Brandon Fornari, a dedicated professional, loving father, and cherished member of his community, passed away in April 2025. He was a resident of Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, and served as an Asset Protection Manager at Walmart for over 17 years.
Born with a passion for leadership and business, Brandon pursued his education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he studied Business Management with a minor in English and Spanish. His career journey included 14 years as an Executive/General Manager at Team Motor Sales in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, before transitioning to Walmart, where he built a legacy of hard work and commitment.
Brandon faced significant health challenges in his final months. In December 2023, he was admitted to the ER for trauma and underwent surgery. Though the procedure was initially successful, he experienced complications, including difficulty breathing, pneumonia, and ICU psychosis. He remained on a ventilator and required constant medical supervision. Despite these hardships, he showed moments of progress, displaying his fighting spirit and determination to recover. His family and friends continuously rallied around him, offering their love, prayers, and support. While he was discharged from the ICU and continued on the path to recovery, his health struggles persisted, and he ultimately passed away.
