Bryan Lee Naegeli, beloved husband, father, grandpa, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully in the comfort of his home surrounded by loved ones on June 17, 2024, at the age of 80.

Born on April 11, 1944, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Bryan was the first child of the late Herbert and Gretchen (nee: Massie) Naegeli. He grew up on his family farm and shared a close bond with his parents and siblings. He graduated in 1962 from Mary Bradford High School in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and served in the Wisconsin National Guard. He went on to pursue his passion in Lawn and Pool management. He spent 30+ years running Mustang Lawn and Pool and was respected for his hard work, dedication, and expertise.

When not working, Bryan enjoyed spending time with his family. He loved watching football, cheering for the Green Bay Packers, and spending countless hours enjoying NASCAR races, which he loved and enjoyed. He also cherished going out to breakfast with family and friends to catch up. Known for his constant smile and cheerful outlook, Bryan was a beacon of connection and care within our family and community. He made it his mission to keep relatives close and foster togetherness. His warm heart and thoughtful nature brought everyone closer, and his legacy of love and unity will be cherished forever. Bryan's dedication to his family and friends ensured that no one ever felt alone, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Bryan is survived by his loving wife of 19 years, Cynthia Benson; his daughter, Megan (Cliff) Campbell; and his stepchildren, Shawn (Shawna) Benson, Brian (Lisa) Benson, Elizabeth (Memo) Espinoza, and Jon (Jessica) Benson. He was a proud grandfather to ten grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings, Roger (Kris) Naegeli and Sharon (Naegeli) Bucher as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousin and friends who will miss him dearly. Bryan was preceded in death by his parents and sister Sandy (Marty) Moskopf.

A celebration of Bryan's life will be held on July 6th at 2:00 pm at Community of Grace Church. 10561 W. Pinnacle Pk Rd. Peoria, AZ 85383

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his honor to Community of Grace Church at Giving – BoldRecklessGrace or the American Cancer Society for Pancreatic Cancer at Donate Today | The American Cancer Society. Bryan will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
