Brian Pantano

In Loving Memory of Brian Pantano

Brian Pantano, of New York, passed away on September 27, 2026, while recently staying in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He passed away peacefully in his sleep.

Brian was a man of few words, but his presence spoke volumes. He carried himself with pride and honor and was truly a force to be reckoned with. He stood firm in his convictions, lived life on his own terms, and faced everything with strength, courage, and determination.

Brian lived by his own code and remained true to himself. He was a man who could not easily be shaken, and those who knew him will remember the strength of his character, his unwavering spirit, and the mark he left on their lives.

He lived by the sword and died by the sword, always standing by the principles he believed in.

Brian is survived by his father, Robert Pantano Sr. his step mother Margie Bartlett; his mother, Michelle Bartholomew; his brother, Robert Pantano Jr.; his sisters, Laura Pantano and Ellie Pantano; his nephew Jowell Pantano his niece, Emerald Pantano; and his nephew, Remy Pantano. He is also survived by many loving relatives and dear friends who will remember him and cherish the memories they shared with him.

Brian will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.

Jesse/ Patricia Rojas/bartholomew I was so sad to hear about my great nephew Brian I remember when he was born I know he didn’t want anybody to cry or be sad. I can’t help. He always wanted everybody to be happy for him, but I can’t help. Being sad for him and all our family. May he rest in peace always love you great Nephew. Jesse broome I did not have the pleasure of meeting Brian, but I’m sure he was a wonderful person and I’m sad and to lose another family member. May he rest in internal peace

I didn't know brian that Long but he was very kind and respectful, its Sad that the best people have to leave us so soon, he will be greatly missed.

It brought me great sadness to hear of your passing so young. I wish the kids could have had a closer relationship with you like you had with Emerald when she was a baby. You promised her you were going to beat up her 1st boyfriend. I will always cherish the memories Bobby, you, and me built when we lived on Fort Hamilton. I hope you are at peace now and that you look over us. Your memory will always live on. RIP Brian.

Patrick Green

Such a young man gone way too soon, Rest in Peace Brian 🙏

Damn bro I'm really sad to hear the news and I don't even know where to begin. I have so many memories with you it's unreal to even think about. From all the Florida adventures we had in particular Kissimmee running around being wreckless when we were younger but it wasn't just limited to Florida. Ive literally got memories with you all over the country. Maryland. Philly. New York. And all the other places that we traveled together with Austin working for the fair. You will be missed homie fr. I wish things were better and I was able to see you in recent years. I'll never forget when I was still a teenager under not the best of circumstances you and your sister being the only ones who would come and visit me on my 2 years of house arrest. I wish things turned out differently with me and your family and I know despite everything you told me I'd always be your family. You were a different kind of animal and as loyal as they came to the people you loved. I'll miss you bro. Rest in peace.

  1. Bryan –

    I hate that things went this way. You were always full of life, ready for a good time and a blast to be around. although you were notorious for giving me a hard time, it was always love on this side. I don’t know if anyone has ever made me
    laugh as hard as you have. I wish my kids would have got the chance to meet you.

    Watch over your cousins from up there. I promise your memory will live on with us.

    Rest peacefully Bry love you forever

  8. Gone way too soon .. this guy would go to war for anyone of us that he was close with! So many good times and good moments shared , gone but not forgotten to a whole different meaning. You was like another brother brother to me and my family . We was all young kids just trying to find a way to better ourselves and was always there for each other , I will always remember the good times man so many missions we went on and good times spent . Much love to a real one .

  9. I been wanting to say something about Brian since I found out this heartbreaking news. I have been a loss of words. All I know is that I have the most fondest memories with you. I’ll never forget when you moved to Florida and you and your brother lived with me at grampas house for a while with Aunt Annie. We were inseparable. Probably because I was trying to keep you and you friends out of trouble. I was 25 and you were 15 I felt like you were my kid. You drove me crazy but it was all fun. You definitely made an impact in my life back then and gave me responsibility as 25 which I needed you’re not only my cousin and like my kid you were also one of my best friends we would talk about everything. Even though we haven’t saw each other in years when we finally talked after not seeing each other for so long it was like we didn’t miss a beat like we were talking the whole time and I remember you made me actually cried that time on the phone because I really didn’t realize how much I meant to you until we had that conversation and I hope you know how much you meant to me. we had a special bond we were able to talk to me about everything with no judgement. I will always cherish all the memories we had together the fun times but not so fun times even the times you drove me crazy . Fly high lil cuz until we meet again RIP Brian love and miss you so much
