Bryan F. Ambrosino

Our hearts are broken as we share the passing of Bryan Ambrosino — a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend. Bryan passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends, after a courageous battle with cholangiocarcinoma. In his final days, he was embraced by the people he loved most, sharing stories, laughter, and the kind of moments that will forever be treasured.

Bryan leaves behind the heart of his home — his loving wife, Erin; his beloved sons, Dean and Caden, who were his greatest pride and joy; and his brother, Mike. He is predeceased by his parents, Joe and Ginger Ambrosino, and Joe LoGioco.

In his younger years, Cheesy was all gas, no brakes — racing dirt bikes, tearing across the water on jet skis, and living life wide open with nonstop energy and enthusiasm. When he wasn’t chasing speed, he sought his next adventure in the great outdoors, whether hunting in the woods or casting a line on the water.

That same spark powered his career as a talented home improvement contractor, a craft he poured himself into for most of his life. Bryan was happiest with a tool in hand, always building, fixing, or dreaming up his next project.

Above all else, Bryan was most proud of his sons. He loved being their dad and found his greatest joy in watching them grow. His strength, humor, and unwavering love for his family will remain his lasting legacy.

Bryan will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A celebration of Bryan’s life will be held on March 14th starting at 1:00 PM at Firemen’s Field, 210 Elm Street Old Saybrook. All are welcome to join the family in honoring and celebrating his life.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Bryan’s honor to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
