Andrew Bryan Gasper

Andrew Bryan Gasper, 41, of Strabane, died suddenly and unexpectedly in the early morning of May 26, 2021.

He was born Dec. 14, 1979, the son of Drew and Deborah Mavrich Gasper.

Bryan was a 1999 graduate of Canon-McMillan Senior High School and Western Area Vocational Technical School with a certificate in heating and air conditioning. He was a member of the St. Oscar Romero Parish, St. Patrick Church in Canonsburg.

He was a life-long member of SNPJ Lodge 138, a member of IOUE Local 66 and was most recently employed with National Pipeline.

He loved  boating on the river, motorcycles, bowling, watersports, winter sports –  especially snowmobiling, snowboarding and skiing  – fishing and travelling to places like Seven Springs, Colorado, Montana and various beaches.

He was an avid BMX rider and dirt bike rider growing up, and loved going to High Point each year for the races.

He was proud of his Slovenian heritage and loved polka music. He was compassionate, kind and loved people – and always had a smile on his face.
