Gyasi L. Brantley

Gyasi L. Brantley, 44 of Springfield, Ohio, made his transition to eternal life on September 27, 2024 surrounded by family and friends at Ohio State Ross Heart Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

Gyasi attended South High School in Springfield, Ohio, and he also attended Rancho High School in Las Vegas, NV where he played on the freshman varsity basketball team. He was a laid-back person who was devoted to his family and friends. He loved them dearly, and they loved him back. Gyasi was an avid sports fan. His favorite teams were San Francisco 49ers and Ohio State Buckeyes. When possible, he enjoyed playing basketball, traveling, hanging out with friends and family, attending events, and listening to music.
