Bryan P. of Blackstone formerly of Roslindale, July 3, 2026. Loving husband to Catherine Norcross-Melson. Devoted father of Melissa Norcross, Colin Norcross-Joyce, John Melson, Jeannette (Melson) Tupper. And loving grandfather to Antonio, Sierra, Edward, and Brittany. Grandson to the late John and Emily Colombo. Loving son to the late Carroll and Jeannette (Colombo) Melson. Brother to the late Elaine Melson and Joanne Avery.

Bryan fought bravely for one year even though his diagnosis was terminal. He did not crumble in the face of this adversity; instead he met each challenge of his disease head on. His favorite things to do were to work with his hands, watch old western shows, and relax. He always believed that if you do the right thing, make the right choices in life, everything else would fall into place. There is a hole that was once filled with love, we will miss him greatly.
