Brandon Harbach

Brandon M. Harbach, 19, of Spring Township, passed away Saturday, April 29, 2017 at 6:14 am as a result of a traffic accident in Robeson Township. Born in West Reading, Brandon was the son of Kathleen E. (Schappell) Ballick, wife of Bernard M. Ballick with whom he resided and Michael S. Harbach, companion of Lisa F. Oswald of Temple. He was a member of West Lawn United Methodist Church and was a 2016 graduate of Wilson High School where he participated in Cross Country. Brandon was currently a freshman at Temple University studying architecture. In addition to his parents, Brandon is survived by his paternal grandmother Roberta Harbach of Temple, his uncle Dean Schappell of Reading, and aunts Karen Grim of Temple and Christine Harbach of Florida as well as several cousins. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Marilyn and Richard Schappell, his paternal grandfather Florin Harbach, and his aunts Colleen Schappell and Cheryl Heberling.
Brandon loved listening to music, playing guitar and singing. He enjoyed attending classes at Temple, and was especially fond of his architecture classes. As a child, he always enjoyed playing with Legos as well as computer games that involved building things, so it was no surprise that he chose Architecture as a major in college. He loved spending time with his friends, both at Temple and at home, and his girlfriend Rachel. Brandon was a smart young man with great potential, and he will be greatly missed by family and friends.
