Bryan E.  Bungo, 82, of Strongsville, passed away in the early morning hours of Saturday, November 15, 2025 surrounded by the love of his family. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio to parents, Stanley and Mary (nee: Kubicina) on February 8, 1943. Bryan worked for many years at Hansen Manufacturing in Cleveland.  A devoted member of Heartland Community Church in Medina, Bryan lived his life with faith, kindness, and an unwavering dedication to those he cared about. He proudly served his country in the United States Army, an experience that shaped his character and instilled in him a deep sense of honor and gratitude.

Bryan was known for his lifelong passion for cars—whether he was talking about them, fixing them, or simply admiring a classic model, he brought enthusiasm and joy to anyone who shared in the conversation. An avid Elvis Presley fan, he could light up a room with his knowledge, memorabilia, and love for the King's music. Above all, Bryan cherished time spent with his family. His grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and nothing brought him more happiness than being involved in their lives, supporting them, and creating memories they will forever hold close.

He will be remembered for his warm smile, generous spirit, and the deep love he had for his family and friends. Bryan's legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched and the moments of laughter, loyalty, and love he shared with those fortunate enough to know him.

Survivors include his daughter, Michelle (Thomas) Bungo Iwan; grandchildren, Thomas Jr., Timothy, Steven, and Julianne. He is the former husband of Dianne Bungo. He is preceded in death by his parents.
