Honoring and Celebrating Rudy J Brancel

Rudy J Brancel passed away peacefully with his son, Rudy, and wife, JoAnn, by his side in his home on August 3, 2024. He passed away from complications from kidney and heart disease after living with multiple myeloma for several years.

On August 17th, we will honor the life and mourn the passing of Rudy J Brancel in Key West. Rudy leaves this world and joins his daughter, Lauren, who passed away 9 years ago on August 17, 2015.

One of Rudy's dear friends recently described him as "a loving bear of a man." A bear can represent a man who is great, strong, and powerful, and will do anything in his power to protect his family. Or it can be a teddy bear, who lights up with love and joy when in the presence of his beloved children, his wife and life partner, his dog Frankie, and his many special family and friends. Rudy was a loving great bear of a man, and so much more. He will be greatly missed.

Please come celebrate his life and say goodbye to this amazing man with us. If you are able to donate, we would greatly appreciate donations to his memorial fund as we're strained financially after the past few years of his medical care.

Thank you to all who love Rudy Brancel and please continue to keep his family in your thoughts.
