LOUIS MARTIN BRANCO, age 69. LOUIS MARTIN BRANCO, age 69. Husband of Ruth (nee Myers); father of Karen Branco and Andrea Tanner (Mike); grandfather of Armando Barba, Damian Barba, River Tanner and Harlow Bennett; son of the late Rita (nee Boehm) and Louis Branco; brother of Tina Shopoff (the late George), Rita Gove (Chuck), Jerry Branco, Robert Branco (Jodi) and Sheila Kleinhenz (Paul); uncle and friend of many.

He had a lifelong love of music and was happiest behind a set of drums. Though naturally quiet, he had a subtle, witty sense of humor that brought unexpected laughter to those around him. He enjoyed life's simple routines — often riding his bike or walking wherever he needed to go — and he shared that love of being outdoors with his family. He created memories filled with patience, joy, and gentle companionship. He will be remembered for his kind spirit, steady presence, and the love he showed in the small, everyday ways that meant the most.

Passed away November 12, 2025. Funeral Mass Saturday, November 15, Our Lady of Angels Church (3644 Rocky River Dr.) at 12 Noon. Interment Holy Cross Cemetery.
