Nicholas Branton Obituary

Nicholas Anthony Branton, 69, husband of Cheryl Ann (Braddock) Branton, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, May 5, 2025. Born in Philadelphia, he was the son of the late Edward and Eleanor (DiGaetano) Branton. Nicholas worked in private security, always dedicated to the protection and safety of others. He loved American history, going down the shore, his Italian culture, his family, and his beloved dogs - Chance, Smokey, Oliver, Riley, Maple, and Hans. He was a man of God and a 4th degree Knights of Columbus member, a global Catholic fraternal service organization known for its emphasis on charity. His vivacious spirit and generosity touched many lives and will never be forgotten. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. Surviving along with his wife, Cheryl, of 39 years, is his son Anthony Branton and his daughter Elyse Branton. Knights of Columbus services will be held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 10:30AM at St. Teresa of Calcutta Roman Catholic Church (256 Swamp Pike, Schwenksville, PA 19473). Mass will immediately follow with Fr. Brandt officiating. Burial will follow mass at Limerick Garden of Memories. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Tunnels to Towers Foundation (https://t2t.org/) in Nicholas' name.
