Brandon V. Geraldino

Brandon V. Geraldino, 17 years young, of Hellertown, was called to heaven on Friday, July 21, 2017 with his family by his side. He was born August 3, 1999, in Bayonne, NJ; the son of Diana E. Delsalto and Vantroy Geraldino. Although Brandon was non-verbal, he was destined to teach the people he encountered throughout his life, lessons about themselves and what love truly is. Brandon was love and strength.

Brandon attended a few Area Schools and ended his academic career at Northeast Middle School. He made his family so proud when he became a child representative for Easter Seals in 2003; assisting in raising money for children with disabilities. Brandon enjoyed his time playing baseball with the Miracle League. He loved having a special relationship with his brother, Jaydon. Brandon will be remembered for his willingness to love and to be loved, his ability to change the lives of those he met, and the teachings of patience, endurance, and strength that he passed on. Despite all of the challenges Brandon faced, his happiness could be felt and his smile always seen.



Brandon will be dearly missed by his father, Vantroy Geraldino, his mother, Diana E. Delsalto; his brothers, Jaydon & Xavier Geraldino; maternal grandparents, Olga Delsalto of Easton and Hugo DelSalto of Hellertown; paternal grandparents, Santa Christina Geraldino of Bayonne and Domingo Geraldino of Domincan Republic; and caregiver, friend and honorary family member, Akua “Nana” Abrafi. Brandon was preceded in death by his grandfather, Angel Roberts with whom he will be interred.

The family would like to thank all of the teachers, nurses, doctors and countless medical personnel that have cared for Brandon over the past 17 yrs.
