IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Brandon C.
Gehris
February 2, 2001 – September 3, 2025
Brandon C. Gehris, 24, of Northampton, passed away on September 3, 2025. Born on February 2, 2001, in Allentown, he was the beloved son of Christopher Gehris and Tanya (VanBrunt) Nissen.
Known to his closest friends as "Brogie," Brandon had a passion for riding his motorcycle and a love for the outdoors — hunting, fishing, or spending time at the cabin. He also enjoyed games of every kind, from disc golf and basketball to video games with friends. He carried that playful spirit from childhood, when he and his brother Jesse dreamed of becoming WWE Tag Team Champions.
Brandon was a 2019 graduate of Kutztown High School. He started his profession in construction at Builders Door & Hardware before finding his current home with Boyle Construction to continue his career pursuit in a job he loved. He had also spent nearly a decade working at Spectators Bar & Grill. He was regarded as a dedicated worker, and all three places became extended families to him.
Through his final gift of organ donation with the Gift of Life organization, Brandon continues to touch the lives of others.
Brandon will be remembered with love by his father and stepmother, Chris and Jennifer Gehris; his mother and stepfather, Tanya and Ryan Nissen; his paternal grandmother, Terrie Gehris; his siblings, Jesse Werkheiser, Jayden Gehris, Mia Mineo, and Norah Mineo; and his girlfriend, Abriana Todd.
His first pet, Tato the lizard, remains lovingly cared for by his family.
Family and friends are invited to gather on Wednesday, September 10 at Jerusalem Western Salisbury Church, 3441 Devonshire Rd., Allentown. Visitation will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, followed immediately by funeral services. Arrangements are entrusted to Schantz Funeral Home, P.C., Emmaus.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Brandon's memory to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
