Bryan R. Pepe

Bryan Pepe passed away unexpectedly on Saturday July 16th, 2016. Better known as Pepe, his friends and family meant everything to him. An ironworker by trade, Bryan was a true renaissance man. If there was a job to be done, Bryan could do it. He loved being in the company of others and was always ready to make a new friend and to tell a story. He loved spending time with his friends camping and anything having to do with tigers. Bryan Pepe stories will forever be told, whether about his VW Bus or his bleach blonde afro. He was a devoted son to Ross Pepe and Mary Jane Swift, a caring brother to Matthew Pepe, Michael Pepe and Jeanne Marie Mazzari, a loving uncle to Matthew, Blake, Gianna, and Greyson, and his greatest accomplishment in life was being a gentle, compassionate and amazing father to Luca Pepe.

Visiting will be held on Tuesday, July 19th, 2016 from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm at Higgins Funeral Home in New City. A service will be held at Higgins Funeral Home at 11 am on Wednesday July 20th with burial to follow.
