Bryan Hause
December 19, 1960 ~ November 26, 2017
Bryan R. Hause, 56, of Gettysburg, passed away Sunday, November 26, 2017 at “the store” in Gettysburg.
A celebration of Bryan’s life was held Saturday, December 2, 2017 at Napa/Midway Parts in Gettysburg. Per Bryan’s request, stop anytime between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to visit with family and friends, and enjoy music and a meal.
Bryan Robert Hause was born on December 19, 1960, to Robert “Bob” and Mardell (Leisinger) Hause in Gettysburg. He attended school in Gettysburg, graduating in 1979. Bryan met Geri through NAPA, and they were married in 1993.
Bryan and Geri purchased Midway Parts from his parents in 1993 to secure a lifelong career as the local parts guy in Gettysburg. Bryan always had a passion for sports, particularly baseball and softball. He spent many years coaching women’s and coed softball teams, and always enjoyed watching a game at the Gettysburg park in his pickup with a bag of seeds. He also headed up a local football pool for many hopeful fans. He loved the annual family trip out to the Black Hills with his wife, children, and grandchildren. Bryan was elected to the Gettysburg City Council and served from 2013 until his passing. He also enjoyed beating the pants off any brave soul that would challenge him in a good 'ole game of cribbage.
Bryan will be missed by many, including his wife, Geri Hause of Gettysburg; children: Nick (Stephanie) Marty of Gillette, WY, and Andrea (Clinton) Powell of Armour, SD; grandchildren: Peyton, Gavin, and Aiden Marty (Nick), and Garrison, Caden, Sutton Rae, and Keston Powell (Andrea); mother, Mardell Hause of Gettysburg; brothers: Darrell (Martena) Hause of Sheboygan, WI, Dennis Hause of Bismarck, ND, and Larry Hause of Edina, MN; sisters: Pam (Jim) Rieger of Estelline, SD and Janet (Joe) Beacom of Crystal, MN; mother-in-law, Veronica Behmen of Hopkins, MN and numerous nieces and nephews.
Bryan was preceded in death by his father, Robert Hause; father-in-law, Warren Behmen; niece, Amanda Rieger (Pam); and nephew, Yuri Hause (Dennis).
Geri, Nick, and Andrea would like to express their gratitude to all that made Bryan’s life so full, and those that put up with the “bark” that came with knowing him. Please join the family in a life celebration of burgers, brats, and fellowship on Saturday, December 2nd, from 11am - 1pm at Midway Parts in Gettysburg.
Luce Funeral Home of Gettysburg has been entrusted with Bryan’s arrangements.

My sympathies to the family.
Sending you our prayers and deepest sympathies to the whole family. Bryan was such a generous person who was so wonderful to my dad during his battle with cancer. My dad loved working for Bryan at Napa delivering parts. I have to believe that they are both together now probably having a good old debate over politics.
So sorry for your loss
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
to Bryans Family and Many Friends, we send our Deepest sympathy to all of you May the Good Lord comfort you in this sad time.
I remember Bryan as a fun loving classmate from the class of ’79. My thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.
To Bryan’s family and Pam: Wow-what a shock! I had Bryan as a vocal student at Gettysburg and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with him. I am glad we surprised him many years ago and stopped at the store to surprise him. I only wish we had stopped more! We extend our sympathy and prayers to his family. Heaven got a new choir member and a great guy!
Geri & family, our hearts go out to you and your family. It is so difficult losing a loved one so young. May your special memories help you through this very difficult time. Take care.
I was honored to meet Bryan while at the old NAPA store with his Dad starting back in 1983 or so. Throughout the years I was fortunate to continue that friendship, and watch how happy he was after meeting Geri, and getting married. Many fond memories then, now , and many years to come. I was always made to feel like one of the family, of which I will always be grateful. My sincere condolences on Bryan’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Geri and all the family.
My heart goes out to you Geri and all your family at this most difficult time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love & Hugs, Mary

To Bryan’s family and friends, Although it has been many years since I had seen Bryan, I will forever have great memories of him! That smirky grin, the twinkle in his eyes, the hearty laugh, and the forever-big heart! Am thankful to have had him as a friend! My deepest sympathy!
We are so sorry for your loss, and continue to pray for you during this difficult time. Wish that we could have been there for the celebration of his life, but other family commitments for this weekend prevented us from coming. We will keep in touch!
I’m sorry to hear of Brian passing. Please know my heart goes out to you and your family.
Bryan and I grew up together and it has been years since I have seen him. As mentioned, Bryan had a “bark” but I always appreciated his honest opinions. Sympathies to the family.
