1991 – 2017
AUBURN — On Sunday, Jan. 22, Bryce John Galgano departed our world to begin a new adventure in spirit.
Bryce was born in Lewiston on Oct. 24, 1991, to John and Lorraine Galgano. He grew up in Poland and attended Poland Regional High School. While there, was active in varsity basketball. He worked at various jobs, most recently for Concrete Craftsman Inc.
Bryce was everyone’s friend. He had a heart of gold and was very caring, sensitive and funny. He loved his family, friends and his beagle, Bella, which he rescued. He was a selfless person, always having empathy.
Bryce was the life of the party, always being comical to create smiles. He enjoyed fishing on the bog in the canoe, snowboarding, playing disc golf, basketball with his family and friends, and playing Xbox with his brother, Brett. He also loved taking road trips with his stereo full blast, grinning ear to ear. He loved to push limits, living life with no fear or shame to its fullest, enjoying cliff-diving at Smalls Falls.
Recently, Bryce quoted, “It all changed, man; it was just yesterday, times was so ugly, and now I’m comfortable. I just only can thank God, suddenly everything changed before my eyes, by my surprise.”
Bryce is survived by his mother and her fiancé, Michael, of Poland; his father of South Carolina; his stepmother, Joanne Galgano of Lewiston; sisters, Brandi Galgano of Lewiston, Bailey Galgano of New Gloucester, and Bri Galgano of Erwin, N.C.; his brother, Brett of Gray; maternal grandmother, Edna Jones of Poland; maternal grandfather, Norman Gellatly and his wife, Deb, of Auburn; aunts, Evawn Young and husband, David, of Poland, and Maggie Gellatly of Auburn; uncle, Doug Gellatly of Lisbon; cousins, Cassie Hafner of Oxford, Julien Figueroa of New Gloucester, Elijah Young of West Minot, and Brawn Young of Poland; several nieces and nephews; and his girlfriend, Erika Sobieraj, and his dog, Bella, of Auburn.
