Obituary of Brandon T. Talley

Brandon T. Talley, “Tal” age 52, of Newark, DE, formerly of Brookhaven, PA, died suddenly on Friday, October 31, 2025.  Tal was a graduate of Sun Valley High School, class of 1991.  Brandon was a member of the Teamsters Union driving with DHL.

Brandon was proof that miracles exist—he started as a die-hard Cowboys fan, but somewhere along the way saw the light and proudly converted to the Philadelphia Eagles, never looking back. He also was an avid Flyers fan, cheering them on through every high and low.

Tal was an extraordinary friend, who was the kind of person who made the world feel lighter just being in it. His legacy lives on in the friendships he nurtured, especially the bond he shared with Ed and Bob, and in the kindness he left behind.

Tal was a spectacular father, whose unwavering love, gentle guidance and joyful presence made every moment a gift that they will carry in their hearts. 

Brandon will be deeply missed by many, as his kindness, humor, and unwavering friendship touched the lives of everyone who knew him.
