never said I’m leaving, you never said Goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. In Life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts we hold a place that only you can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home. We will miss you always my friend...

Dear Lauren, I cannot express to you how very sorry I am to you and for all of us who knew and loved Lee. Your brother was the most selfless person I've ever known. I will miss his warm and generous heart, light up the room smile, contagious laugh, hugs and appreciation for all things beautiful. No one was ever more excited by a warm sunny day, lake or beach excursion or just getting together with friends. I can remember Lee telling John and I stories that made us laugh so hard we'd cry...so many wonderful memories. I am so thankful for having known your brother, he will forever be in my heart. I have prayed to God that he now knows joy, happiness and resilience like never before. So deserving. Love and peace to you, Lee. I will miss you greatly. Lynne
