Obituary For Michael J. Brams

July 22, 1980 - November 8, 2018

Brams, Michael John Age 38, of Pittsburgh, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, November 8, 2018.

Beloved son of Philomena Brams of Pittsburgh and Stewart Brams of Ft. Myers, Florida; loving brother of Andrew Brams of Pittsburgh. Also survived by uncles Louis Iannotta, Lowell Brams, Edward Belveny and Donald Belveny; aunts, Bruna Galati, Karin Baird, Sue Belveny-Baron and Sandy Pegg; and many cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his birth father, Ronald Belveny. Michael was a shining soul with a beautiful smile and the gift of empathy for others. He possessed great kindness of heart and would help anyone who asked him. His wit would make you smile. The greatest gift he gave us was his enduring love. He will be greatly missed by everyone whose lives he touched. Michael valiantly fought his battle with addiction for many years, finally losing his life to this scourge of our times. He is finally at peace. His family wishes all who knew him to hold, as their last memory of Mike, that beautiful, bright, smiling face. Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 17 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. followed by a prayer service at John F. Slater Funeral Home, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227, 412-881-4100. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Michael's honor may be made to Sojourner House, 5460 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 or Message Carriers of PA, 5907 Penn Avenue, #215, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I considered him a friend. We lived together in Pennsylvania and in California. As was said in the obituary, his wit did put many a smiles on my face. We laughed and cried together. My heart goes out to the family and friends of Michael. I knew his mother and his brother, and they I specially want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I heard about this on a shift at work, I had to leave work over it. Respectfully, Justin Shields

    I used to hang out with Mike often during high school and saw him several times when he was living in California. The last time I saw him was a few years ago in Pittsburgh. My band was playing and he came to the show. I didnâ??t even know heâ??d moved back but it was great to see him. It was always great to see him. He is missed.

    I met Mike about 2 months ago. We became close as we were going to the 7am mtg every morning together. I really thought he was doing good. I wish he would have reached out to me even if it was just to talk. I spoke with him the morning that he passed and he seemed fine. So sad to lose such a great guy to the horrible disease. Hope you are at peace Brams.
