Daniel (Buns) Brancazio

DANIEL (BUNS) BRANCAZIO, 70, of Weirton, WV died at Trinity West Hospital on Saturday, February 15, 2025. He was born on March 25, 1954, a son of Dominic and Henrietta “Keta”( Angelo) Brancazio of Weirton. Daniel, a Catholic by faith, graduated from Weirton Madonna High School in 1972 and attended West Virginia University. He had a twenty-eight-year career in the gaming industry. His most recent position was Floor Supervisor at River’s Casino in Pittsburgh. He was also part-owner of Club Ledo’s from 1978 to 1987. Buns traveled extensively for his work during his lifetime, but his favorite destination was at his parents’ kitchen table where he shared his keen wit, played cards, and told tales of his adventures. Buns loved his family. He also loved sharing his “opinion” on sporting events with his cousin and best friend, Tommy Paolo, as well as enjoying his favorite pastime on occasion, the horse races. He also liked movies and could have been a movie critic in another life. Most of all he was a kind soul with a good heart who cared more about others than himself. In addition to his parents, Daniel was preceded in death by his brother John (Bear). Left to cherish his memory with love are his sister Joan (Jim) Dayoub, brothers Stephen (Susan) Brancazio, Thomas “TJ” Brancazio, all of Weirton, Jared (Amy) Brancazio of Ft. Myers, FL., sister-in-law Sara Brancazio of Weirton, nieces, nephews, cousins, great-nieces, and great-nephews, and many friends. Friends are invited to visit Daniel’s family on Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 12 p.m. until the time of his 1 p.m. Memorial Mass, at St. Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weirton. Fr. Binu Sebastian will preside. Daniel’s request for cremation will be honored. He will be cremated at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be made in Daniel’s name to Curesearch.org. The family wishes to acknowledge and thank Dr. Cherian John, Dr. Maria Tranto, and the entire staff at the Meadows of Cadiz Nursing Home, who extended such kindness during his convalescence.
