Celebration of life October 21st for Lewis Brancati, 1996-2017

Family and friends will gather October 21st in West Seattle to celebrate the life of Lewis S. Brancati. Here’s the remembrance that’s being shared with the community:

Lewis S. Brancati

Age 21. Born March 27, 1996. Passed away September 20, 2017 in Kirkland, surrounded by family and friends.

Lewis grew up and thrived in Burien. He attended Highline schools, and graduated from Raisbeck Aviation High School.

Lewis was sweet and funny growing up, and a kind, generous, and very loving young man who had a great impact on the lives of his friends, classmates, and family. While he had plans to pursue more schooling, he was most recently a proud employee of the US Postal Service.

Lewis is and will be terribly missed, and held in our hearts forever. He is survived by his parents Amelia Hance-Brancati and Gregory Brancati, grandmother Judith Hance, and numerous aunts, uncles, other extended family, friends, and loving communities.

Celebration of Life will be held at Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation on Saturday, October 21st at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to organizations Lewis grew up a part of: Westside UU Congregation (wsuu.org), Eliot Institute (http://www.eliotinstitute.org), and Seabeck Conference Center (seabeck.org).

    I had the pleasure of working with Lewis this past year at the Westwood post office.  He was a hard worker, never complained about the heavy workload or terrible schedule, and was  enthusiastic about going back to school . I got a glimpse of his character and sense of humor, and we will miss that.  A fine young man who has left us too soon. My deepest condolences to his parents and family.

    Lewis was a special young man, gentle and kind. He was a leader in his youth community at the Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation, and in the denomination’s larger youth community in the Pacific Northwest. He was beloved in our Congregation. His fine and loving parents have experienced the greatest of losses. May our prayers and meditations be with them.
