Bryce Thomas Borella
Age 18, of Gibsonia, on Friday, June 26, 2026. Beloved son of Keith and JulieAnn Borella; loving brother of Colin Borella; cherished grandson of Charles and Dorothy Borella and Joan and the late Thomas P. Jennings; nephew of Thomas B. Jennings, Maura and Steve Stacey, MaryBeth and Vince Caputo, and Amy and Justin Durick; cousin of Maeve, Gwen, Roan, Benjamin, Jeremy, Spencer, Liam and Emma; also survived and loved by many supportive family, neighbors and friends.
Bryce was a recent graduate of Pine Richland High School and A.W. Beattie Career Center (HVAC Program).
A fierce competitor, Bryce loved being part of a team. He played ice hockey, in-line hockey, baseball and football where he built friendships, created memories, and shared his passion for the game. He brought his energy, determination, and personality to the field and rink. He was also known to throw a good bag of cornhole.
Those who knew Bryce will remember his great sense of humor, his true gift of making people laugh and the way he always lit up a room. He had a warm, caring and compassionate heart which always left one feeling better after spending even just a few minutes with him. His quick wit and outgoing personality made him truly unforgettable and gave him that rare knack to make a connection with everyone he met.
Some of his favorite memories were made spending time with family, especially days at the beach and on the golf course, moments filled with laughter, relaxation, and being together with the people he loved.
Though his time here was much too short, the impact he leaves behind will surely never be replicated. All the memories, the laughter and the love he shared can’t and won’t ever be forgotten.
Family and friends will be received on Wednesday, July 1, 2026 from 3-8 PM at English Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc., 378 Maryland Ave., Oakmont, PA 15139.
