Grandson of Ines Carnazzo of Wakefield and the late George and Mary Wedge of Somerville. He was survived by lots of Aunts, Uncles, cousin, and friends.

Bryan was an Army veteran. He bravely served in Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Bryan lived to provide for Mari and Frankie. He owned and operated Northcoast Pallet in Chelsea. If he wasn't working, he was playing nerf guns or hiking with his 5 year old son, Frankie. He enjoyed taking his wife and son out for dinners, adventures, and making memories. He would think nothing of putting his family in the car and take a day trip to New York City for the Bronx Zoo and Arthur Avenue to buy expensive meats and cheeses. His love language was good food. If Bryan was feeding you, you knew he loved you.

Bryan's love for his family was evident in his daily life. He loved big, and he loved hard. He enjoyed Sunday dinners with his parents and siblings. He enjoyed naps on the couch, and Leones pizza.

Those closest to Bryan know that he's in heaven with his beloved Rocco.

God, let his memory live on through those that love him.
