Support Bryan Bravo's Family in Their Time of Loss

We are beyond grateful to everyone who donated and helped us reach our initial goal of $25,000 for Bryan’s funeral. Your generosity, kindness, and love have brought so much comfort to our family during this devastating time.

As we began making arrangements, we were hit with the reality of just how expensive laying someone to rest can be especially in New York, where Bryan’s final resting place will be. The cemetery plot alone is $24,000, and that doesn’t include any services, transportation, or additional burial costs. We want to honor Bryan in the most respectful and meaningful way possible, but these expenses are far higher than we expected.

Because of that, we’ve updated our goal to $45,000. This isn’t something we take lightly. We know times are hard for everyone, and we’re not here to ask for more than what’s necessary. We just want to give Bryan the farewell he deserves without leaving his loved ones with a heavy financial burden on top of our grief.

Thank you for standing with us. Every donation, share, and kind word means the world. We’re doing our best to take care of everything for Bryan the way he would’ve done for us.

With love and deep appreciation,

The Family of Bryan

Hello, my name is Louise Villacci, and I am the CEO of LIFT. LIFT stands for Leading Individuals From Trauma, and one very difficult type of trauma is the loss of a loved one. We represent the family of Bryan Bravo today and ask if you could reach in your hearts and help this family with their needs to help get Bryan home and laid to rest. On behalf of the family, we are asking for help for:

• Transporting Bryan from Los Angeles to New York

• Funeral and burial costs

• Ensuring he is laid to rest with the love, care, and respect he gave so freely to others

From the words of his beloved sister Nicole are the following:

"It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden and devastating loss of our beloved Bryan. At just 32 years old, Bryan Bravo’s passing has left an indescribable void in our family and in the lives of all who knew and loved him.

Bryan was a son, a brother, an uncle, a veteran, and a treasured friend. He was the kind of person whose presence could immediately light up a room. Someone who carried others through hard moments with his humor, warmth, and sincerity. His love for animals reflected the gentle, empathetic spirit that defined him.

More than anything, Bryan adored his dog, Helius, his service animal and constant companion. Helius was more than a pet to him; he was family. Bryan loved him like a son, and the two shared an unbreakable bond that brought comfort and peace during even the hardest times.

He was deeply loved, not just by his family, but by everyone whose lives he touched. To know Bryan was to feel seen, valued, and cared for. He had a gift for making people feel safe, heard, and genuinely appreciated. His laughter, his loyalty, and his kindness left an impact that cannot be measured.

The shock of losing someone so full of life, compassion, and joy is something we are still struggling to comprehend. Our wish is to bring Bryan home to New York from California, so that he may be surrounded by the family who loved him most. We want to honor him with the dignity and tenderness he so greatly deserved. Unfortunately, the cost of transport, funeral services, and burial is more than our family can manage on our own.

We are humbly asking for your support in this incredibly

difficult time.

If you are unable to contribute financially, we are deeply grateful for your prayers, your compassion, and for sharing this page with others.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us as we grieve this profound loss and do everything we can to bring Bryan home."

“The loudest laugh in every room, softest heart in every space”
