Argyle - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brandon D. Wren, 35, a beloved son, brother, and friend. Brandon passed away in Argyle on Saturday, December 28, 2024.

Brandon was born on April 18, 1989, in Cambridge, New York, and grew up in the community he loved. A graduate of Salem Central School, he continued his education at Adirondack Community College and Hudson Valley Community College. Brandon's hardworking spirit was evident in his career in the waste management industry. He dedicated 12 years to Ace Carting, followed by the last 3 years at Casella Waste, where he was well-known for his commitment and reliability.  Before that, he worked for his Uncle Ryan Kirchner who mentored Brandon and gave him a love for building.

Brandon found joy in the simple pleasures of life—whether it was fishing, hunting, or spending time outdoors. He was passionate about nature and cherished the time spent with family and friends, or the simple comfort of the home that he loved with Caitlyn Bearor and their two dogs. Brandon's love for his family was immeasurable, and he will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering loyalty to those closest to him, especially his dog Murphy.

Brandon is survived by his parents, Lee Kirchner Wren of Salem, NY and David Wren of Salem, NY, as well as his siblings: Caroly (Andres) Wetzel of Jacksonville, FL, Candice (Karl) Sobylak of Latham, NY, Kalynn (Edwin) Droz of Glenville, NY, Cody Wren of Greenwich, NY, and Clayton Wren of Greenwich, NY. He is survived by his cherished nieces and nephews: Natasha, Isabelle, Jake, Valentina, Reese, Mateo, and Marco. Brandon is also survived by his Fiancé, Caitlyn Bearor of Argyle, NY, who saw him through thick and thin. He was predeceased by two aunts, Sue Kirchner and Ruth Kirchner.

Calling hours will be Friday, January 3, 2025 from 4-7 pm at the McClellan-Gariepy Funeral Home, 19 East Broadway, Salem.
