Bryan Gallace Obituary
Bryan Gallace, age 21 of Fairfield, passed away Saturday in Boston where he was attending college. He is the beloved son of Robert and Stacy Gallace also of Fairfield. A 2014 graduate of Ludlow High and the Regional Center for the Arts, Bryan was a senior at Berklee Music College where he was pursuing a BA in Professional Music. He was a sensitive caring soul with the warmest smile and a contagious laugh. A gift of a mini strat guitar and pint-sized amp one Christmas from his beloved Aunt Maureen sparked his creative journey. A talented and dedicated musician, he began lessons at just six years old with Billy Bileca - a patient and amazing teacher who helped Bryan realize his passion for playing guitar. He first got to perform at the Fairfield School of Rock in 2013 and then went on to play in several local bands including If Looks Could Kill, Fistfight and Shark Rock. A self-taught drummer, Bryan's 2015-2016 stint drumming for Heavy Breath brought him so much joy. He loved Boston and his great circle of friends and his two whippets Oliver and Stella. Bryan loved family more than anything. In addition to his parents he is survived by his grandparents Margaret Gallace of Trumbull, Augustus Gallace of Stamford and Buddy and Barbara Wainhause of Norwalk, aunts and uncles Maureen Gallace and Jason Tomme of NY, NY, Barry and Sasha Gallace of Austin Texas, John and Terry Gallace of Stratford, Jeff Wainhause and Jane Yoon of Montvale, NJ and Jeff and Sandy Camp of Peoria, IL, cousins Lauren, Samantha and Rebecca; and his girlfriend Gerrica Dunning of Allston, MA. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Saturday, January 27, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. meeting directly at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 1719 Post Road, Fairfield. Friends may greet the family Friday from 4-9 p.m. in the Spear-Miller Funeral Home, 39 South Benson Road, Fairfield.

So sorry for this devastating loss!! My condolences to Bryans's parents, Barbara and Buddy Wainhouse and the rest of the family!! Words cannot express my sadness for all of you!!!!!

We came to know Bryan... and Stacy and Rob... through our son, Sean. From School of Rock, to RCA and then their band ILCK. We were fortunate and happy to be their roadies, fans and flies on the wall as we ferried them from rehearsal, to performance, to festivals and concerts. Listening to them talk, and play, and philosophize and grow. We have so many happy and loving memories of Bryan from that time that we will cherish always.
Our hearts and thoughts go out to all who knew and loved Bryan, who have been forever touched and moved by this gentle and loving soul.
