Brenden Agorilla Obituary
At age 15, Brenden passed away from complications from a life-long battle with Nemaline Rod Myopathy.
Born on February 2, 1996, Brenden was the most amazing, loving, kindest person anyone could have ever met. His wit and charm were like no other. Brenden was an amazing artist. Harry Potter was a huge inspiration for his life-like drawings. He also enjoyed talking with his friends all across the country. Although he had physical limitations, he lived every day as if it were his last, enjoying every second of every day.
He touched the lives of many, and all that knew him consider themselves lucky to have been in his presence. Although he was young, Brenden taught many about strength, courage and selfless love. Brenden will be greatly missed.
Brenden is survived by parents Cristy Agorilla and Robert Galster; grandparents Eduardo and Victoria Agorilla and Richard and Rose Galster; his aunt and her fiancé, Sonia Agorilla and Bob Fad; and his loving nurses from Bayada Nursing Agency.
Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 12:30 pm on Monday October 3, at St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church, 809 S. Broom Street, Wilmington. Friends may visit with the family from 6 to 8 pm on Sunday evening at the CHANDLER FUNERAL HOME, 7230 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin. Interment will be private.
