Bryan dedicated his life to service and honor. He served as a Master-at-Arms at Naval Base Coronado, where he carried out his duties with commitment, strength, and pride. His service reflected the character of a man who believed in protecting and helping others.
Bryan will be deeply missed by his loving family. He is survived by his father, James Papaleo and his wife Mary, his mother, Shannon Simonian and her husband Scott; his brother Jimmy Papaleo and his wife Brooke, his brother Mathew Papaleo; his grandparents; his entire family and friends.
Bryan will be remembered for his character, sense of humor, the bonds he formed with those around him, and the dedication he showed to those he loved throughout his life and in the Navy. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Though his time with us was far too short, Bryan leaves behind a lasting legacy of love, service, courage, and family.
The Family of Bryan Papaleo would like to request any donations that are made in lieu of flowers to be directed to Honoring Our Fallen at honoringourfallen.org. (http://honoringourfallen.org./)
