Bryan Heath

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Bryan Heath, a beloved son, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Bryan, born on September 6, 1959, in Dayton, Ohio, departed this world on September 25, 2025, leaving behind a legacy steeped in laughter, love, and the spirit of service.

Bryan dedicated 15 years of his career to Aramark Uniform Services, where his steadfast work ethic and infectious humor endeared him to many. He also contributed his talents to Cummings Construction and the Dayton VA Medical Center throughout his career. A graduate of Nettie Lee Roth High School, Class of 1977, Bryan carried the values of hard work and loyalty with him throughout his life.

Above all, Bryan was a proud Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he learned the trades of Plumbing and Water Supply. His service was marked by achievements such as receiving a Meritorious Mast from his BLT Bravo Commander, along with the Rifle Expert Badge, which demonstrate his commitment and dedication to duty.

Bryan was known for his great sense of humor and his unyielding spirit. An avid sports fan, he had a special love for the Kansas City Chiefs, cheering them on with all the fervor of a true supporter. He was never one to linger idle; rather, he was always on the go, helping others and passionately working on various projects. Known as a handy man, Bryan took enormous pleasure in fixing things and offered his skills generously to friends and family alike.  He also enjoyed talking on his CB Radio; his handle was Bottle Cap bka 300.

Family was at the heart of Bryan's life. He cherished his children, Natasha Nolan and Jerome Heath, and he adored his grandchildren: Jayonte', Dayvion, Darrion, Gavin, and Neemah, showering them with love and affection. He is survived by his devoted brother, Robert Jewett (Rosa), his loving sisters, Beverly Oliver (Reuben) and Deborah Heath, and many cherished nieces, nephews, and a host of relatives and friends who will remember him fondly.

Bryan is reunited in spirit with his beloved parents, Percy and Lela Heath, his sister Mildred Williams, and his best friend, Bob Choice. Their memories live on in all who knew and loved him.

For those wishing to pay their respects, visitation will be held on Monday, October 20, 2025, from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 12:00 PM at Newcomer Funeral Home, North Chapel, 4104 Needmore Rd, Dayton, OH 45424. Burial and military honors will follow at Dayton National Cemetery.

Bryan will be deeply missed. His laughter will echo in our hearts, and his kindness will resonate through the lives he touched.
