Harry E. Brandise

Harry Eugene Brandise, 88, of Las Vegas, Nevada, passed away peacefully, at home, on July 3, 2025. A beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather brother, and uncle. Harry will be fondly remembered for his loving and generous spirit, which touched the lives of all who knew him. Born on July 18, 1936, in Ogden, Utah, Harry grew up in the warmth of a close-knit family and carried those values of kindness and giving throughout his long and remarkable life. Harry’s unwavering devotion to his family was always at the heart of who he was, and he took great pride in every generation that followed him. Harry was preceded in death by his wife, Diane, and his son, Michael, and his sister Julie. He is survived by his partner, Sherry, who brought him joy and companionship after the passing of the love of his life Diane; his daughters Diana Baal (Greg), Tina McLean (Willy), Hillari Brandise, April Gibbons (Brian), and son Enrico who each carry forward his legacy of compassion; and a large, loving family including sixteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, a multitude of nieces and nephews, his brother Joe Brandise, and sisters MaryAnn Potter, Betsy Hunt, Toni Morrow (Bill). Harry’s home was always filled with laughter and welcome, and his family knew they could count on him for support and wisdom. Throughout his life, Harry was known for his generosity—not just toward friends and family, but to anyone in need. Even in the smallest of interactions, he radiated warmth and empathy. While Harry’s professional achievements, and outside passions were always important, it was his role as the heart of his family and a dependable friend that defined him most. Harry’s life, spanning almost nine decades, witnessed many changes and challenges, but he faced each with courage and grace—a testament to his enduring character. Though his presence will be profoundly missed, his legacy will live on through the values and memories he instilled in all who knew him. Services to honor and celebrate Harry’s life will be held on his birthday, July 18, 2025, at Palm Mortuary on South Eastern in Las Vegas.
